American car horns beep in the tone of F. The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache. ![]() Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. The first owner of the Marlboro company died of lung cancer. Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. Betsy Ross is the only real person to ever have been the head on a Pez dispenser. The citrus soda 7-UP was created in 1929; "7" was selected because the original containers were 7 ounces. "UP" indicated the direction of the bubbles. No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. 1 in every 4 Americans has appeared on television. Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty years of age or older. ![]() A Boeing 747's wingspan is longer than the Wright brothers' first flight. The albatross drinks sea water. It has a special desalinization apparatus that strains out and excretes all excess salt. In Clarendon, Texas, there is reportedly a law on the books that lawyers must accept eggs, chickens, or other produce, as well as money, as payment of legal fees. Cats purr at 26 cycles per second, the same as an idling diesel engine. A dragonfly flaps its wings 20 to 40 times a second, bees and houseflies 200 times, some mosquitoes 600 times, and a tiny gnat 1,000 times. ![]() Adolf Hitler's mother seriously considered having an abortion but was talked out of it by her doctor. Marilyn Monroe had six toes. The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for
blood plasma. No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven (7) times. Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty (50) years of age or older. The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum. The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class. Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. So did the first "Marlboro Man." Walt Disney was afraid of mice. Pearls melt in vinegar. The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order. It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first U.S. president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal." The second? William Jefferson Clinton. (Please don't tell me you're SURPRISED!?!!) And the best for last..... Turtles can breathe through their butts.
