I see double
RE: No. 10. I might easily believe that the entire human brain is capable of storing 5x the information contained in the Encyclopedia Britannica, but not a single brain cell.
An inch worm is neither a worm nor an inch long.
a dream is only 2-3 seconds?!? So that entire epic adventure I had really only lasted as long as a breath?
#17 – except when looking at the surfer picture. And the other surfer picture.
22. And after learning #21, it is almost impossible to not hold your thumb up to your face.
Dail: I agree with you. Remembering a piece of knowledge is due to the cooperation of many cells firing in sequence. I think its just a typo though.
And to #1: it must be including dreams you don’t remember, because my I.Q. is 156, and throughout my entire life I’ve had 3 dreams I can remember as of right now.
I think my lack of dreams is because my high I.P. at night.
Not really, all my dreams died when I said ‘I do’.
Lol @ Scott. My IQ is only 120 and I dream all the time, and in color.
#17 is false. The hardest bone in the body is actually the ossicles (hammar, anvil, stapes) in the ear. IF they weren’t the hardest…well…it wouldn’t work for audition
I had fun interchanging parts of sentences. Like, for guys, the first phrase in #19, ahead of #17.
Or the first of 16 with the last of 9. #8 with #10.
Like the old standby: I was built upside-down. My feet smell and my nose runs.
Maoman- #22. The navel is also the rewind button.
My thumb is easily longer than my nose!
I loved these…I tweeted most of them on twitter…if your life is sad follow me on twitter you have nothing to lose @samthepoodle
A typo on that last one. Your thumb is the same
length as your hose.
The circumference of your fist is the same as the length of your foot.
LOL @ emaneff

Not to be a troll, but really? I fail to see how these trivial effects can inspire wonder.
Also, the above statement assumes we are creationists.
Also, the big thumb also has only 2 bones while the other fingers have 3. There are 7 vertebrae in your neck, the same number as in a giraffe neck.
JL
The “big thumb”?
One and twelve are not true… the rest seem legit though…
