Very large numbers could not be done in Roman numerals since they have to keep creating symbols as the numbers get larger
In ancient Greece, tossing an apple to a girl was a traditional proposal of marriage. Catching it meant she accepted.
What if she was clumsy?
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
Does this mean redheads are smarter then blondes?
The letter J does not appear anywhere on the periodic table of the elements.
That is because it has not been discovered yet.
Stimulating ain’t it? you done good;)

Maybe in a normal persons body, but not in mine.
Another Fun Fact: Liberals screw up everything that they come in contact with.
“If you get into the bottom of a well or a tall chimney and look up, you can see stars, even in the middle of the day.”

What about the penis? :-)

If two of your crazy aunts tell you that “you can see stars in the daytime” and you fall for it by lying on the ground covered by a raincoat while looking up the raincoat sleeve as one of the crazy aunts holds the sleeve skyward directing and encouraging your experience the other crazy aunt stealthily approaches the sleeve opening with a pitcher of water... “do you see anything?” WHOOOSH! “How ‘bout now?” as they they run off cackling.
Yes you have been had... but you made their day.
They lost that copyright as a result of a lawsuit. Since 2016, that song is in the public domain.
When a person dies, hearing is the last sense to go. The first sense lost is sight.
How do they know? Are people reporting back after they die?

Yes, that ‘fact’ is questionable.
1) The tongue is a muscular organ that has a role in the nervous system as a sensory organ (taste), and as an accessory organ of the digestive system.
2) The definition of organ is a system made up of tissue operating together to perform a function. The penis is an organ made up of muscle tissue, along with blood vessels, nerve fibers and so on. It performs a distinct function, therefore it’s an organ.

Should have researched this list. Found it being discussed on Snopes back in 2013.
Sorry guys - Go back to what you were doing.

I was not actually referring to the penis. I dont even know whether or not the fun fact is true. I was making a joke about myself. Due to an injury,a while back, I have a muscle in one of my fingers that is detached at one end. Its curled up inside the base of the finger, which now has limited motion.
If you can believe Wikipedia, "In 1988, Warner/Chappell Music purchased the company owning the copyright for US$25 million, with the value of 'Happy Birthday' estimated at US$5 million." But "In 2016, Warner/Chappell settled for US $14 million, and the court declared that 'Happy Birthday to You' was in the public domain."
So, "Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You!"
I guess that Seinfeld producers likely had to pay to sing "Happy Birthday" to Walter on his special day (the other Walter, from Returns).
