We use 100% percent of our brain, just not at a single time. If we used it all at once, we would be having a siezure.

96. The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache.
126. The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attachedto its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. 142. Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.
143. Men can read smaller print than women; women can hear & smell better.
152. If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
161. The nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosey" is a rhyme about the Black Plague. Infected people with the plague would get red circular sores ("Ring around the Rosey"), these sores would smell very badly so common folks would put flowers on their bodies (inconspicuously), so that it would cover the smell of the sores ("a pocket full of posies"). Furthermore, people who died from the plague would be burned so as to reduce the possible spread of the disease ("ashes, ashes, we all fall down").
176. People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you sneeze, your heart stops for a mili-second.
190. If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16,1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles?
202. There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious."
Let me go at these all because they are wrong or at the least misleading:
15.)Obviously a sports superstar gets paid more than the people that get work outsourced to them.
36.) People don't eat spiders in their sleep. That is just ridiculous. Why would a spider crawl into the wet, windy mouth of something unless they are suicidal?
41.) Debunked by Snopes.
48.) Here are 2 continents whose names don't start and end with the same letter: North America and South America.
52.)Not that surprising due to their massive overpopulation.
91.)Insects aren't looking to die, much like spiders in 36.
96.)I really don't believe that, because it seems far too ridiculous. If there is 1 brand of playing cards with a mustache on the king of hearts, then you are wrong.
126.) I thought the female praying mantis bit the males head off after sex, not during.
143.) This is from back when we were hunter gatherers. Men needed to see further so devoloped better eyesight for distance. Women developed better perception of colors because they were in charge of checking which berries were poisonous to eat, same thing for smell.
152.) Debunked on Snopes. How many legs up has nothing to do with how or when that guy died.
161.) No, just no. That is not true at all.
176.) I am pretty sure they say 'Bless You' because you had a moment where you couldn't breathe.
190.) They want to have regulations just in case something as unlikely as aliens coming to Earth happens.
202.) I can swear that there are more. Just found these online: Aerious, Education, Automobile, Evacuation, Authorities, Authentication, Precaution, Multimillionaire, and a few more.
