Did you know that Eels are dark because they tan too much. How I know this trivial why a little fava bean told me that.

Did you know if a white guy is born in Africa and comes over to America, nearly everyone would think of him as an American and not African-American? However, if a black guy is born in America, he's still considered an African-American and not an American. Why is this?

Because we have to be politically correct now. I can't say "that black guy" I have to say "that African-American guy". Just kinda became the new racial term for black people in America.

OT-In Illinois it is illegal to fish while riding on a giraffe's neck.

The joke is even better when you hear a black person in France being called African-American.

An Indian guy in my class (In England) got called African-American by an American kid. Yeah.

OT: Despite the well known wife's tale, basically the LEAST amount of heat from the body is lost through the head and having uncovered arms or legs is much worse.

That is... unless you're bald. Uncovered buttocks (yes, yes, I know, no need to point out the idiocy of it) results in greatest heat loss from the body.

no they weren't, they were made in the UK and called Digestive Biscuits because they claimed they helped aid digestion. there was no evidence of this so, in the USA, they could not be called Digestives for legal reasons so were given the name Graham Cracker instead

Read this! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Cracker

It should enlighten you. Mostly because they were invented by Rev. Sylvester Graham who said it would help suppress unnatural carnal urges by eating bland foods. Hence, he invented Graham Crackers.

The Queen has a mobile phone, and an ipod (meaning that President Obama's gift of a newer iPod model was not a gaffe, but rather a good choice)

THQ presented her with a gold-plated Wii, which she plays frequently.

She's known for being a good impersonator, and is known for entertaining her family by aping various Prime Ministers she has served with over the years.

Prince Philip hates horse racing, but he often has to attend with the Queen. The solution? He hides a radio under his hat, so he can listen to the cricket.

(In case you haven't noticed, I'm in a royal mood today)

That is actually a total lie, it's just that the words you used are so easy to read that you're basically anticipating them before you read them.

Black people are not black. They're brown. Sometimes dark brown.

White people are not white. They're pigmented. Sometimes tan.

Albino's are the closest thing to white. However, they're not called white.

Did you know if a white guy is born in Africa and comes over to America, nearly everyone would think of him as an American and not African-American? However, if a black guy is born in America, he's still considered an African-American and not an American. Why is this?

We have a family friend that moved to America from Africa with her family. They are all born and raised in Africa and white. When they came over here they had to fill out forms and such for duel citizenship. She filled in the bubble saying she was "African" or "African-American" whichever it was. They asked her to change her answer to European. She asked why, and they said that she couldn't put that answer because it was meant for 'people of dark skin'. -_-;

Since you were born, every molecule in your body has been replaced.
You technically have a different body now from when you were born.

Better than that, your body is never more than seven years old. In seven years from NOW you will have a whole new body Too bad the cells are replaced with worse ones, making you age.

The painting of god and Adam in the sisteen chapel shows a red cape behind god. The cape is meant to resemble a brain. Autopsies were illegal at the time of painting and this was Michelangelo sticking it to the man.

OT; Count Dracula did, as a matter of fact, exist. But he was no vampire, although he was a blood-thirsty monster. He was a warlord, who had a tendency of spiking the decapitated heads of his enemies on the sharp end of the fences around his castle perimeter.

50 Cent got shot years ago and still bitches about it on stage.

US President Roosevelt was shot during a speech and didn?t stop speaking or see a doctor until he had finished declaring ?Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.?

I would vote for that man!

Wasn't that Vlad the Impaler or something?

OT: Fun fact? Erm lets see if I can remember one... It's physically impossible for you to lick your hand and slap your face at the same time? no no wait... Ah if a bear is chasing you up a hill immediately turn around and run down it, the bear will take time to turn around and will trip whilst running down. And there's a river/lake that is home to a fish that detects urine and if you happen to pee in the river/lake the fish will swim through the urine towards your genitals and lodge themselves inside with their spines. Saw it on the discovery channel once and its apparently painful as hell is really hard to get it out.
