McDonald's is the largest toy manufacturer in the world.

I'm fairly sure Macdonald's doesn't manufacture toys.

OT: That "people eat an average of eight spiders in their sleep" fact is bullshit.

EDIT: Damn! Ninja'd!

Cat piss glows under a black light.

Slugs have 4 noses.
The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
All polar bears are left handed.
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

i think the gattling gun was invented by a dentist also, strange that.

Since were talking about weird dentist facts my friend told me that out of all professions dentists have the highest suicide rate since they don't like causing pain to people.

The smallest nation in the world is the principality of sealand...an abandoned naval base off the coast of England described as a micro-nation inhabited by one man and his immediate family.

They have there own currency, passports and national anthem and the whole thing is 550m squared.

I heard somewhere that they also went to war against Brittan at one time. But then again, who hasn't?

Tomatos are fruit and Ducks have the longest penises evAr making them the alpha-males among all males... weird.

Doesn't the longest penis to body ratio belong to the barnacle?

Yes, actually the barnacle does have the longest. I took a half-assed zoology class in middle school, and for some reason the teacher made us watch a documentary on animal re-production. But In reality, it was basically porn for zoo animals. I got to see a barnacle penis..."in action"...

I saw so many many disturbing things. So...disturbing...

Hippos kill more people than any other animal.

I'd argue that mosquitos (only females btw) have killed more humans than any other animal in history through malaria and other blood bourne diseases.

Betty Boop is the origin of anime.

O_O Seriously? I don't know much about the history of anime so I can't really dispute or agree with this, but if it is true then I will never look at anime the same again

Yep, Betty Boop's big eyes were the source of inspiration for Astro Boy. The first anime.

Yeah and Astro Boy got his oil anally injected.

No piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half

mythbusters disproved this by folding a square piece of paper the size of an airport hanger in half 10 or 11 times

99% of all matter is actually empty space.

...that makes no sense at all. empty space is by definition an area lacking matter.
i think what you mean is 99% of all matter is believed to be dark matter, or matter that we have no means of detecting besides through gravitational pull.

The human body creates and kills over 15 million red blood cells every second.

There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos.

In Tokyo, a bicycle is faster than a car for most trips of less than 50 minutes.

That's how crowded it is in Japan.

In New York the average speed of a bike is around 12 Km/h whereas a car is around 6 Km/h!

Also, no one has ever observed a crocodile (I know its misspelled) dieing, therefore leading us to think they could possibly not die of old age!

Lobsters don't age either

According to doctor house scallops have the biggest penis to body ratio.

Edit: Never mind I meant barnacles and somebody already said it.

I read somewhere that the pigeon, also known as the rock dove, is the only bird that could survive on the space station as it is the only bird with muscles in its throat that would allow it to swallow water.

Close, Zebra Finches are also capable of drinking water in this method, used for drinking dew off of leaves.
