Hitlers mom almost had an abortion.
I read that during WW1 Hitler himself said that he heard a voice (in his head?) telling him to move left or something and he did and a couple of seconds later the rest of the men he was with were killed by a shell that landed right where he had been standing.
If a shell landed right where he had been standing, moving to the left would not have saved him. Especially since the other men he was with must have been farther away from the shell than him.

Besides, where the hell would someone have heard about that? If Hitler never told anyone that then it can't be true, and if he did say it then it would be widely known as a fact.

And I'm pretty sure Hitler didn't have one testicle. And I never heard the mom almost having an abortion thing, but I suppose it could be true.

And while we're all spouting off facts about Hitler (most of which probably aren't true) I was surprised to find out that Hitler was wounded in either the thigh or groin in World War 1. And that's true.
He chased a dog out of a bunker and a few seconds later a shell hit the bunker with him outside.

you sir, need to study some Biology.

the last two ingredients are inorganic salts, and inorganic proteins, both of which make up less than 1% each of your urine.
Oh... The irony...

There is no such thing as an inorganic protein. And no, if you're a healthy human being, there are no proteins in your urine. They are way too large to leave through the glomeruli.

I learned some local authorities supply addicts with real heroin, instead of methadon.

Those nurses visit their clients carrying a small fortune worth.

I think it was said that on average 200 spiders crawl into your mouth and get eaten while your sleeping in your lifetime.
... I fucking hate you.
Fear not. If I recall correctly, that "fact" is actually made up.
42.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Only dolphins and humans enjoy sex, I have no idea if that is accurate.
If I remember correctly some kinds of chimpanzee does as well.
Bonobos do. There are large numbers of animals that have sex because A) it's fun B)it strengthens social bonds.

Apparently I'm about three decades behind on this one, but a couple of months I was postively astounded to learn that we have quite a few space stations orbiting the earth.

Seriously, I thought space stations were just the stuff of Sci-Fi myth or something. Don't I feel stupid now...
We have more than one?

You don't have to feel stupid anymore, I'll take that from you.

I'd just love to now how the scientists figured this out though, must have been through some damn strange experiments. Also I think rabbits enjoy sex as well, horny little buggers that they are.

Makes you wonder why they even wanted to see which animal enjoys sex in the first place. Maybe they were trapped in a jungle without internet and dvds if you catch my drift.

similarly, apparently if you eat a poppy seed roll you'll fail a drugs test if you take one the next day. although i doubt that one

I don't belive the poppy seed thing is true or so my health teacher says
Poppy seeds are the base ingredient of opium. I imagine neither of you two knew that.
no i know that, it just doesn't seem right that a poppy seed roll contains enough opiates to make you fail a drugs test
