| I just started thinking about fun little facts that might be interesting for you guys to read. Everyday someone can post as many funs facts as they want and we can all discuss. Just something you guys might want to read if you're bored. 1. A pack-a-day smoker will lose approximately 2 teeth every 10 yrs. 2. When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop ... even your heart! 3. Your feet are bigger in the afternoon than the rest of the day. | |

| Don't get me started...OH FUCK IT LETS GO!
1) America declared independence on the SECOND of July, not the Fourth! (1773) 2) The signing of the declaration of independence wasn't completed till August 1781 3) The reason Pennsylvania's "tip" seems to jump up to lake Eerie is that they demanded access to the lake because they where afraid if the surrounding states cut off their trade routes then Pennsylvania would be at a major loss. | |
