Signs such as those that state “Not Responsible for Your Car or Its Contents” carry no weight in court; they are posted simply to discourage people from pursuing any legal action.

"common house spiders have one of the most lethal venoms in the world but their fangs can't penetrate human skin"
This has been debunked many times in different TV shows including mythbusters.
If you want another factoid to replace it with:
St John's Wood is the only station on the London Underground which shares no letters with the word Mackerel |

Motown records released 11 singles by the Supremes before any of them managed to be a hit
(THAT wouldn't happen in modern music business)
Reflections was the last single Mary Wilson n Cindy Birdsong sang on - all subsequent singles where backed by Motown in house backing group the Andantes
The Supremes racked up 12 American number ones - still a record for a female group
Diana Ross's grand total number 1's stands at 21 |

"Turtles often bury their eggs in alligator nests. The mother alligator guards her nest so well it ensures the safety of the unborn turtles as well.
"
Surely that must be tortoises as alligators live in freshwater and turtles live in salt water...
But I could be wrong...  |

Both canvas and wood survived the explosion without damage. |
