"Your supposed 2 peel bananas from the bottom and not where you normally peel it why? "
It's actually easier. The "usual" way is the strongest part as it's the stem and sometimes can be a pain to open. All you have to do is pinch the other side and the skin peels with no fuss.
Try it!  |

"You can eat eight spiders in your sleep in a lifetime 
Her"
Sorry, this one isn't true. It was started by a journalist as an experiment to see how fast it would spread. In the same vein as the Sydney University rubbish some people are putting atthe end of their profile... |

If your woman is allergic to nuts it is possible for a man to poison her by eating brazil nuts and then having sex with her. The nut allagy from a brazil nut can be passed on to his partner via sperm. Think I spend to much time watching QI lol. |

"When buying a suit off the peg, jacket and trouser sizes are six inches apart. "
Not true. I work in suiting and MOST jackets/trousers have a six inch drop, for sure. There are a few brands that have a 7 inch drop, though. |

Ok don't quote me.. Dolphins are the only other mammals to, have sex for pleasure.
Giraffes are often thought to be bi-sexual, although some say its because their necks won't allow them to, have a butchers what's down there so they just take a chance ...pot luck. |

"a crane fly/daddy long legs has one of the most poisonous venom but it has no way of injecting it into you."
Again, not true. Crane flies aren't venomous at all. Neither are the "other" Daddy Longlegs (the spiders, often called "the Harvestman". There's also a third Daddy Longlegs, another spider, that has short fangs, but works in the same way a brown recluse spider does, which has short fangs, but has been known to bite, and penetrate, human flesh. But there have been no valid studies into it. Someone got bitten by one on Mythbusters once, waaaay back (where this knowledge is coming from) and he said it simply hurt for a little bit.
So you don't need to worry about any three of them, in any way! |

"Dogs can't look up
Yes they can
They certainly can, mine looks up to me, especially as he's regularly walked, played out and fed.
I believe it's pigs that can't look up x

A sad sign of the times. It used to be, MANY years ago that a tailor would expect an average fit young man to have a 10 inch diff. I have a 33 waist and a 44 chest. |

Have you never heard of bonobos? They wank, fellate and perform cunnilingus. Male and female.They would give us a run for our money. |

I'm still trying to work out what brand had the seven inch difference because I used to work in suiting when I first saw the difference.
Oh well, you learn a new thing everyday! |

If you ever watch a monkey eat a banana it will hold it with one hand and use its mouth to peel the skin away from the end of the banana that we class as the "wrong end". I do it myself all the time. Perhaps im a monkey !

Contrary to popular belief, when you say something like 'you're such a pussy' you are not calling them a vagina, it actually comes from the word pusillanimous which means shy or timid |
