"It is legal for s Scotsman to kill an Englishman by bow and arrow in York"
It's actually the other way around. You can kill a Scotsman in York apart from on Sunday's and they too must be carrying a bow and arrow. |

In France in the 1500s, wives could charge their husbands with impotence. He would have to become erect and show he could ejaculate in a courtroom. If he failed, he could demand a trial by congress and attempt to have sex with his wife before them. (As in, in front of them - not that they all tried afterwards!)  |

A cockroach can live for about a month with no head. This is because they breathe through something called spiracles that are found in each body segment. Their brains do not control breathing, therefore, the can keep breathing without a head and a brain |

Kamikaze pilots in Japan in ww2 started through not having any oil left... They simply didn't have enough fuel for return journeys.

A pistol shrimps strike is so fast it causes an exothermic reaction in the water around it and boils the water instantly.
North american mountain goats butt heads so hard that sometimes their hooves fall off.
Second ones not true, but i wish it was |

"It's impossible to lick your own elbow
I have photographic evidence that it's not, care of a grandchild with a freakishly long tongue and it's the best party trick I've ever seen. "
Also, if you detached your arm in an accident, you could lick it's entire length easily. Probably wouldn't be the first thing that came to mind though.  |

See that's one of those urban myths. It would plainly break any number of laws that have superseded any ancient right that may have once existed. |

"By saying his nose would grow, Pinochio created a paradox...."
I don't think Pinocchio actually said that, wouldn't make sense would it.
Also, if he actually did say that - you are referring to the liar paradox- his nose wouldn't grow at that statement and so no paradox |

"My fact - A black hole doesn't actually have another side. It is just matter condensed into a small fixed point.
Evidence please...not theory "
There is evidence. Light cant travel out through it and we know from the light distortion around black holes that this is the case.
Take a look at wikipedia, or even better watch BBC's The Planets |

"in Singapore, men with long hair used to be discriminated against. I remember Cliff Richard was denied entry because his hair was long (1972)."
Or maybe they knew he was a nonce and used his hair as an excuse not to let him in. |

Few sexy true fun facts
Semen is good for your teeth, it contains Zinc and Calcium which fights tooth decay
There is roughly 1000 recognised euphenisums for 'vagina' in the English language lol
The longer a mans "ring" finger is compared to his index finger the more testosterone he has
The soft tissue that make up the walls of the vagina is the same texture as the inside of your cheeks, thats why oral feels so good for a guy cause its the closest thing that mimics intercourse
Heres some tip facts as well
stroke a guys inner thighs during oral, as the area is close to his package it will increase blood flow heighting the sensation
The top of the breasts are more sensitive than the bottom of the breasts...
also all breasts have the same amount of nerve endings, women with larger boobs spread the nerves further apart than women with smaller boobs which have the nerves closer together which means smaller boobs more sensitive than larger ones
Hope you like these facts |

Infamous Texan preacher, Jed 'Hell-fire' McGrath, unexpectedly burst into flames during one of his 'Hell-fire and Damnation' tours of Utah in 1974. Despite claims of divine censorship from his many critics within the hippy 'Free Love' community the reason for his spontaneus human combustion was finally traced to three unfortunate factors: cheap aftershave, a polyester suit and an electrical fault on his microphone.
