Guilty!! That was great, missblonde. That seriously made my morning. I honestly just now tried to lick my elbow. LOL.
 
I love that website...as well as the show Mythbusters...I like to see them prove stupid myths wrong that people would actually believe..lol.
 
miss blonde, sadly some of these "facts" you've posted are nothing more than myths:

The duck's quack does echo:


The thing about the aliens in your car:


your eyes won’t pop out of your head if you keep them open

The thing about the library sinking:
"An oft-repeated urban legend holds that the library sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building. The IU Bloomington Libraries website even hosts an official page dedicated to debunking this myth, stating, among other things, that the building's foundation rests squarely on a 94 ft (28.6 m) thick limestone bedrock."(wikipedia.com)

Technically, polar bears aren't left or right handed. They don't write at all. They just use any hand to scoop up their fish from out of the ice.

Just thought I'd clear that up.
I did think about licking my elbow though, but decided against it because I immediately realized I'm just not that talented. I wonder though if someone with an extraordinarily long tongue and maybe a creepily short arm could manage this feat.

Anyways, hope my first post on this site doesn't brand me as the girl who debunks the myths and is no fun at all. I'm really just opposed to perpetuating myths and lies..

I NEVER post these types...my friends always send them too me - even on my cell phone - and I absolutely can't stand them..one of my pet peeves...my sister is a big culprit of these - the one time I wrote her back and said these are all bullshit..and her response was "I know, but I get nervous - they might really be true!" Gimme a freakin break!
 
I spent two minutes trying to lick my elbow. I also tried to make typewritter a longer word.

Then at the end of the tread I tried licking my elbow again. That was too funny.


BTW, the whole eyes popping out when you sneeze is a myth. Mythbusters tried to do it and learned it's impossibe to keep your eyes open when you sneeze.
