Facts proved wrong:
1.chrisie_la: you said that "No word in the English language rhymes with month." This is false…millionth, billionth, trillionth, etc.
2.Mary B: you said no two snow flakes are exactly alike, this is false, there is no way they can see every exact snowflake that falls to the earth. This is more of a theory vs. a fact.
3.Pretty_Eyes: you said "pickles don't taste good in icecream" this is an opinion, some people think they do taste good.
4.got force?: you said: " every time a fly lands on something it vomits about 7 times." This is only half true. When a fly lands on you, it does not vomit, it only vomits on its food so it can become softer, before eating it.
5.RedCloud_1998: you said: " RedCloud_1998: you said: "Yea, people are spending too much time on the internet." This is an opinion not a fact.
6.shafi: you said "u suck" this is an opinion, and in my opinion, you suck.

People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don't. Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds have it best - they laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.
Of the 206 bones in the average human adult's body, 106 are in the hands and feet. (54 in the hands and 52 in the feet)
The human brain stops growing at the age of 18.
Blood is red only in the arteries after it has left the heart and is full of oxygen. Blood is a purplish, blue color in the veins as it returns to the heart, thanks to having picked up carbon dioxide and other wastes from the body's cells. In fact, your blood is red throughout only half your body. When cut, of course, the blood always appears red because it is instantly exposed to oxygen outside the body.

Lucifer. Know that name? It means Morning Star. He was the arch-angel of arch-angels; the most beautiful, the most wise, the one closest to God. He experienced the most intimate and deep things of God. He was created to lead the angels in worship, in adoration of God - he knew God intimately.
What did he become? Satan. That is his name today. How did it happen? Did God create him to be evil? Definitely not. He chose to rebel against God. He took pride in his beauty, wisdom and power and wanted to build is own kingdom. He chose to use the awesome gifts and abilities God created him with, to sweep up a third of heaven's angels in rebellion against God.
It lies in choice. Always. Twin brothers grew up in a broken home. Dad was in jail, mom an alcoholic that didn't care. The one brother became successful and happy, the other followed his father's footsteps into the criminal world. Both born and grown in the exact same environment. You know what they replied to an old friend of both, when he asked them what happened? The successful, happy brother said "...those circumstances... I had to get out of it..." the jailed brother said "... I couldn't get out of the circumstances, its just how things went..."
Both these are true stories, both reveal that no matter whether you're in the best or the worst circumstances, its what you do with what you have that determines your destiny. You can miss your purpose by your choices, or you can realize it through your choices.
Your destiny is by choice, your purpose by creation... e.g. a scalpel was created to heal, but it can also be used to kill.

Whadyamacodyas are little imaginary creatures I made up to amuse my daughter. They live in the fridge and it's they who put out the light. They move so fast that we cannot see them, and they're friendly. No-body knows what they look like as no one has ever seen one.
