10. Green is the answer you are looking for, but its not correct. Read on: Contrary to what some believe about the orginal color being green this tidbit of knowledge has been widely distributed as part of an Internet "Did You Know?" list, at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green. The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product.

11. 4 sets - Mosquitoes have four knife-like tools of serrated teeth that surround a pair of fine tubes — one for dripping a pain suppressor and one for sucking blood. A common house mosquito (Culex sp.) stabs the skin with her sharp snout and saws in with her four knife tools to draw blood. She shoots in saliva laced with anesthetic (to escape notice) and an anticoagulant (to keep blood flowing). Then she sucks blood.

18. Five pairs of facial muscles have a particular role in laughing and smiling. However, it is likely that about 53 facial muscles play at least some part in these expressions, particularly when the expression is exaggerated, and other groups of muscles such as the muscles of mastication and respiration. The neck muscles will also be involved. Furthermore, there are some facial muscles that have a complicated arrangement, and not everyone agrees on whether they should be labelled collectively or individually. Also, there are some muscles that are present only in some people (eg: transversus nuchae, malaris), which further complicates the answer to this question.

18) I bet you any amount of money you don't know the answer to this question. But if you do then you'll also be able to tell me what constitutes as a smile and a frown, and are we taking other facial muscles into account, like ones around the eyebrows and the forehead. Lok it up on Snopes.com. I doubt anyone really knows. But it isn't 17 smiling/43 frowning. There aren't that many muscles in the face.
