People, I can't guarantee that this info is actually true! I just copied and pasted it because I thought it was funny!
2007-08-21 22:37:13 · update #2
i find these statements strange and funny. however not all of them are true.
to give you some examples :
1 cannot be true for we would all be sick now.we are mostly addicted to this madly sweet substance called choc.
10 cannot be proved because it depends on the producer of the gas, is he an eater of onions and garlic, brocolli, or mostlt salad and fruit like hollywood stars ?
11 the word 'assasination ' wasnt invented by shakespeare. it is derived from the arabic word , hhashasheen . they were a group of men used by one of mulouk al tawa'ef who gave them hhasheesh and ordered them to kill his enemies while they werent conscious of their deeds. the word entered the english dictionary and was changed into ' hhashasheen .' this shows us the effects of drugs on thse who take them and also shows how some english words are derived from arabic, esp hhashasheen .

moonrise : assassination is from the word hashasheen yes but they weren't taking any drugs , they weren't from molok el tawa2ef , it's a bad twist of the word assasyeen meen those who behold the asas [ the base ] which is the quran and suna , and their leader was hasan el sabah who lived in alamot castle

They sure are strange, funny and interesting. I love chocolates, please tell me you just made this one up, I don't care about the rest if they are true, just the first one.
Farah, I really like this girl's cute face on your avatar, do you know her personally? Her cheeks are so pinchable, lol. Makes me feel like pinching them while singing the cuppy cake song.
