Honest to gosh facts

No wife has ever shot her husband while he is washing their dishes.

Feel free to input one of your own. There's a certain funny one I read the other day that I would like someone to post. :wink:

[Hammered]

No wife has ever shot her husband while he is washing their dishes. :wink:
Not certain there is any evidence to support that either way; it presupposes that a husband has actually washed said dishes. :roll:

[Blackexe]

I've got a better one:

Facts that sound true but actually aren't:

Make up was originally worn for warmth

There is a tribe in south america where they never cut the umbilical cord

The washing machine was invented by accident

and

there is a man in idaho who is allergic to smooth jazz

[ducklegion]

No one has ever ran into a biulding by mistake...9 times...

Ducklegion has run into a biulding by accident 5 times (This wasnt the accident i was in :P)

Stop The Presses! Hot Off the Wire and Just In:

An inventor in Idaho was accidently shot today by his wife while trying to invent a soapy cleaning machine for his guns.

He said that he was distracted by a warm tingly sensation while staring at his beautifully made up wife as she danced to some jazz. The invention grabbed his arm and pulled him into a large round swirling barrel. There was not as yet a stop button so the wife grabbed one of his guns and shot the machine. The grazing wound stopped the machine and he was able to get out though covered in slippery soap bubbles and blundering into the walls many times.

He developed a severe rash but is now fine after calling his mother in South America to ask what he should do for his rash.

When asked what he thought of his adventure, he said "I think I'll put the guns away and make the invention clean clothes instead."

Putting mentos (those little mint thingies) in diet coca-cola will make the soda fizz and explode out of the bottle. If you don't believe me then go here:

Pigs can't look directly up in the sky.
Horses can't vomit.

Evil Eye, Because there is so much dang spam in total mayhem, so it's almost impossible to find REAL topics.

[Hammered]

I stickied the topics that normal people might want to see so they wouldn't get lost in the spam. I even created a post that says so, but it's buried down there in the spam somewhere.

[evil eye]

smart!

[munkee]

I agree with you Hammered, Total Mayhem is turning into one huge pile of no-good-to-the-rest-us spam! Jamul should make a special area JUST for spam.BTW: How did this spam get started anyway?

[evil eye]

[name deleted]

[Hammered]

It has always been permitted, but it really only amuses a few people who every so often whip themselves into a frenzy just to annoy the rest of us.

I thought toal mayhem WAS this "Special area just for spam."

[evil eye]

spam is not permitted in Total Mayhem. meaningless posts are permitted in Total Mayhem

[AtkinsSJ]

Yeah. In a way, TM is being taken-over by meaningful stuff, which should be in General Blabber.

[Mr.Onion]

EDIT: A quote from the above link:
If a cat always lands on its feet and buttered bread always lands butter side down, what would happen if you tied buttered bread on top of a cat? :lol:

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

Well, it would depend on which physical force is stronger, the butteravity splattertension force, or the electromagnetic feline force. Perhaps the forces would be pitted against each other to produce a reality paradox and destroy the universe...

This reminds me of cockeyed.com: how much is inside? (http://www.cockeyed.com/inside/howmuchinside.html)

Also, I just looked at that Brainiac Wikipedia article and I am going to make it my personal mission to answer EVERY SINGLE ONE of those confounded tickle's teasers questions! More coming soon.

EDIT: I have answered the questions. See this topic (http://hamumu.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6951) to see what a genius I am at answering questions.

[regeneratorizer]

Did you know: If you are in a spaceship right outside a black hole(Far enough away to avoid being pulled in by the gravity) And you pushed your friend into the black hole, when they reach the point where the gravity sucks in light to, you will see them falling forever(Staying in place, it looks like to you.). Its an optical illusion. What your seeing is your friend, right before he entered the point of no return for light. You can stay there for days, and it still looks like he is staying still in space. Unfortunatly, your friend was crushed by the gravity a few seconds after he entered the light-capturing gravity.

[Hammered]

Did you know:
If you are in the habit of pushing your friends into black holes, other people will cease to want to associate with you?

Did you know:
that logic has no meaning anymore? 2 + 2 can equal 2 now for all it matters. :)

[evil eye]

Spaghettifacation is the process of being streched through a black hole. you become weak and your limbs are ridicoulisy long. you become faded and orange due to lack of light in your body

here is an honest to gosh fact

Did you know tha Spam backwards is maps and together they are Spammaps?

[lilbit]

By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand.

And please let someone know if you are going to try this. They would probably like to have a camera along.

Old phrase: There's nothing so holy that you couldn't laugh at it.

Few facts:
Porcupines float.

First product with a bar code was Wrigley's chewing gum.

A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off... until it starves to death.

[blackmyth]

I gotta find a porcupine.

[evil eye]

speaking of roaches me and my friend stuffed one into a jar of water and it started having a seizure and it looked like it was getting zapped by lightning =P

[blackmyth]

How cruel.

[evil eye]

quite a cruel and unusal punishment

[lilbit]

Nah, not cruel. I've seen drunk people act like that when they're being arrested by cops. :shock:

PS Did you know cockroaches were here before us and will probably be here after us. Odds are good that they will survive nuclear attacks.

[MadBob006]

Did you know that the Greek philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter while watching a drunken mule eat a fig? :? There was also a chicken that lived for a year and a half without a head. :shock:

[pizza]

There was also a chicken that lived for a year and a half without a head. :shock:Yeah, but then it choked.

[lilbit]

Wow the chicken thing is fantastic! A chicken that didn't eat for a year and a half.

[pizza]

Actually it did.
Mike was fed a mixture of ground up grain and water with your typical eyedropper.

[lilbit]

You know, that story has been going around for sixty or so yrs. I've read it many times on the internet. I will concede that a chicken with a partial brain stem lived for a short while, maybe even a month while the farmer tried to feed it. And If you say scientists saw or examined it, I'll believe they did, then I will respond that some scientists also believed (scientifically) there were fairies.

A chicken living a yr and a half is where I choke up, like the chicken. That was in the forties so science had a long way to go and there were and still are plenty of people willing to believe.

There's also the small matter of the blood loss. Oh wait, the farmer bandaged it, didn't he? I read that some where. *choke again * There is some site on the net that even shows pics of the skeleton, minus head of course.

Many strange things have happened so I won't say it's not true. I'll say...
If, today, they can duplicate the complete sequence in public view and knowledge, then I'll believe it. But not right now.

My sister owns a chicken farm in Arkansas and has for twenty or so years. Not once did a chicken live more than a minute or so with it's head cut off. I've seen them run around and then flop down. Gruesome! Mostly it was dead a lot faster than that.

So no, not today, will I believe that.

But that's ok because this topic is only for fun and the quirky or strange should be mentioned. I think it is fun to read these posts. I just won't believe everything I read.

Edit:I do believe that a sea of water parted for a short time so that people could walk across and then it closed back up. I believe a man rose from the dead. Maybe that headless rooster is more believable to many. Everyone has beliefs. Not all agree all the time nor any believe some of the time. Each to their own.

[pizza]

Post mortem, it was determined that the axe blade had missed the jugular vein and a clot had prevented Mike from bleeding to death. Although most of his head was severed, most of his brain stem and one ear was left on his body. Since basic functions (breathing, heart-rate, etc) as well as most of a chicken's reflex actions are controlled by the brain stem, Mike was able to remain quite healthy.
And its death was just an accident. I believe... I mean I know this story is true. It's stupid but it's true.
