Cockroaches can survive being in a microwave oven up to 30 minutes, or at least the ones that lived in my college dorm could. And 30 minutes was the longest setting the lounge 'wave had.

and for weeks the entire dorm was mysteriously ill every time they made hot pockets. No one could figure out why.

It's physically impossible for pigs to look up at the sky.
So that's why they don't fly. They don't know the sky is there!

I talked to a bunch of guys at work and my father. This includes a great many hunters and people who raise animals for pets and meat.
Not a single one of them knew that most mammals have bones in their dicks.
Relax!

I am a vast storehouse of mostly useless knowledge. It's hard for me to guage what's common knowledge and what's not. I thought that was common knowledge, but then again I could be mistaken.

Of course most hunters don't know. What self respectin' huntin' man would eat a raccoon's winky to know if it had a bone in it?

Three times in one week! I'm starting to realise I'd have a very short lifespan as a dungeon-crawling hero.
More Did-You-Knows:
-Originally, Slavic languages were aplenty with vowels. But an organized joint-venture between Polynesian and Dutch vowel-thieves reduced them to their current almost consonant-exclusive style (the guy to whom I take my boats when they need fixing on the hull is called Mijail Hrdk).
-Jelly is actually extraterrestrial.
-When no one is watching them, Hereford Cows debate british literature.
-Contrary to popular belief, shopping malls are not built, but instead grow out from spores released by adult shopping malls.

The Amazon rainforest produces half the world's oxygen supply.
Since 70%-80% is produced by marine organisms, your "fact" cannot possibly be correct. Unless you meant "half the oxygen supply generated on land." (Don't forget that the taiga running about 60 deg. N latitude generates a lot as well, although less than the tropical forests because of seasonal dormancy.)
Only four U.S. presidents have ever had first names starting with the letter "J."
Dude. Polk.
And Monroe, JQA, Tyler, Buchanan, Carter...
'Bookkeeper' and 'bookkeeping' are the only 2 words in the English language with three consecutive double letters.
"Subbookkeeper" has four!
Woolloomooloo is a harbourside, inner-city eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.And compound words like hoof-footed and feed-door are easy to get 3 consecutive sets in.
Venetian blinds were invented in Japan.
Venetian blinds may have originated in Persia, not the canal city of Venice, Italy. Or, they may date all the way back to ancient Egypt.
W.C. Fields never said "A man who hates children can't be all bad." It was said about him at a roast.
His gravestone doesn't read "At least I'm not in Philadephia," either. :(
This is why the internet sucks.
I love the Yogi Berra quote, "I never said most of the things I said."
Twain is another magnet for random quotes that people don't know the actual originators of.

For a second, I read that as "A man who eats children can't be all bad." And thought of THIS.
P.S. This is one reason why the internet is pure awesome.P.P.S. That guy in the linked picture looks exactly like me. Except I'd never wear a pink jacket like that.
And Churchill

Amen. George Bernard Shaw gets a bunch of them, too.
Dude, you're not fugly.
The awesome story about Voltaire telling the priest that he wouldn't renounce Satan "because now is not the time to be making enemies" is also not true. :(
He did say, "Let me die in peace," though.
And Churchill
Woah, woah, woah.
What didn't Churchill say?

I always heard it was an old Irishman, but either way, the awesomeness of that story is unabated.

The tombstone of Swedish poet and writer Fritiof Nilsson "Piraten" reads (in translation): "Here rests the ashes of a man in the habit of postponing everything until tomorrow. He bettered himself during his last days and really did pass away on 31 January 1972."

I'd heard that one was Shaw.
What's the real answer?

I take it all back. The internet is cool after all.
"Never trust quotes you find on the internet." -GhandiI love the Yogi Berra quote, "I never said most of the things I said."

I'd always heard that attributed to Abraham Lincoln.
Huh.
My favorite fake quote story.
So... what was the quote?
My favorite fake quote story.So... what was the quote?
"One could say my life itself has been one long soundtrack," Fitzgerald's fake Jarre quote read. "Music was my life, music brought me to life, and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz playing in my head that only I can hear."
I could not find that anywhere in there. Read it four times. Huh.
