I've got to disagree with the "truth" to one.

2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button.

It might have seemed "invisible" but unless he was born in some sort of test tube he'd have a belly button of some sort because of the embilical cord was attached at one point and thats what causes you to have a belly button later on Wink

Whats wrong with eating a spider?

Belly buttons? Spiders? I'm more concerned about Apples waking you up faster then coffee...I rather doubt it, unless you are refering to the noise that an apple eater makes...He better hope that I have had my morning coffee if he wants to live to the third bite....!!!

I'm not sure if we should be feeling sorry for those 40,000 Americans injured by toilets either. Shocked

Sorta reminds me of the old joke about Ma and Pa.

Ma says to Pa "Pa, come have a look at the inside of the toilet...there's somethin' broke on it"

Pa, looks inside and says "I can't see anything wrong"

Ma says "Stick you head in a bit further"

Pa does so and says "I still can't see anything wrong"

Ma says, "Stick it in a little further fer goodness sake"

Pa does so, pulls his head out and yelps "OUCH..AW Hell" as he catches his beard in a split in the seat. wtf

Ma says "See, hurts, don't it" "Can you fix it for me" Shocked

Cheers, Vince
