“The names of the continents all end with the same letter with which they start.” is wrong. sorry. North America and South America are the odd balls.
April 18th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
America is the continent- North, South, and Central only apply to the locations of states/countries within the continent of America. It is true. Nice try though.
April 18th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
@Kevin:
The seven continents are:
North America
South America
Asia
Africa
Europe
Australia
Antarctica
You probably should have paid more attention in 1st grade geography. A picture of the tectonic plates makes it abundantly clear that North and South America are not the same continent:

Nice try, indeed.

65 surprise any of us?)
is pretty lame. Good list though, overall.

It has been rumored for years and reported in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not that Marilyn Monroe had 6 toes on her left foot, but this was never the case. The rumor started after a photo shoot in 1946 on a beach in California where a clump of sand made it appear she had an extra toe, however numerous photos taken years earlier and after prove that she had and always had just 10 toes.
http://marilynmonroepages.com/6toes.html
April 18th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
I’m looking at a Canadian Two Dollar bill, it’s definately the Canadian Flag, unless the American flag now has a Maple Leaf in the middle of it.
April 18th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
Marilyn Monroe did not have six toes.
http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/mmtoes.htm
April 18th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Half these are inaccurate.
“There is a persistent myth that that all the clocks in the movie are set to 4:20 (although, certainly all the clocks on the wall in the pawn shop are set to 4:20). However, in at least two scenes it is obvious that this is not the case. In the “Bonnie Situation” while Jimmy, Vince and Jules are drinking coffee in the kitchen, the clock clearly reads 8:15. Secondly, when Vince and Jules go to retrieve the briefcase, it is “7:22 in the a.m.”.”

I’m pretty sure “Go.” is shorter than “I am.”

There are several different models under which continents are defined. In most US schools we are taught the 7 continent model which includes a North/South American divide, however the science community has favored the 6 continent model for a number of decades…

April 18th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
what a horrible list… Most facts are wholly incorrect. The formatting is totally off as well!
April 18th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
“Most golf balls on sale today have about 300 - 450 dimples. There were a few balls having over 500 dimples before. The record holder was a ball with 1,070 dimples — 414 larger ones (in four different sizes) and 656 pinhead-sized ones. All brands of balls, except one, have even-numbered dimples. The only odd-numbered ball on market is a ball with 333 dimples.
Officially sanctioned balls are designed to be as symmetrical as possible. This symmetry is the result of a dispute that stemmed from the Polara, a ball sold in the late 1970s that had six rows of normal dimples on its equator but very shallow dimples elsewhere. This asymmetrical design helped the ball self-adjust its spin-axis during the flight. The USGA refused to sanction it for tournament play and, in 1981, changed the rules to ban aerodynamic asymmetrical balls. Polara’s producer sued the USGA and the association paid US$1.375 million in a 1985 out-of-court settlement.” Nothing about dimples (check USGA yourself…)

Why is this being dug? are people really that stupid? almost none of this is true. hell i could say pig poop is used in dynomite. does that mean your going to look it up to make sure its true?
April 18th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
#14 is incorrect. There are 26 states on that side of the Lincoln Memorial.
April 18th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Those of us in Kansas would disagree with #17: Maine is the only state whose name is just one syllable.
I second the “Why is this Dugg?” question.
April 18th, 2007 at 4:50 pm
Actually, regarding the continents thing, people are taught differently in different parts of the world. Most people in South America are taught that North and South form one continent (and they do touch, so they’re not on shaky ground there). Same with most people in Europe. Overall, I’m fairly certain more people learn that North and South form only one continent. You can also see this in the olympic flag, which has only five rings, for the five inhabited continents.

As usual, unfortunately, there is no 100% consencus on this. Some countries consider America as one continent and others consider Euroasia as one continent, besides in this point here it also realy depends on the language… in Portuguese Europe is Europa.

There are 56 “facts”. Most of them you would have seen in a chain mail 6 years ago…
April 18th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
@Eric B
number of continents depends where you went
to school and whether you had geography in
the 1st grade or not:) the number varies
from 4 to 7, the most common being 5 and 7
so in case if there is 5 continents then
the fact is true.
Also donkey fact I think is urban legend:)
April 18th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
The shortest complete sentence in the English language is actually “Go.”.
April 18th, 2007 at 4:56 pm
I would check some facts on #9.
The flag is, in fact, the Canadian Ensign, the patch in the upper left is the Union Jack, and the stripe effect is caused by shading and scaling. If you look carefully, you can see a crest in the bottom right of the flag.
April 18th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Another good one:
#55. & a size of 108.7 acres.
Fact? Maybe. Useless? Yes.

59. The average chocolate bar has 8 insects’ legs in it.
Is 58 really a member of this list?

Eric B is right. About the dick part, I guess it depends on personal preference: Smart dick or polite dumbass?
April 18th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
The dragonfly one isn’t real. They live for days. I think they meant to say mayflies as they are not born with mouth parts to eat. Dragonflies do have mouth parts and sun themselves in the morning to warm up like other insects.

April 18th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Actually, it depends on where you are from and what “convention and model” you use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent
Sometimes North and South America is just deemed one American Continent. The Panama Canal doesn’t constitute a disconnection of the two; they are connected.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
“I am.” this contains both a noun and a verb, making it a complete sentence. “Go” does not
April 18th, 2007 at 5:19 pm
Mythbusters proved the the goldfish’s memory is longer than 3 seconds
April 18th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
True; however, Europe and Asia aren’t separated by any ocean or sea, and as such by your logic, should be considered a single continent, Eurasia, which still breaks that ‘fact.’ Furthermore, to use your wikipedia article, 2/3 of the common continent numbering systems do not meet that fact, making it a stretch to put it on the list
April 18th, 2007 at 5:28 pm
It was the Five dollar bill and the flag is The Canadian Red Ensign. See:

some of you need a lesson in rhyming.
neither cunt, stunt, millionth, or front rhyme with month.

Max,
Australia is definately a continent. Oceania is a region often referred to for convenience, but even in the wiki, every “standard” calls the continent Australia.
Australia is simultaneously the largest island and the smallest continent in the world.

Do commands like Go count as sentances on their own? I don’t think they do.
Useless fact: No modern language has a true concept of “I am.” It is always used linked with are in reference of another verb.

“Burble” rhymes with purple. Furthermore, the Anhinga is a very strong-swimming, flightless tropical bird: there are also, on the Galapagos islands, flightless cormorants that are strong swimmers — penguins are NOT the only “flightless birds that…also swim”. And if 23% of all copier problems are caused by people Xeroxing their hienies, I’d like to know exactly when this takes place, so I can call in sick to work during those times…

“quiver rhymes with silver”
Last I checked, it doesn’t. And no, ‘month’ does not rhyme with ‘front.’ That is a fact.
“”Go.”
Does infact have a subject and a verb. Used as a command, the subject of “you†would be implied. Much like, “Run†or “Leaveâ€.”
No. “Go.” does not have a subject. “You” is not written in that sentence, so therefore, isn’t there. It’s common sense. Or at least that’s what I grew up calling it…
July 13th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
And no, ‘burble’ does not rhyme with ‘purple.’ Purple ends with ‘ple’, while ‘burble’ ends in ‘ble.’
And yes, Australia is the largest island on the face of the planet, but the smallest continent.
July 17th, 2007 at 1:20 pm
“Go.” does, in fact, have a subject. Just because the ‘You’ is not written does not mean anything. I’m sure most people would consider ‘I am.’ a fragment anyway.
Socks rhymes with Fox doesn’t it? By that same logic you can rhyme words that do not end exactly the same, but sound the same.

“I am.†is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
untrue
“go” is the shortest sentence in the English language, because it has a verb and an implied subject, you, which is still grammatically correct.

do half the people on here like to just come on here and repeat something that someone else has said already? Oh, and by the way, my cousin proved the one about the seagull and Alka-Seltzer to be true…it works with rice and water too, that is why most states have banned the throwing of rice at weddings, except inside the buikdings.

“Go” is not a complete sentence.
A complete sentence consists of a subject and a verb.
“go” is only a verb, therefor it is not a sentence!
“i” is the subject, “am” is the verb.
dumbasses.

#7 Hate to tell you that there are more than 4 words that end in “ous” Not only tremendous, horrendous, stupendous and hazaradess, but what about MARVELOUS? Think about it.

First grade geography taught me there are five continents: America, Eurasia, Antartica, Africa and Oceania. I once had a bet with an Aussie friend that his dear Australia wasn’t a country. We eventually had to agree to buy each other a beer.

“Month rhymes with cunt, stunt etc”
Those are “slant rhymes” brutha… they don’t count.
December 7th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
month does not rhyme with c*nt. and the use on off that word offends more women than any other word in the world

Sliver rhymes with silver.
It means to cut food in small strips.
January 18th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Deborah Meister, if you read statement #18 (not #7) CORRECTLY instead of QUICKLY you will see that it reads only four words in the English language end in -DOUS therefore marveLOUS does not count!
January 29th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Implied ‘you’. Look it up. It does indeed make ‘Go.’ the shortest sentence in the English language.
And, uh… Kansas is not one syllable. Are you on drugs?

51 , Racecar doesn’t read like kayak.
Kayak doesn’t read like racecar
March 10th, 2008 at 2:42 am
Steb,
I believe they were saying that racecar and kayak are spelled the same way forward and backward.
March 12th, 2008 at 9:00 am
alright so first of all all these facts are simple exstrodianry epic.(sc) very interesting, i must say…. genious.
i wanna know the ones that are true!
jeessssshhhhhhhhhhhh get a brain…
P.s; nice. ;]
March 18th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
“I am” is not the shortest complete sentence. It is “Go.”
March 19th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
“Go” is a complete sentece. “You” is implied and understood (except, apparently, by some of you morons). This is proved by diagramming the sentence “Go,” in which the word “you” is included. Also, not everyone in Kansas is such an idiot. Everyone I know pronounces it with two syllables.
March 21st, 2008 at 12:59 am
ok. Marilyn Monroe was born with fibular postaxial hexadactyly and had the extra toe removed at birth. Also, the continents the way some of you are explianing them could all be one because they are all some how connected. next I am is the shortest sentence that can be used without prior knowledge, implications, or confusion. Ex: you are in a room with ten people and you say go who then is the subject? It could be any or all of the people. The golf balls of several decades ago did consist of 336 dimples but now they do not this fact was accurate in the 90’s. sliver and silver have different stress placement and therefore do not rhyme. And dragonflies live for about 24 hours after they reach adult stage.

okay, all you people must be smacked up or something, do yu have nothing better to do than sit here and argue about a crappy site with crappy stuff on it? btw cheeseman … lovin the name. cheese rocks! and Donna, well said about the marvelLOUS thing, deborah meister is an idiot, and “hazardess is spelt hazarDOUS or else it wouldnt be one of the only 4 words that end in “dous” if it was spelt hazardess!
DUMBASS!
April 10th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
however, cheeseman sliver does NOT rhyme with silver .. yu have to say them right s-i-l ver … s-l-iver … totally different
[still love the name tho]
April 13th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
so if i am is the shortest sentence ever could it not be contracted to i’m?
April 27th, 2008 at 7:07 am
you people are sad people i only read this site for home work but im guessing most people on this site r over 12 years of age u are all seriously demented and shud check into a mental asalysum or summit
lots of loe savannah
cheeserman luv ya name
April 30th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
you people crack me up. I am sure that this list was created for amusement not accuracy. There are only 5 continents, go is the shortest sentence in the English Language, and the microwave was most definitely created after some guy walked past a radar tube and the chocolate bar in his pocket melted.

the about all the continents is wrong australia is not a continent it is known as oceania (pronounced oshieana)or australiasia
May 27th, 2008 at 10:48 am
oceania is australia and a few tiny islands around it
June 7th, 2008 at 3:51 am
I’m sure the contient is not Australia. I thought it could be called Australasia OR Oceania. Australasia would qualify as a continent which begins and ends in the same letter.
June 14th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
you are all wrong.
i hate you.
please choke.

It is correct, it says to not count the North and South in America.
July 4th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
you all are dumb and are fighting over nothing. if a fact is wrong… he didnt know that. so leave a comment saying its wrong… dont make a big deal out of it
July 10th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
[...] So. Where did the teacher get this interesting “fact” about dragonflies.  Well it appears as though there is a factoid sheet circulating on the interwebs and being sent via e-mail forwarding chains. On this factoid sheet is the statement ”Dragonflies only live 24 hours”. I know about this because I have since encountered the list of “facts” at various websites and as well, my Godmother forwarded me the accursed list. She also likes to send me inspirational Christian spam. Lovely.   [...]

1. The number of contintents depends on what you were taught, so perhaps that’s why people differ on this one. (For the record, I was taught that there are 7 continents, and that Oceania is a name that hasn’t been widely used since Christ was an altar boy.)
2. You can spell the name of the country any way you like, as long as the second syllable rhymes with “veil”, “sale”, and “hail” as in “aus-TRALE-ya.”
3. Words that truly rhyme must SOUND the same. Spelling doesn’t matter. “fox” and “socks” do in fact rhyme (see Dr. Seuss), whereas “fifth” and “sift” do not. There are different sounds that end each of these words.
And now…for a few completely useFUL and TRUE facts:
1. The New York Yankees have won more championships than any other MLB team.
2. The New York Yankees have won more games than any other MLB team.
3. THE NEW YORK YANKEES F*CKING SUCK!!!!!!!!!!
Since I am aware of #’s 1 and 2, find another way to dispute #3 (if you can), as the Yankees have proven that one can achieve all three simultaneously.
November 4th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
you are all very sad.
1) please try saying to yourself month and front; do they really sound alike? at all?
i dont think so.
2)these facts are not useless
they keep you entertained for hours in times of boredom.
3) you are arguing over continents, which is a pointless argument, as opinions and teaching differ.
4)you are all trying to sound really clever and use long words. you then get your facts in your comments wrong.
case closed.

September 2nd, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Some of you people are the dumbest people I have ever met. NOTHING rhymes with month, purple, silver or orange. NOTHING you have stated rhymes with those. You don’t know the correct definition of rhyme if you think ANYTHING rhymes with those words. Quit being imbisils. And Venomous Kate, “I think those of us in Kansas would disagree with the one “Maine is the only US state with one sylable.” ARE YOU RETARDED?
KANS-ASS. TWO!
All of you are idiots.
October 5th, 2009 at 2:07 am
Rhyming doesn’t have to mean that every word is the same but the first word. There is loose rhyming, which isn’t quite like house, mouse, and louse, but it is used often by poets. I think you need to look up the definition of rhyme or you will continue to look like an idiot by desperately screaming “NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING” over and over again. It might not be strict rhyming, but factoring in certain regional pronounciations and loose poetic license. Also, we don’t all talk like American newscasters, you know, like you seem to think we do, not everyone speaks English with that funny accent, there is variation. You could also use archaic words and grammar (which is still correct) in rhyming such as “howlth” which DOES rhyme with mouth. And some people have odd pronounciation. Again, we don’t all talk like newscasters, deal with it. I say “milk” more like “whelk” then like “silk”, I say “loud” more like “sud” than like “crowd”. Also, want to know what don’t make sense? Pronouncing “roof” like the way a dog barks. But even more so, pronouncing “both” like “bolth”. Where’s the mysterious “l” that seems to work its way into “both” in that silly American newscaster accent? It’s almost like Shakespeare saying “Thou hath bowlth a 300, I am gladsome”. And before you question my intelligence, I have a degree from a top University and have an IQ in the top percentile. I probably also know a lot of Old English words that you had never heard, heck, I bet you think Shakespeare is Old English.
Also, spare my the hyperbole. You and others who say “you are the dumbest I’ve ever met” are truly the dumbest people on the planet. By the way, genius, you spelled “imbecile” wrong. Learn to spell before you trash other people.

Also, if anyone wants to argue that “I am” is indeed the shortest sentence and “Go” is not a sentence, I suggest you brush up on your second grade grammar. “Go” is an informal command, and informal commands, by nature, have implied subjects, which means that “Go” is indeed the world’s shortest sentence. You could make a case for “Be” as well being tied with “Go” if you consider “I am” a sentence.
Although many of these facts are incorrect, I have seen worse. To expand on a previous point, there is a word that does indeed rhyme with purple using the traditional means, “nurple” which is slang for nipple, developed to rhyme with purple. If you’ve ever gotten a purple nurple, it’s not much fun.
Edit: I misread “month” as “mouth”, that’s what I get for posting late at night. “Runneth” turned into “run’th” using old fashioned poetic liscenec does indeed rhyme with month. There.

Sorry, but ‘Go’ is not the same as ‘You go’. ‘Go’ by itself is an imperative and doesn’t need a pronoun. The subject is implicit in the verb, just as ‘Ethelbert Crum’ is implicit in ‘I am’ as the answer to ‘Are you Ethelbert Crum?’ ‘Go’ carries the implication that the speaker expects the person addressed (’you’) to do something, but that is in the meaning NOT in the words used, and the word used ‘Go’ (Usually with an exclamation mark) is by itself the imperative of ‘to go’. ‘You go’ carries a different implication, and may be stressed on the ‘you’ to indicate that the person addressed is to go rather than the speaker or a third person previously referred to. ‘Go!’ is not referrential to any other possibility of who is to go. I will admit that there is an implication in ‘I am.’ The implication is that I am whatever the previous speaker has stated me to be, or queried if I am. ‘I go’ also carries an implication and a reference to other things, as does ‘Go!’. ‘To go’ is an intransitive verb, but there must be a place to go to, or a way of going as implicit in the statement as what it is that I am. Don’t forget that the verb ‘to be’ doesn’t really take an object, as both sides have to balance. ‘I am happy’ is as illegal (to use the term from Bob Harrison - whoever he may be) as ‘I am’. ‘I am happy’ in that way of looking at things really should be ‘I am a happy person’ (or elephant or whatever the speaker happens to be). But that’s not the way English works. There’s still too much use of Latin-type grammar, a lot (two words) of which is inapplicable to a language as mixed in origin as English.

Also, I agree with Matt. There are words that do rhyme with some of these. For instance, month, rhymes with en-plus-one’th(or rather, (n + 1)th)a mathematical term; also hundred-and-oneth (= hundred-and-first). Orange also rhymes with Blorrenge, a hill name in Whales. Purple rhymes with hirple, or to walk with a limp. Silver? How about chilver? A female lamb. I didn’t even use slant rhyming as suggested by Matt, nor did I use “Old English”. Nurple is far from a real word. Does it have a meaning? A word, is defined as a sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes.Nurple would need to be combined with purple, for meaning, making it a compound.
Poetic License? Last time I checked, we don’t speak in rhyme. The following conditions are required for a rhyme to be perfect:
The vowel sound in both words must be identical. — e.g. “sky” and high”
The articulation that precedes the vowel sound must differ. The letter h is not considered to be a distinct articulation for this purpose. So “hear” and “ear” are improper rhymes, as are “leave” and “believe”, whereas “green” and “spleen” are perfect rhymes.
Both words must have the same stresses. So “try” and “country” are improper rhymes, whereas the former is a perfect rhyme with “sigh”.
Word pairs that satisfy the first and third conditions but not the second (such as the aforementioned “leave” and “believe”) are technically identities (also known as identical rhymes or identicals).
Also, next time you say,
“And before you question my intelligence, I have a degree from a top University and have an IQ in the top percentile. I probably also know a lot of Old English words that you had never heard, heck, I bet you think Shakespeare is Old English.”
Please, make sure your arguement is intelligent. Regional pronunciations? Archaic words being correct? While it is correct, it is obsolete and no longer used. Honestly, if you walked up to me and said, “Thou hath bowlth a 300, I am gladsome”, I would reply with, “éow eart án léasere”, which is TRUE Old English. Also, run’th isn’t a word. Runneth is, however. (Third-person singular present simple form of run)
Next you’ll be saying that your IQ is PI, and that your brother is Christopher Marlowe. Please friend, we may agree on Go, but your rhyming needs work.

Also, words ending in DOUS? I can name atleast a few off the top of my head:
•apodous - (of snakes and eels) naturally footless;
•hazardous - marked by danger
•horrendous - hideous;dreadful
•iodous - (Chemistry) of or containing iodine, esp in the trivalent state
•iridous - containing trivalent iridium.
•jeopardous - perilous; dangerous; hazardous; risky.
•macropodous - (of an embryo) having an enlarged hypocotyl.
•molybdous - of or containing molybdenum, esp. in its lower valences.
•palladous - of or containing bivalent palladium.
•phyllocladous - having phylloclades.
•stupendous - causing amazement; astounding; marvelous: stupendous news.
•tremendous - extraordinarily great in size, amount, or intensity: a tremendous ocean liner; tremendous talent.
•vanadous - containing divalent or trivalent vanadium.
I would have had cephalopodous, but the suffix is PODOUS, and rather, not DOUS.

TYPERWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters on only one row of the keyboard.
There are two other words equal in length; perpetuity, and repertoire.
I’ll keep going.

Actually, screeched isn’t the longest monosyllable! schmaltzed is 10 letters, making it 1 letter longer. (meaning “imparted a sentimental atmosphere to” e.g. of music; with a 1969 attestation for the past tense.)

The fact about the peanuts and dynamite is true!
Dynamite is made from Nitroglycerine
Nitroglycerine, also known as trinitroglycerin, and glyceryl trinitrate, is an oily, explosive liquid made by nitrating glycerol.
So nitroglycerine is made from glycerol.
Glycerol or glycerine, is a viscous liquid used in soap, cream, and food.
Glycerol is made of……….Peanut oil!
Peanut oil of course being made of peanuts!
So there you have it! The principle ingredient of dynamite is peanuts!
In fact you could conceivably concur that without peanuts, there very possibly would never have been a Nobel Peace Prize.

‘amt’ (a German or Scandinavian political

éow eart án léasere, by the way, is Old English for, You are an idiot (fool).

Trever Finck, you’re my hero (: Ha ha. Thanks, it was actually an educational waste of an hour to read the comments. And if I were able to pronounce the Old English, I would be using it often.

I fin it unbelievable that some people in America can be so stupid. Unless the English language is being re-written, Kansas has two syllables. Kan- sas is pronouced with a change in register during normal speech. Might want to re-inform all the people in Kansas there Venomous Kate. Also it is a source of amusement to me to see that at several times along this comment thread that people have attempted to stop this little teet-a-teet, and yet, people continue to comment on the expicit use of vulgar language, as some pathetic people seem to have it in their im-mature minds that by using afore-mentioned language, others will read it and think more about what ever the person is saying. Personally, when i read an illiterate person attempt to get their views across via nonsensible, rude and ill-constucted comments, then i move to the next comment. However, i believe it prudent to mention that even though there are some educated comments made, they are nullified by the idiotic subject that they are based on. And in latin, Miser-cordia Fosser means, i pity the fool. Rather apt in this situation i feel.
