Fact (if not together + run with)

Spielburg was diagnosed as an adult.

Fact or fiction: Dogs can't look up.

this is false my dog looks up all the time

Ants never sleep

Correct. False is the right answer -- Dogs can look up. It's also a movie reference (Shaun Of The Dead).

You know, as much as I know about ants, I'm not sure. But I did notice that they seem to be less operational at night.

this is supposed to be true. An 'expert' told me but i have proven experts wrong before. but i can't say i have ever seen a sleeping ant. They rest, not sleep



The opposite sides of a dice cube will always add up to 7

Yes and the number seven is the most common combination when rolling two dice -- hence, "lucky number seven" in dice games.

A picture thinker can think in up to 32 pictures or concepts in a second.

yup and

i think its true


scientists in brazil are trying to develope flying pigs

No, but I believe they were engineering something like green pig (green down to the bone I think).

Yes, this is said to be true, but it's also supposed to be subliminal, so in theory you wouldn't know for sure. A linear thinker (that is, a person with an internal monologue) by comparison only thinks in up to 6 to 7 words (also subliminal, although I wouldn't know) in the same amount of time.

Fact or Fiction: Human blood is not truely red when it is running through your veins.

it depends on what you mean by red. I'll try to make this short
Red blood cells are always red, it is more noticable when it has oxygen. They are much darker, almost like a dark purple when they don't have any oxygen

hemoglobin>heme>iron

when oxygen goes with iron (temporary ind space for what this is called) the color changes so when blood leaves the lungs(w/ a fresh supply of Oxygen) they are bright red, then after they go to the mucles, kidneys ect. they are more of a dark purple, not red exactly, because they gave the oxygen away. some people would say its red. purple does have red in it so maybe.
(most)Arteries>red
(most)Veins>purple-red or really dark red

depends who you are asking, its really just a 'well, what color do you think it is' thing.
okay......sorry if this came out weird or confusing

Emperor penguins are the only type of penguin that lives in antartica

No, you described it how I would have. Very good and true.

Yes, emperor penguins are the only ones that are in antarctica.

Fact or fiction: During the Kennedy assassination, most people at the scene were correct that they heard separate gunshots coming from the grassy knoll and the otherside of the street, in addition to the book depository.

trick questin they are the onlyones that live there and breed in winter, not the only ones Adelie Penguin


true, i think there was another shooting but i am not realy sure.....

certain penguins can jump up to six feet

Dang (on the penguin thing).

Actually, the "shooters" on the grassy knoll and the opposite side of the street never existed. But the crowd did hear gunshot reports. "How?" you ask. The rifle Oswald used was a high powered weapon -- the bullet broke the sound barrier. The effect is called a bullet bow shockwave; an effect where the bullet pulls the sound of the gunshot report in it's shockwave, effectively creating a sonic boom that projects off the bullet track at a 90 degree angle. To anyone standing at the grassy knoll, they would hear what sounds like two shots coming from one; one report from the book depository, one seeming to come from across the street as the bullet passed. The people across the street would get a similar effect, one coming from the book depository, one seeming to come from the direction of the grassy knoll as the bullet passed. This effectively creates confused eyewitness testimony which generates the illusion there were up to 9 shots, when in fact, Oswald and ONLY Oswald fired 3 shots.

Most conspiracy theoriests know nothing of ballistics and most their "evidence" comes from not properly understanding the science.

When I studied forensics, this was our case study on the bullet bow effect for ballistics.

Penguins jumping six feet: I don't know.

Fact or fiction - the "magic bullet" was in perfect condition.

True??

there are more people with dark hair( in general) then there are with blonde hair and red hair combined (naturally i mean)

true but not in sweden where 99% of people are blond

yups now um



at some point, every human fetus has gills

Fact - It's the ONLY part of the conspiracy theorists argument that holds. Now mind you, the bullet track of the magic bullet is nothing like what they said, where they claim it would have had to make all sorts of turns to create the injuries that it did in the Governor and Pres. Kennedy. This is because conspiracy theorists go by when the Govenor (who was sitting in the seat in front of Kennedy) said he was shot -- which is when he turned around to look at the President. This is in fact when he first realizes that he is hit. He was actually hit moments before when the bullet passed through Kennedy. The evidence of this is on the Zapruder film but conspiracy theorists always ignore it. The Governor had a cane across his lap. When the bullet hits Kennedy, passes through the Governor and hits his wrist, knocking his hand down, and the cane goes flipping out of the car (this can be seen on the film right before where most conspiracy theorists start their cut).

If the Governor is facing forward, the bullet track is in a strait line from the book depository, but if he is turned it creats the zig zag effect that conspiracy theorists falsely point out.

The bullet was in perfect shape because it had passed though the flesh of the President and the Governor, slowing down before striking the Governors wrist bone and then coming to a rest.

Hair color - true. Blonde hair accounts for an extremely small percentage (about 1.2%) and red hair is less frequent then blonde.

Fact or fiction - Green eyes are less common than blue.

true?
