Smelly feet are a potent weapon against a roommate you don't like.
#1. It's the exact same bacteria that makes Blue Cheese smell like stinky feet.
#2. Rocker Ozzy Osbourne soaks himself w/buckets of water during concerts to hide the fact that he is incontenient and often pee's his pants onstage.
#3. Young Japanese Sumo Wrestlers must serve an apprenticeship under an older established Sumo wrestler master. During which time, one of their duties is to wipe their obese masters * after he takes a crap. Distain for this distastefull duty is believed to a major factor in the decline of modern day Sumo wrestler wannabe's.
#4. Singer John Denver was decapitated in the plane crash that ended his life. His head was never found.
#5. Ronnie Van Zant was a local Jacksonville Fla. bully who became the singer/leader of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band simply by walking into the practice session of an already established band and announcing "I'm your new singer".
Band members were too afraid of him to object. Van Zant ruled the band w/an iron fist, regularly beating up members who didn't pay their instruments to his satisfaction. Which caused some turnover in personel as some early members quit rather than submit to his beatings.
The only Lynyrd Skynyrd band member to not receive a beating from Van Zant was latecomer Steve Gaines.
A man's third (ring) finger is almost invariably longer than his index finger. Not so with women.
It it possible to turn a .22 bullet 180' if you shoot towards two pieces of concrete pipe standing on end close together.
Young girls (or women) who have long hair sometimes end up ingesting strands of hair that pass thru their digestive system and sometimes must be removed from their * manually. The hair strands pass partially out the *, get stuck part in/part out, and tickle their butt.
Happens most often w/girls who chew on their hair.
Just one of many things women go thru that they don't tell men about.
MOST OBSCURE !!

The MOPAR 426 Max Wedge had the highest compression ratio ever used in a mass produced street engine - 13.5:1.

Take 2 test tubes, fill one with bleach and stopper tightly! Was hands and test tube. Fill second tube with amonia and stopper tightly. Wash hands and tube again. Tape 2 tubes together, and you now have a chemical bomb more than capable of killing youself. JUST DON'T EVEN TRY, PLEASE???
You can make smoke bombs from sugar.
Make ULTRA loud firecrackers using brass casings. Take a rifle casing, drill a hole throught the (fired) primer. Insert fire cracker fuse and bend. Fill casing 1/3 with shotgun powder, fill with toilet paper and compress powder and paper in a vice using a small metal rod and viola you have a firecracker that is loud as a 7mag! Put those neighborhood kids to shame! You might note that anything that sounds like a gun can lead to the police being called.
All modern day race horses can be traced back to 1 of the orginal 6 horse from the sports early years.
You canNOT make C4 from componets found at your local hardware store, however, you can make NAPALM. For whatever reason...
Pink feet don't stink. So I have been told.
pouring gas on a piece of styrofoam will produce trace amounts of cyanide gas.
Take 2 test tubes, fill one with bleach and stopper tightly! Was hands and test tube. Fill second tube with amonia and stopper tightly. Wash hands and tube again. Tape 2 tubes together, and you now have a chemical bomb more than capable of killing youself. JUST DON'T EVEN TRY, PLEASE???

Congratulations !!!
