These are NOT facts. Do NOT call them facts. I will list the ones I have problems with and why.
2. Monday is the most common day for suicides, majority suggests over half.
5. They do not, your skin retracts due to drying, giving the impression of growth.
14. Poor use of \\\"Average\\\" Mean, Mode, or Median.
17. No scientist says that. One part was underdeveloped, meaning that another was 15% bigger to tkae up THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF SPACE
29. For purple there is Curple and Hurple (Both are English words)Silver has Chilver which is a young ewe

1000 phone calls a DAY??? Who on earth has time to do that? 1000 calls a year is more likely.
#4 by kristen Apr 27, 2008
yeah 1000 phone calls a day is almost impossible.
#5 by poop Apr 27, 2008
yeah.. these are not facts.
internet lies. believe what you read.
#6 by bearybeary Apr 27, 2008
1000 calls a year. if you tried to make 1000 calls a day, you would be on the phone for your entire waking day.

Imagine the phone bill if you made 1000 phone calls a day...
We own a business and we don't even use that much :p
#8 by Thriell Apr 29, 2008
1000 phone calls per day = ~41.67 per hour
= ~0.69 calls per minute
= ~1.43 minutes per call
= ~1 minute 25 seconds from the start of 1 call to the start of the next.
The only way you could make 1000 calls per day is if you were starting a new call every minute and a half or less for 24 hours and never took time to sleep, eat, watch tv, or read stupid crap on the internet.
I really wish people would do a little simple math before proclaiming some ridiculous fact is true.

Theres a lot wrong with this, aside from the basic thing of many eing lies and filth it also is covered in bad grammar and vague wordings, and the title itself wreaks of idiocy.
Things like this make the internet the groveling filth infested pit that it is.
#10 by James Smith May 27, 2008
Well, I was going to take you to task on many of these, but I see that you have been raked over the coals quite a bit. I will say the #15 is total BS, though. This was examined on the Mythbusters show and shown to be ineffective. Also, I have never heard of any dentist saying this. The wife of my best friend is a dentist and she laughed at it.

The fact about suicides is false. There was an event called "Suicide Tuesday" that goes on with the involvement of hallucinogenic drugs such as acid and LSD. Most suicides happen on Tuesday.

Its obv. this person has made a careless mistake, but you cnt say you have never made one in your life? Its obv supposed to say 1 year and not one day, you lot have clearly stated above.
And 'someone' has copied either you, or you have copied 'them' cuz ther are like the egsactly the same facts on the web adress lil bit higher than this one, but you or the 'other' person has just twisted it a little bit.

Having a brain bigger than someone else doesn't necessarily mean that you are smarter or that you have more memory space! It jus means that u have a bigger brain! Big Deal!
#19 by Mr Big Head Nov 19, 2008
well i screw you! i have abig head!!
#20 by Apple Nov 28, 2008
Pretty much none of these are correct. 1000 phone calls a day?? No. Way.
And just cause you have a big head doesn't mean you're smart.
And.. Haha idk. There's a lot that are wrong but i'm on my iPod at school right now, I'm about to get caught and suspended. Haha. Whoever made this list needs to rethink what they wrote down, and tell where the he'll they got they're information from.
