they are all true...now go back and think about #16 YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alot of people that responded to the "Phobia"thread will
appreciate #16! Irish

I would say #16 is TRUE!!!!! I woke up with a daddy-long-leg spider on my face!!!!




I will come back to the other ones after I ponder them a bit. ;)

Are you sure #2 is true! If he didn't have a belly button then what did he have?????

That's what I was thinking, Summer. It's not physically possible to not have one- it's formed from the umbilical cord, which connects a person to their mother, meaning they were born.

Was he an alien and I just wasn't aware of it?

Here is a fact about #10. The toothbrush was invented in 1498.

Not sure if the year is correct or not BUT it was invented in Lousianna
The reason I am so sure of this?
If it were invented anywhere else it would have been named a TEETH brush
