		<description>So he really wanted them to screw over the rest of us. Of course that is if you are a believer.I waited for the explosion. Nothing happened that day. I went back the next day — it was summer and I had nothing to do — not dead birds anywhere in the park</description>

		<description>I never believe the rice and birds thingy . . . why?  Cause at 15 I tried it.  I went to the park with a pound of rice and fed the birds.  There was a fountain there and many of them drank after eating alot of uncooked rice.  I waited for the explosion.  Nothing happened that day.  I went back the next day -- it was summer and I had nothing to do -- not dead birds anywhere in the park.  Case closed.</description>

		<description>Comment Guy Number 49, being allergic to apples is a sort of good thing to me. I hate the taste of apples. I&#039;m violently allergic to horses, so you&#039;re lucky. 

As for the people who think you&#039;ll die after going into  the swimming pool STRAIGHT AFTER you eat, I had a couple of pieces of pizza at the pool, and I went STRAIGHT IN THE POOL AFTER EATING. I&#039;m alive. Nothing bad happened to me. *big evil grin*</description>

		<description>my mum told me that I should always put on clean underwear before i went out in case i was in an accident and had to go to hospital.
pity most people crap/piss themselves when in a bad accident.

as for adam and eve, i like the oral sex explanation above, but most of the bible is allegory, and only makes sense in this way. As for apples, they don&#039;t keep the doctor away. in fact, I&#039;m allergic to them, so they do the opposite.

and biblical literists can go comfort themselves with the fact that if A and E were the first two people on earth, then we&#039;re all seriously inbred. After all, cain and abel must have been doing their sisters, or Eve.</description>

		<description>wow, you really f*cked up in this article. 
looks like there&#039;s hardly anything you got right. 
i think you should delete it for the sake a human kind. 
i know i wasted at least half an hour reading it and all the comments and i&#039;m sure glad i read those comments because then i might actually have gone on believing some of the bull sh*t you&#039;ve written here.</description>

		<description>Ok, the whole thing about the hair NOT growing after you die... is TRUE.... It only LOOKS like it&#039;s growing, because your skin is shrinking and body is decomposing.... Same deal with fingernails... You see, since your body has ceased to function, you can&#039;t form more cells, therefore, no more growing of anything.... So yeah...just thought I&#039;d clear that up.... (Don&#039;t believe me?? Ask a coroner or mortician...) :)</description>

		<description>Chewing gum doesn&#039;t really stay in your stomach for seven years. Most of the gum I chew ends up being swallowed. When you hit the toilet, it makes the bathroom smell (slightly) nicer. If some people can smell, that is.</description>

So you are wrong again!!!

if there was a council of aliens who authored this, why would they have any interest in seeing if adam could overcome his temptations?

		<description>If you exercise, say, swim, shortly after eating, you may get a tummy ache. It depends on your specific body. The water&#039;s ability to distort your body&#039;s perception of gravity might influence you too. And puking in the pool is a lot worse than puking on the track.

The myth is: &quot;If you eat something, and don&#039;t wait thirty minutes to go swimming, you&#039;ll get a cramp.&quot; I never heard anyone say you&#039;d die. And this &quot;myth&quot; is a slightly inaccurate, imprecise statement. It applies to a lot of people. Depends on your body.

Brushing your hair is healthy. Period. Like everything else that is healthy, it can be overdone.

And God is an alien council. They are not all-powerful. They put the tree in the garden to see if Adam and Eve would blindly obey them. They didn&#039;t. It wasn&#039;t a snake that told them to do it, it was their own curiosity (figurative snake?). Just kidding. It&#039;s a theory though, and more complete with less holes than most.</description>

The water&#8217;s ability to distort your body&#8217;s perception of gravity might influence you too. And puking in the pool is a lot worse than puking on the track.</p>
<p>The myth is: &#8220;If you eat something, and don&#8217;t wait thirty minutes to go swimming, you&#8217;ll get a cramp.&#8221; I never heard anyone say you&#8217;d die. And this &#8220;myth&#8221; is a slightly inaccurate, imprecise statement. It applies to a lot of people. Depends on your body.</p>
<p>Brushing your hair is healthy. Period. Like everything else that is healthy, it can be overdone.</p>
<p>And God is an alien council. They are not all-powerful. They put the tree in the garden to see if Adam and Eve would blindly obey them. They didn&#8217;t. It wasn&#8217;t a snake that told them to do it, it was their own curiosity (figurative snake?). Just kidding. It&#8217;s a theory though, and more complete with less holes than most.</p>

		<description>&gt; when I first started shaving my face the hair was the same thickness...

Couldn&#039;t have anything to do with the fact that when you first started shaving, your facial hair was still developing, no?</description>

		<description>In reference to the &quot;hair grows back thicker and darker after you shave it&quot; myth, I would like to ask anyone to take a look at any kid going through puberty.  When they first get their facial hair, it&#039;s thin and soft.  Once they shave it, it comes back thicker and more brittle.

I had a friend back in my high school years who refused to shave, even after he started growing facial hair.  It was very soft, thin, light-colored, and ugly-looking.  We eventually pinned him down and shaved it off for him. *evil grin*  Finally, it grew in normal-looking, dark, and thick.</description>

		<description>I believe the first few cuts of hair make the difference - when I first started shaving my face the hair was the same thickness as all the other areas (ahem) of my body that I didn&#039;t shave - now it&#039;s dark and course even when left to grow into a beard.

Oh and â€œone persons terrorist is another persons freedom figheter(sic)â€ -  I&#039;d always assumed that terrorists attacked innocent people whilst freedon fighters attacked the large scale military targets that were threatening them.  Next time a &#039;freedom fighter&#039; decides to blow up a commuter train I&#039;d be inclined to re-classify them as a terrorist!</description>

		<description>Billy: AFAIK, hair stops growing almost immediately after you die. However, as your skin starts to dry up, it shrivels away and your hair *looks* as if it was growing.</description>

		<description>What if the fruit of the garden was the product of Chaos and Order , the eventuality of growth, or more clearly to say the inevitability of progress. The fruit was our modern consciousness, the capacity of evil and within it the knowledge to choose a path towards god, order and greater, more-artistically fashioned complexity or towards the devil, chaos and descent into the fear of not having what you wish. You see, the taking of the fruit and the whole bible is only a symbolic chronology. I would argue that to reach for the fruit is in our nature, the essence of desire is rooted in the knowledge that you do not have what you cannot touch and what you cannot touch that is alluring and unreachable, you must touch. Even if it takes an eternity. 

The fruit and adam and eve are the mutation of higher-consciousness and the eventuality of many paths of evolution converging on a significant threshold at which functional patterns in behavioral morphology within the context of the species began to act autonomously from the influence of genetic inflection.</description>

		<description>One is more likely to suffer cramps from NOT eating before swimming.  Swimming is good exercise and tends to exhaust the body of necessary nutrients.  A cramp is a sign that your body needs fluids, minerals, &amp; sugars.

I agree that the body is the garden.  I intujitively feel that the &quot;tree&quot; is the male genitals.  The fruit is what you get from that &quot;tree&quot;.  Having participated in fellacio and cunnilingus, Adam and Eve had a heightened awareness of their differences compared to the &quot;I never thought about it&quot; exsistence they had been living.  Thus began the age of man second guessing and questioning everything.  Ergo, the fall from grace (after all, ignorance is bliss...).</description>

		<description>Ok...I have to say, it was good and I started believing it all!  But then I came across this little tidbit of LIES!!!  

&quot;Nor does your hair keep growing after you die.&quot;

Actually, your body keeps doing what it&#039;s doing (if u are left alone naturally).  Even though your brain dead and stop breathing, most of your cells in your body are still living, which means if hair cells are still working, your hair is still growing.  You can grow upto 1/100th an inch a day, and upto fourteen days after your dead before your hair cells will all die out.

Ask any med student.</description>

		<description>Cramps...eating...swimming...

Just because the explanation wasn&#039;t complete...doesn&#039;t mean it isn&#039;t a factual statement.


You eat tainted food...you go out swimming...you suffer gastric distress...you do not have the ability to swim while you are vomiting and doubling over...you drown.</description>

		<description>Here is another one:

Get your hair cut, and you&#039;ll get a job.

I had long hair for a few years. My parents insisted that I get it cut so that I could get a new job. Five years ago I got it cut, for a job interview. I didn&#039;t get it (I was qualified enough). furthermore, I&#039;m still doing the same job as before. Friends who still have long hair are able to change jobs almost yearly, and each is better paid than the last.</description>

		<description>Two points:
1) Van Gogh sold more than just one painting, although he sold them at prices that are ridiculous by current standards. He also gave some away to pay bills, which is comparable to selling.
2) Brushing your hair is good for blood circulation and has a (minuscule) positive effect.</description>

		<description>&quot; Sri Lankaâ€™s Tamil Tigers, who conscript child soldiers and lead the world in suicide bombings, did give aid to Sri Lankans in the wake of the 2004 tsunami.&quot;

give it a break,

tiger may lead the suicide bombing but with the lowest civilian casulty, they always aim at political and financial targets of the Government of SL to stop them from bombing tamil people. the government borrows money from IMF to fund the war, 

Sri-lankan army has under age soldiers, one was recently caught by the tigers, he has been in the army 3 years , according to his DOB he is 19. of course when they sign up the government doesnt care.

just like in WWII when UK/US didnt care, and its in the records.
at a receruitment drive in WWII, a kid goes up to sign up and the recruiter goes how old are you? the kid goes 16, then the recruiter says, come back tomorrow and lets see if you are 18, 

and at the end of the day &quot;one persons terrorist is another persons freedom figheter&quot;</description>

		<description>Ok, I will accept that you do actually use all of your brain.  Perhaps some people do not use all of the brain very well though.

For example, one may use all of his/her brain to further their knowledge and understanding of the way the universe works.  However another may use all of their brain to absorb what ever tripe is being dished up on today&#039;s episode of Springer.

And perhaps there are some &quot;world leaders&quot; out there that should dedicate at least some of their brain to absorbing the dictionary.

I still chuckle to myself when ever I think of &quot;misunderestimated&quot;.</description>

		<description>Very interesting post. I&#039;m a tamil myself but I 100% agree what u said on tamil tigers in sri lanka.

Yea they are the founding fathers of terrorism and use people&#039;s sufferings as a tool for them to make money and gain power, yet they have a powerful propaganda machine (as most other terrorist arganizations have) which portrait them as freedom fighters.

Tiger&#039;s actually rob aid intended for poor people, but yet claim they give charity. Pretty much like Musolini ran trains on time :-)</description>

		<description>At school I was taught, like you said, that Van Gogh cut a little part of his ear and he did send it to a woman (not necessarily mail it). I don&#039;t remember any reference for her being a prostitute.
He was in love with that woman and wanted to give her something and since he was broke and didn&#039;t have any belongings to give her, *he gave her a part of himself*.</description>

		<description>Actually I don&#039;t think the fruit is around anymore.  I could be wrong, it has been a while since I read it, but I think that god destroyed the tree after this.  Makes you wonder what kind of a sick bastard would put fruit in the garden and say don&#039;t eat this.  If he is omnipotent, he allready knew they would do it.  So he really wanted them to screw over the rest of us.  Of course that is if you are a believer.  And I thought the christian god was supposed to love all of us.</description>

		<description>Mike, this is an excerpt from Snopes:

Disney&#039;s White Wilderness was filmed in Alberta, Canada, which is not a native habitat for lemmings and has no outlet to the sea. Lemmings were imported for use in the film, purchased from Inuit children by the filmmakers. The Arctic rodents were placed on a snow-covered turntable and filmed from various angles to produce a &quot;migration&quot; sequence; afterwards, the helpless creatures were transported to a cliff overlooking a river and herded into the water.</description>

		<description>True lemmings aren&#039;t native to Alberta as the article states, but last time I checked we have mountain and prarie...nothing in between. That video is NOT Alberta. We do not have to many vast expanses of water with ice flows and huge cliffs.

Your article should be &#039;lies your crappy article told me&#039;.</description>

		<description>Pomegranate causes you to know good and evil? Gimme a break.

Doesn&#039;t brushing stimulate the scalp, increasing blood flow to follicles?</description>

		<description>Excellent information. I have been fighting the last one (you only use 10% of your brain) for years. It was all started by some textbook stating authoritatively that we only understand the specific functioning of 10% of the brain, which at the time, was true and accurate, but it did not say what people wanted to believe it said, that we only USE 10% of our brain, so the could say that the other 90% were the domain of mysterious paranormal abilities. Even back then, it was understood that the 90% of the brain that we do not understand the specific function of has been proven to be the domain of long term memory, mostly. When that part of the brain is damaged, long term memory is what is lost, along with associated problems that naturally go with massive brain injury. I think this 10% myth persists because people want to believe that they are special, and that they have hidden abilities that no one can understand but them. Then they attribute the mysterious abilities to the 90% unknown. Actuallly, the 90% unknown is probably chiefly the domain of the mystic ability of self delusion. Sorry to be mean about it.

		<description>Just two points I&#039;d like to clarify - with logic alone, as I know of no research to back this up.

First - The rice you throw at weddings isn&#039;t merely uncooked, its dried.  The idea was that the birds would eat a lot of dehydrated at once, more than they could find in the same period of time in the field, and then when they drank, it could result in gastronomic distress that could injure them.  Don&#039;t know if its true, but I don&#039;t trust Landers or the growers as a source of info on this.

Second - brushing your hair spreads oil from you scalp down the length of the hair shaft - which gets precious little in this wonderful historical period of hygiene.  On the other hand, the wrong brush of comb will break more hairs than it lubricates, so only the right brush will improve condition, and only if you brush before shampooing, not afterwards.

Would love to hear your opinions on this -

But I still stick to the Disney cryogenic freezing due to first-hand experience on the computer of the guy working on &quot;thawing&quot; the Disney body.  As I recall the governement gave him more funds than Disney did...  :-)</description>
