Researchers recently confirmed the discovery of something no one ever expected to find. According to the researchers extended testing gave conclusive evidence that this was 'the real deal'. Their remarkable discovery: an honest politician!
Detractors pointed out that 'extended testing' lasted for only one day, subjects were kept gagged and silent for the duration and even then only got a 60% grading for honesty and integrity.
Others, however, kept shaking their heads in awe repeating the number 60% in wonder. No country in the history of the world has even aspired to these numbers.
Meanwhile, 2 of the subjects that was part of the study, was spotted in Switzerland conducting some kind of banking transaction.
Ah you're hitting all the right buttons there! I absolutely loved reading it, still chuckling to myself.
60%? Impossible!
The government would never violate your rights they are there to protect you.
Vaccines are safe as proven by the number of people they have killed.
If you are not committing a crime you don't have anything to hide don't worry about the NSA spying on you.
GMO's are safe as proven by the companies that have genetically engineered them.
These are all undisputed proven facts don't question them!
What are you trying to stir up here? lol
The distance from the earth to the moon has been measured with a odometer. It is exactly between 230,100 miles and 252,088 depending on the orbit of the moon and the place from the earth you are.
Man has landed on the moon, Hollywood has produced pictures of that landing to prove it to you.
As recently discovered, sneezes propagate through telepathy.
The act of sneezing brings a sudden influx of blood to the brain, flooding the frontal and parietal lobes and forcibly energizing most of the dormant neural nodes. The generated pressure is released with a psychic wave, expanding in all directions. Such a wave is likely to resonate with other human brains in the vicinity, stimulating pressure there and eventually 'echoing' in a chain reaction of successive sneezes.
Now engineers are working on tools and methods to focus and refine sneezes, so they can be used to precisely and efficiently communicate thoughts and, as an example of a likely application, quickly raise alarms over a large area.
While physicists are looking for the First Sneeze, the original wave of brute thought that originated all following sneezes and possibly kickstarted human consciousness.
You've got the beginnings of a great story there I think! What is a fake fact without the fake science to back it up?
I'm just chuckling to myself about the idea of a group of early hominids all sneezing to warn each other about predators.
a fun fact I've recently come across is; the time it takes for a plant to form a single leaf is the same amount of time it takes a snail to cross a 30ft bridge in gail force winds.
another fun fact I've found is; the word spectacles actually came from the medieval days where bare knuckle fighting was a prestigious sport and victors were deemed to hold special powers. When victorious fighters eventually died, their fans would fight over parts of their body to adorn their mantle pieces to show off to guests. The most valuable part of the fighter were his testicles which one super fan wore on his eyes. This later became a trend called the Spesticle. Through the modernisation of the English language we now have what are known as spectacles.
A recent study has shown that there is intelligent life on the sun. These Sun people are not happy with Earthlings and are threatening to " Put our lights out ".
Clowns are an endangered species, increasingly poached for their noses. Thankfully, a breeding program is working hard to keep the species at a healthy population.
A perfectly rounded fake fact. That would make those clown sightings from last year very rare!
My pancreas burns with jealousy for your rare moment of witness!
Perhaps the most feared creature in South Africa's Kruger National Park, the bloodthirsty Kruger Goat is responsible for more human deaths every year than Malaria.
oh I love this! reminds me of the drop bears in Australia.
Recent discoveries show that the celestial bodies are not actually round. They are in fact, normally more square, however the distortion of gravity through spacetime creates a spherical illusion, causing them to appear round when viewed from our position in the solar system.
The plastic tips on shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
