Fewer people die from E. coli, Salmonella, and mad cow disease
contracted at fast food restaurants than die from choking on McDonald's
Chicken McNuggets each year.
Every year approximately 40 children die while "drowning" in ball
pits (those pools filled with small plastic balls), making it the fourth
leading cause of accidental death among toddlers, behind car accidents,
traditional drowning, and electrocution.
While there are many stereotypes, the average length of a man's penis
is 5 to 6 inches when fully erect, regardless of race or ethnic
background. One study did indicate, however, that men who use
wheelchairs on a daily basis have unusually large penises, averaging
nearly 8 inches when fully erect. Further research is needed to
determine why this anomaly occurs.
Dragons, thought for centuries to be mythical, have always baffled
historians because of eye-witness accounts dating pre-Renaissance.
These writings of flying, fire-breathing lizards (primarily in England
and Scandinavia) may have merit after all. In 2003, x-ray
satellite photos from the North Pole were purported to exist showing
large fossils of winged, lizard-shaped creatures under the polar ice
cap. Unfortunately, these satellite photos won't be public for up
to 17 years due to "classified" national security reasons.
One animal, the North American Muskrat, was recently discovered to be
able to communicate using scent exclusively. The rodent can emit
up to 200 different scents that can communicate everything from predator
warnings to offers of sexual activity. Scientists have identified
only 17 of the nearly 200 communications messages expected. On a
side note, the North American Muskrat is also the only mammal besides
humans and whales known to mate for life, which could further indicate
the importance of communication in mating.
Approximately 70-100 deaths occur each year after allergic reactions
to licking stamps or envelopes. Most of these reactions occur
after licking large numbers, most commonly graduation or wedding
invitations.
Melting 10,000 pennies ($100.00) will provide enough copper to the
worth between $120 and $150 depending on current copper prices.
Of the 22 vitamins and minerals required to survive, 18 of them are
present in milk chocolate. The human body could survive
exclusively on milk chocolate and strawberries if necessary.
The most common cause of fires that occur on July 4th each year isn't
fireworks, it's barbecue grills placed too close to homes.
The most common complaint reported by Gateway and Dell Tech Support
is that the computer "won't turn on" right out of the box. The
most common solution is plugging in the power cord.
One poll indicated that 90% of women who have shoulder length hair or
longer will cut their hair "significantly" within 30 days before or
after their wedding. Another poll indicated that 80% of men who
are currently engaged to be married mentioned "her hair" as the first
thing that attracted them to their fiancée.
A survey of married men in their 20s indicated that "not enough sex"
was the #1 problem with their marriage. Married men in their 30s
cited financial instability as the #1 marital problem. Married
women in their 20s said financial insecurity was #1, while married women
in their 30s indicated "not enough sex" was the most critical issue.
The preceding list of "True Lies" was made up entirely by me, SunFyre.
I'm compiling this list of true lies. These are lies. I'm
making them up. I assure you that any resemblance to truth is
coincidental.
I get lots of stuff from people that they swear is true, distributed by
email. They all claim to be filled with truth and insight, and many
are disputable. I'm interested to see if my true lies will
eventually make their way around the Internet. My goal is to have
someone that has never heard of SunFyre email them to my personal account.
If you received this link in an email, obviously you were duped.
The fact that you've read them all means that you either are a critical
thinker and wanted to get every detail before deciding, or you completely
stupid. Either way you probably have lots of stupid friends, so cut
and paste some of your favorite True Lies and send them to your stupid
friends, along with a link to

McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are a delicious treat. I have no
idea how many people have ever choked on a McNugget. Please don't
sue me.
I've never heard of any child or adult dying in a ball pit. I
assume they are perfectly safe. Please don't sue me.
I have never studied the length of any man's penis. (Well one man's I
guess.)
I think there is a North American Muskrat, but I'm not sure.
They probably stink.
I've never heard of anyone dying from licking envelopes except Susan
on Seinfeld.
There is very little copper in pennies.
I have no idea how many people call Gateway or Dell with that
particular problem, please don't sue me.
My wife got her long hair cut just before we got married... it never
came back. My sister has long hair and is engaged... we'll see.
The survey of married people was me and my wife. She's turning
30 next week, so I exaggerated the wants of 30's women, wishful
thinking.
