scientifically men really are fatheads and women really are dense.
The male brain has more fat, probably evolutionary (men are built for combat)
Though the amounts of gray and white matter vary between the sexes, overall they have the same amount of matter, the female brain is denser.

Hi there, this is my first post!

It is impossible for a human to lick their own elbow (without resorting to amputation).

Oops, that's two facts.

Arrrgh now that's three facts. There are too many facts in this post! Dowp now there are five - how do I stop?!

I think you're in the clear as "There are too many facts in this post!" is an opinion. That renders the "now there are five" false. Congrats. You're off the hook.

Au, chemistry's abbreviation for gold, is from the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora.

Actually, it's from the Latin for gold, aurum.

But The History Channel sounded so convincing...

Yes, the chemical symbol Au for Gold was taken from the latin word, Aurum, meaning "shining dawn."

Aurora is the ancient Roman goddess of the dawn.

As you can see, the two are very closely related.

That's not true! I have a friend who can (I'll try to get a picture as proof). His tongue is a bit longer than usual though which may explain it.

It is, however, impossible to kiss your own elbow.

The ancient Greeks believed that to kill a dolphin constituted an act of murder. They also considered the pursuit of frivolous lawsuits purely for financial gain a capital crime.

In Somalia, a standard method of trial is to have the defendant burn his tongue with a hot iron and then have an imam inspect the wound.

In 2006, military spending amounted to $1400 per person. Social services spending (Federal only) amounted to $3700 per person. NASA spending amounted to about $200 per person. My government salary amounted to 1/30 of a cent per person (hey...stop being cheap!!!!! ). Hollywood revenues were about $70 per person (not just movie tickets and dvd rentals/purchases, every time you bought something you saw advertised during a movie, a percentage of what you paid for the popcorn, etc). Source---lots of googling.

Monkeys eats Banana.

The largest toothed carnivores to have ever existed are the sperm whales. In the 1800's specimans 90 feet long and weighing 120 tons were not uncommon. Sort of makes the T-rex's 45 feet and 5 tons look pathetic in comparison.
