AHGHGHG THAT IS CRAZY!!!!

My mom told me that cockroaches can not expell gas (fart or burp) and if they get gas they will explode.

[gini]

Ahhh, Zippy Kat is back, bringing reason and sanity to the board.

Excuse me, I have to go now - I have a serious crick in my neck from trying to lick my elbow.

And yeah, Phred, I haven't sat on a copier either.

Zippy, how is Miz Sophie?

Hugs from Gini and Rascal

[Kfamr]

...yeah ... my neck hurts too.

[Ann]

Oh, those were great!!! Thanks for sharing :)

And yes, I too am guilty of trying to lick my elbow LOL...

I heard that for seagulls and rats..my bro said he was gonna give them an Alkaseltzer (sp?) tablets and see..hes so mean :o

[Karen]

Okay - the one about your eyeballs popping out if you keep your eye open when you sneeze is false!

See:
http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_304.html

As an "allergic person" I have sneezed a LOT in my life - and have never, by the way, busted a rib. Maybe you have to have osteporosis AND sneeze really hard ...

And I DID lick my elbow. The inside of my elbow is still my elbow, right? I couldn't reach the outside, but I could reach the inside of my elbow!

Hah!

The insurance office I worked for had mice and/or rats so the girls left dishes of soda pop out for them to drink because they heard mice and rats couldn't burp. The mice outsmarted them and didn't drink the soda pop but sure enjoyed the candy the girls thought they had hidden in their desk drawers.

I haven't tried to lick my elbow. Just for the record; I don't want to touch the end of my nose with my tongue either. :eek: :D

Zippy, how is Miz Sophie?

Bringing reason and *whispers* sanity!?! :D LOL

Miz Sophie..... *shakes head* Miz Sophie, Miz Sophie, Miz Sophie. :D ;) As ornery as ever of course! lol She tries so very hard to be good--it just doesn't always work!

She has figured out that the carrots are kept in the fridge, so now every time the fridge door opens, she thinks she ought to have one. She runs circles around my feet and (if I don't give her one) grunts and head butts me. :rolleyes: Spoiled? Nah...not my bun! lol :D

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!!!
I stayed up way too late working on it last night! lol

It's a fairly big file even though I tried to compress it--I'm worried that it loads too slow. Hope it doesn't give anyone trouble--I may try to work with it some more this afternoon & see if I can get it to load faster.

We have dsl, so no problem here LOL:D

[krazyaboutkatz]

Great facts and I also tried to lick my elbow. Thanks for sharing.:)

[Sam's My Baby]

I told my brother that it was impossible to lick your elbow, and he tried, and amazingly, he was able to do it!:eek: :eek: He must have a really long tongue......:eek:

[lynnestankard]

It's not my neck, but my shoulder....I I think it popped when I tried to twist my arm backward!!! :p

[Crikit]

Okay so does the fact that I tried to lick not one but both elbows make me even stranger then it did before?

Well, like I said, I can lick the inside bend of my elbow. "I" consider that my elbow, but Paul says that they mean the outside corner.

And so either the secret is that I'm built peculiarly, or that no-one else thought of the inside bend being their elbow!

[Logan]

Head Bunny Lady......I fear that the "inside" is not the catch. Because I just pushed up my sleeves and tried it. I, too, can lick the inside of my elbow.......but not that funny bone.....even though I am truly laughing at all the replies on this thread!!! LOL!!!

I have NEVER sat on a copier either!!! :eek: That would NOT be a pretty sight!!!! :D

[gini]

Geez, I almost cracked a rib trying to lick the "inside" of my elbow.

I am getting too old for this stuff! In the meantime, Rascal is sitting here looking at me and saying "What exactly is it that you are trying to do?"
