    Are they all true?

    Some of them sound way off base to me, but I'm betting all the answers are true. Some will really surprise me if so!

    I'm pretty sure some are false but I don't have time to go into too much detail. I've read that coca cola would be clear without the coloring.

    I still question a couple of them. The animal one might be true for mammals? I know that there are reptiles such as chamelions with swiveling eyes that can see behind them without moving their head, and there are insects that can. Spiders have eyes on the back of their head . Also I had a hard time believing the green cola one, so on some searches it seems that is an urban legend. It's said to be false here on this "Fake Fact" list:

    Most of the rest of them seemed fairly plausible to me. I knew the feet one to be true through my medical transcription

    I've been told all of my life that ostriches don't stick their heads in the ground.

    You know, they say the average person eats TWELVE spiders a year!
    I've been BOO'd!

    I wondered that too. If he didn't have a belly button, then that means he didn't have an umbilical cord. How would he get his nutrients?
