Wow, we're betting 1000 on our responses, because I agree with all of you! CRAP FACT (by the way, most of your stool is made up of dead gut bacteria and sloughed off intestinal cells - which are just like skin cells, but more plentiful since the total surface area of the intestinal is about the size of a tennis court) CRAP 'squeek'

Howdy, FoCers! Hope you had a nice Mother's Day. It's hot hot hot here (well, 90 is hot for us in the Northwest) today, but I'm keepin' my cool and bringing you more FoC items! Here are the current questions:
- Toenails grow faster than fingernails.
- Dust found in the average household is mostly made up of dead skin.
- The word take has more definitions than any other word in the English language.
Well, I found this picture and it's actually one of the tamer ones I discovered of long nails.
Judge for yourself which you think grew faster! Okay, you said: 1 | Fact | 3 | | Crap | 12 | 2 | Fact | 14 | | Crap | 1 | 3 | Fact | 2 | | Crap | 13 | Here's what the Calendar Creeps have to say:
- It's
! "Fingernails grow four times faster than toenails -- and they grow faster in warm weather. Men's fingernails grow faster than women's. The longer the fingernail, the faster the nail growth. The longest fingernails on record measured 20 feet long and belonged to a man in India who grew them for 48 years without cutting them." - It's FACT! "The average human sheds 1/5 ounce of skin per week, which dries and collects to form dust. In fact, about 80% of the particles seen floating in a sunbeam is dead human skin -- the favorite food source for microscopic mites, whose excretions are a primary cause of allergies and asthma. Dust mites love warm, moist environments like beds. Ohio State University scientists estimate that up to 10% of a two-year-old pillow is comprised of dead dust mites and their excrement." EEW!!!
- It's
! "Take is fourth. the word set has the greatest number of definitions in the Oxford English Dictionary, with 464. Run is in second place with 396. Rounding out the top ten are go with 368, take with 343, stand with 334, get with 289, turn with 288, put with 268, fall with 264, and strike with 250."
Kudos to Tess who knew that set was the most well-defined word and Ophiliasgrandma who came close with run. Also, here's to Konamouse who knows WAYYYYY too much about dead skin cells and where they show up! Okay, here are some new ones for you:
The average iceberg weighs 20 tons. Slugs have two noses. Mark Twain was the first American author to publish a novel composed on a typewriter. FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Crap, having seen icebergs, they are so much bigger than that, something like huge buildings Crap, don't know unless people are refering to their tentacles as noses Fact and remembering way way back I think it is the Aventures of Tom Sawyer, and I think I remember an English teacher saying that it was the first typed book published. Now I am probably wrong because the older I get the more the memories get muddled.

Happy Thursday, FoCers! I'm a bit distracted from work today because I have to go to court to fight a ticket for not having my license plate bolted to my front bumper. If that intrigues you, you can read all about it (and the outcome when I get home from court) at my car blog. Anyway, questions at hand are:
- Does the average iceberg weigh 20 tons?
- Do slugs have two noses?
- Was Mark Twain the first American author to publish a novel composed on a typewriter?
You said:1 | Fact | 2 | | Crap | 7 | 2 | Fact | 4 | | Crap | 5 | 3 | Fact | 8 | | Crap | 1 | The Calendar Crazies say. . .
- It's
"If you could weigh the average iceberg, it'd be more like 20,000,000 tons. In Newfoundland, iceberg ice is now "harvested" for bottled water and vodka production. The iceberg ice business is in its infancy." - It's
"They actually have four noses -- and no backbone. They move by using a very long and strong "foot." Slugs are vegetarians and belong to the scientific classification Phylum Mollusca -- which means they are closer to the octopus than they are to the insect family." - It's FACT! "At the time when Samuel Clemens -- best known as Mark Twain -- penned his famous stories and books, most authors wrote their compositions in longhand. Twain embraced the new technology, and used the machine to write The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and A Connecticut Yankee in Kin Arthur's Court."
Okay, here's a couple more:
- There are two kinds of chicken combs.
- In the original French version of "Cinderella," the heroine is given fur slippers from her fairy godmother, not glass.
FACT or CRAP? You decide!
