25 Things That Sound Too Crazy To Be True (but They Are!) by oluamid(m): 6:31pm On Jul 09, 2014 |
Although you might not believe most of them, these are 25 things that sound too crazy to be true, but they are! 25 Russia has a larger surface area than Pluto 24 Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire 23 France was still executing people by guillotine when Star Wars: A New Hope hit theatres 22 Nintendo was originally a trading card company 21 If the sun were the size of a white blood cell then the Milky Way Galaxy would be the size of the United States 20 There are more stars in space than there are grains of sand on every beach in the world 19 For every human on Earth there are 1.6 million ants 18 The total weight of all those ants, however, is about the same as all the humans 17 On Jupiter and Saturn it rains diamonds (I've got to book the next flight to those planets ASAP) 16 Ten percent of all the photos ever taken were taken in the last 12 months 15 Shakespeare made up the name "Jessica" for his play Merchant of Venice (hmmm. Always thought it was an English/X-tian name) 14 Your chances of being killed by a vending machine are actually twice as large as your chance of being bitten by a shark 13 Nowhere in the Humpty Dumpty Nursery Rhyme does it say that Humpty Dumpty is an egg 12 Armadillos almost always give birth to quadruplets 11 Scotland's national animal is the unicorn 10 Apparently there are more fake flamingos in the world than real flamingos 9 John Tyler, the 10th president of the US, was born in 1790. He has a grandson that is alive today. 8 A strawberry is NOT a berry 7 A banana IS a berry. (imagine, bananaberry ) 6 There is enough water in Lake Superior to cover all of North and South America in one foot of liquid 5 An octopus has three hearts (Useful for cardiac arrest patients - Just switched to a spare heart! ) 4 There are 10 times more bacteria in your body than actual body cells 3 There is only one country between North Korea and Norway 2 New York City is farther south than Rome, Italy 1 Maine is the closest US state to Africa Culled from: http://list25.com/25-things-that-sound-too-crazy-to-be-true-but-they-are/2/ |

OgidiOlu3: Amazing! How in the world is number 9 possible?It is possible sir. Let us try this simple mathematics. 2014-1790=224years, assuming his child lived for 100years and gave birth to his last child (who is this grandson) at the age of 50years. That means the grandson could be 224-100-50=74years by now. How do you see that? 1 Like |
