Sorry, but this is a myth. The hair and fingernails don’t actually grow after death. They appear to grow because the skin retracts from dehydration and uncovers more of the tissue.

Useless fact: The body of the nerve cell that tells the muscles in your big toe to contract is located at the base of your spine. The axons of these nerve cells can reach over a meter in some adults.

Lemmings do not engage in mass suicidal dives off cliffs when migrating. They will, however, occasionally, and unintentionally fall off cliffs when venturing into unknown territory, with no knowledge of the boundaries of the environment. The misconception is due largely to the Disney film White Wilderness, which shot many of the migration scenes (also staged by using multiple shots of different groups of lemmings) on a large, snow-covered turntable in a studio. Photographers later pushed the lemmings off a cliff.

It is commonly claimed that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from the Moon. This is false.

Fair enough. Still it’s the foundation for superstitious peasants digging up corpses and thinking that their relatives have joined the ranks of the undead.

no it doesnt. .9 with a repitend doesnt exist. and only the limit as it repeats to infinity equals one not the number itself. [/quote]

.999…=x
10x=9.999…
10x-x=9x=9.999…-.999…=9
9x=9
x=1

The only man-made object visible from the moon is countingbeans’ penis.

False. 10x-x = 8.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999… = 9x

x = .99999999999999999999999

GTFO with your trick math.

…and 2xinfinity = infinity

But 2^infinity is a different infinity.

Infinity comes in different sizes.

I’d love to see the context where you’d use both those sentences apart from the 17th century and playing twenty questions respectively.

The longest palindrome is here - A 15,139 Word Palindrome (or Palindromic Sentence)

Go nuts.

Yeah, who says anything is visible from the moon when no one’s been on it?
