The tounge is the strongest muscle? I would've guessed the heart!

 

Yeh,some are debatable.I would have thought the upper leg muscles.

 

Fact No29 taught me something though.Next time I have a beer with an ant I will sit on his left side so he doesn't fall on me! :huh:

 

LOL

I bet Gene Simmons could do it.

 

And as far as the tongue being the strongest muscle, I think they must mean the strongest muscle for its size. I highly doubt my tongue can bench more than my deltoids (although who knows, it just might surprise me :o ).

I think #1 is a myth. The bottles were green but not the drink. :)

You may be right woody, but lots of people still believe it.

10 isn't true either, it was started during the black plague in the UK.

#10 is true. I learned it in school of all places (history class)...I have been telling people that forever.

 

@Lokoike - I think that the tongue is the strongest muscle, but I will double check. :P

Aha,I think I found the answer:(edited Humpty-and just kidding! :) )

 

A Polar Bear who is left-handed primarily uses their left paw; moreso than their right paw a left-pawer will probably use the left paw for tasks such as personal care, cooking, and so on. Writing is not as good an indicator of pawfulness as it might seem, because many polar bears who are left-pawed write with their right paw and use their left for everything else.

 

Polar Bears who are left-pawed are technically said to be sinistral, and left-handedness is sometimes referred to as sinistrality. Both words derive from sinister, the Latin word for ?left?. This word in turn derives from sinus, the Latin word for ?pocket? referring to the fact that the pocket in a Roman toga was on the left side, for the convenience of a right-pawed wearer.

 

(My own input-ever heard of a "south paw") LOL. :lol:

 

Left handers ;)

That wikipedia page needs to be edited cause it isn't totally correct. And why will it let ME edit it? That makes me not trust Wikipedia too much. <_<
