While sitting down on a chair: motion your right foot in a clockwise circular manner.
Now, without looking at your foot, use the index finger on your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.

Did your foot change direction?

yup, it changed direction.
I wonder who came up with this. They must of been bored.

I knew they change colour, but size..hmmm I always thought they were the same size. I thought that because our head grows, it gives the impression that our eyes grow too.

I don't want to triple post so I will add this here...

Did you know that one of the warning labels on a Canadian pack of cigarettes says..

Estimated Deaths in Canada, 1996
Murders-510
Alcohol-1,900
Car accidents-2,900
Suicides-3,900
Tobacco-45,000

WARNING
EACH YEAR, THE EQUIVALENT OF A SMALL CITY DIES FROM TOBACCO USE

That's a lot of people dying from suicides!

yeah I did know that, but it's always nice to hear it again



Man, some people must of been bored to come up with half of these facts.



an elevator operator in the Empire State Building fell, in an elevator, over 1000 feet down the shaft, and lived. apparently the cable coiled underneath the elevator, like a spring, and the elevator was a tight fit in the shaft, so there was an air pocket underneath
