Here's a question for you Zidane. "Did you know that someone's posted many of these before, but you added a few new ones?" ;) 700 times in a hour? I wore headphones for four hours straight when watching Evangelion! Ewww.... *runs to clean ears* And yes I did try to lick my elbow and it is impossible.

Lady Z (no not you Zekke - the other one [img]smile.gif[/img] ) - I'm very interested to find out where you got these 'facts'

You see - I afraid that I don't believe about half of them - sad but true

But some of them are pretty funny anyway ;) "twit" [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Whether you can lick your elbow depends on how long your tongue is, surely? I bet Gene Simmons could :eek:

Well, I did try, and uh, what area would be considered your elbow, cause I got damn close. ;)
