the only thing that site’s missing to make it look less trustworthy is a

I don’t care if it’s trustworthy - their facts are fun to read (even if they aren’t facts).

For example:

According to statistics, Australian women are most likely to have sex on the first date.

Women who went to college are more likely than high school dropouts to enjoy both the giving and receiving of oral sex.

Bryan Hopkins, a former marine, was able to board the aircraft carrier USS Constellation using an old ID card, and a uniform he found in a rubbish bin. And spent several weeks on board without being discovered. He didn’t bother hiding (in the way that, say, a illicit stowaway on a passenger liner might need to), he just ate, used the gym and bunked down with the regular crew.

The deception was only discovered after someone phoned the Navy office to tip them off.

Ice always melts at 32 F, but water does not always freeze at 32 F. It must freeze onto something. However, at -40 F, water freezes spontaneously. If you poured a cup of water out of a window with the air temperature outside at -40 F, the water would freeze before it struck the ground.

The sexual ones above are also to be found on other websites like this. Dunno if that makes them more believable or not. They’re still fun, I think.

edit: eh, seems to have to be boiling water, and even then it doesn’t ‘freeze’. it turns to a powder or some kinda vapor. terrible quality youtube videos ftw

@Xilarating

Nice ‘n’ straight vertically.

[DansonDelta40]

If I am not allowed to talk about sex anymore, I want you guys to stop comparing your dicks immediately!

[Xilarating]

@Bolteh

Are you left handed?

nah, i’m a righty.

it’s been like that for as long as i can remember

(only when …ehh… excited. obvi)

@DansonDelta40

not complaining! i’ve read that it can help getting a girl off. /shrug
everybody’s different i guess lol

edit: whoops - i read comparing as complaining. stupid not sleeping

[Dr_Strangelove]

Even cooler fact:

On average, between the ages of 17-60 men think about sex 50 times a day.

[Someonerandm]

Only 50 times? And how do they measure that?

[gugamilare]

Did you realize that was Dr. Strangelove who said that?

[Dr_Strangelove]

No joke that time, it’s an actual fact.

[gugamilare]

Source?

[DeleteThis]

Well actually it’s 11-60

[CatzEyes93]

You know I closed a thread that was originally created to discuss sex. I really hope this [COLOR=‘Red’]FACT-GEMS Topic does not go down that road too close.

[DansonDelta40]

So, are we still allowed to share fact gems with each other, as long as they aren’t related to sex? Or are there any other topics besides sex you would like to prohibit from discussion?

[Deadline99]

Fact: Danson is pushing it.

[CatzEyes93]

sex related facts are ok… but lets not let it digress into an extreme descriptive of the act is all I am concerned about.

[DansonDelta40]

On a totally unrelated side-note: How about some facts about Freedom of Speech ?

EDIT: Never fear, Catz! Sexually explicit content is to be viewed as pornography and thus perfectly legitimate to be censored on a site that has no age-protection.
