This is awesome.
The only one I think I already knew was that Mel Blanc was allergic to carrots.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -
I knew the Wendy one, though it may have been from a similar list.... though I would like to see some Snopes links for a few of those
If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
I keep thinking about that pig...

10. A pig's **** lasts for 30 minutes.

#6 is slightly off. The origin is a New York Times article from the late 80's, which using the data they have is accurate, but it fails to count all the cats that hit the pavement, splatter, and are never taken to the vet.Gallo Ref 3.1 : Bryston 4b SST : Musical fidelity CD Pre : VPI HW-19

Are car horns one note, or a chord? I don't see how one note can be designated to a certain key... it must be a chord I guess. -
all cats involved in the making of this movie were injured.:p wonder who was throwing the cats off the buildings, and how many they had to throw before they came up with that % ?

I wouldn't say they're a "chord", but they're definitely multi-tonal. All a key is is a set of notes.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
Uh-oh...

So what you are saying is that we are stuck here on this silly little planet throwing cats' off roof tops, **** one handed stewardess and wondering why WE can't have 30 minute orgasms.

Reminds me of Monty Python's Galaxy Song! (<- mp3 link) :Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
