Just got this in an e-mail. Can't vouch for the truth of any of it, but still...

Hitler ordered tanks to be made in Michigan and told the company to not worry about sending them to Germany, he'd pick them up on his way through Detroit.

In September 1994, Skydiving student Sharon McClelland amazingly survived a 10,000-foot plunge in Ontario, by falling into a marsh when her parachute malfunctioned. She struggled to her feet and rushed to her instructor Kevin Killin - to apologize - because she had not followed procedures to open her backup chute.

George Washington carried a portable sundial.

In the movie "Dances with Wolves", not one animal was injured during its filming, although there was a horse named "Dutch" who came down with a nasty case of the runs.

Before the first landing on the moon (Apollo 11), NASA calculated the amount of dust falling on the moon each year. Estimating the age of the moon to be 4.5 billion years, it was figured that between 54 feet and 900 feet of dust would be on the moon. The 1st lunar landing module was equipped with huge landing pads to land on all of this soft dust. However, when the astronauts landed they found virtually no dust at all. Neil Armstrong's 1st words after actually stepping on the moon were "It's SOLID!" This indicated that the moon is likely to be much younger than thought, possibly only a few thousand years old.

Pound for pound a hamburger costs more than a brand new car.

Ben and Jerry's send the waste from making ice cream to local pig farmers to use as feed. Pigs love the stuff, except for one flavour: Mint Oreo.

Gary Burgoff (Radar on MASH) always kept his left hand out of the view of the camera, either in his pocket or under a clipboard, because his left had is deformed.

The "T" in Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek) stands for Tiberius.

The inside of a McDonald's french fry box is striped yellow and white because it gives the impression that there are more fries in the container than there really are. McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef (only chicken, mutton and fish).

Alexander the Great claimed that when he and his army were in India, they saw a 100-foot dragon come out of a cave and make a terrible noise.

Ronald Reagan was the only president to have ever worn a Nazi uniform. (He wore it as an actor in a movie)

According to the book of Revelation, a world dictator (antichrist) will require everyone to receive the "mark of the beast" on their right hand or forehead in order to buy or sell. The computer microchip implant technology is nearly ready for this and banks want to move to a cashless system.


Mickey Mouse's ears are always turned to the front, no matter which direction his head is pointing.

Out of 1500 people, only 6 were saved from the water after the Titanic sank.

The blood depicted in the shower scene of the movie "Psycho" (The Alfred Hitchcock film) was really chocolate syrup.

In 1856 workmen digging a tunnel in France between Nancy and St. Dizier used gunpowder to blow up an enormous stone at Culmont. In doing so they discovered they had disturbed a live creature, which looked like a very large bat with a wingspan of 10 feet, 7 inches. The creature was alive and shook its wings but died soon thereafter. A naturalist well versed in palaeontology immediately identified it as a pterodactyl, a creature that supposedly has been extinct for millions of years.

Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.

Approximately 50 people associated with ex President Bill Clinton have died in mysterious and suspicious circumstances in the past several years. Many died in apparent suicides and airplane crashes.

One can see the stars during the day from the bottom of a well.

There were over 300 prophecies about Christ made hundreds of years before his life on earth, and he fulfilled all of them. The odds of fulfilling just 48 of those prophecies are one out of 000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Christ was also the only founder of a major religion to claim to be God. Others only claimed to have good teachings.

90% of Canada's population lives within 200 miles of it's border with the United States.

The Silicon Valley hospital in California USA offers free Internet domains and e-mail addresses for newborn babies.
