Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. (Since Venus is normally associated with women, what does this tell you!) Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin! The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. So did the first " Marlboro Man. " Walt Disney was afraid of mice! Pearls dissolve in vinegar The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order. It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but, not downstairs. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

catgate Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. (Since Venus is normally associated with women, what does this tell you!)It tells me that the association is a lot of hogwash. If it were true, then Venus would alternate viciously between clockwise and anti clockwise, without even the slightest indication that it was going to do it , nor why.

andsome Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 It's obvious as regards the tooth brush. Our toilet is in a separate room to the bath, shower and wash basin, and we would NEVER dream of dipping our toothbrushes into the toilet, so we don't care about that one.
