Thought I would share this, it was sent to me by a friend!

can be used as a substitute for

Blood plasma.

died of lung cancer.



So did the first ' Marlboro Man. '

The three most valuable brand names on earth: ?

Marlboro, Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order.

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

Okay, I lied about that being all ... here's a few more interesting facts -
