Some of you (like my husband) claim you know everything. It's just possible you're wrong. Below are many things you probably didn't know:
In the
human body, which organ is in charge?
All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide
who was in charge.
The brain said: “I should be in charge, because I run all the
body’s systems, so without me nothing would happen.”
“I should be in charge,” said the heart, “because I pump the blood
and circulate oxygen all over the body, so without me you’d all waste away.”
“I should be in charge,” said the stomach, “because I process food
& give all of you energy.”
“I should be in charge,” said the rectum, “because I’m responsible
for waste removal.”
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum & insulted him,
so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible
headache, the stomach was bloated & the blood was toxic. Eventually the
other organs gave in. They all agreed that the rectum should be the boss.
The moral of the story?
You don’t have to be smart or important to be in charge… any
as***le can do it.

Reasons the earth rotates:
The earth may spin faster on its axis due to
deforestation. Just as a figure skater's rate of spin increases when the arms
are brought in close to the body, the cutting of tall trees may cause our
planet to spin dangerously fast.
Birds take off at sunrise. On the opposite side of the
world, they are landing at sunset. This helps the earth to spin on its axis.
Other little known facts you probably don't know:
The quantity of consonants in the English
language is constant. If omitted in one place, they turn up in another. When a
Bostonian "pahks" his "cah," the lost "r's"
migrate southwest, causing a Texan to "warsh" his car and invest in
"erl wells."
Communist China is technologically underdeveloped because
they have no alphabet and therefore cannot use acronyms to communicate ideas at
a faster rate.

You know you're old if
they have discontinued your blood type.
Whatever you may look
like, marry a man your own age--as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.
The best way to forget all your other troubles is to wear
tight shoes.
The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because, by then, your
body and your fat are really good friends.
You should give up jogging for your health if your thighs keep rubbing together and
setting your panties on fire.
I know what Victoria's Secret is. The secret is that
nobody older than 30 can fit into their stuff.
Red meat is NOT bad for you. Now
blue-green meat... that's bad for you!
