I've been to the moon.
I've been intimate with every member of the Spice Girls.
I've actually caught a fart in a windstorm.
I rowed across the Pacific Ocean in a bathtub for sushi in 1992.
Mike Tyson didn't have his lisp before he made me real mad in 1988.
I invented the letter Q.
I once seen Rev set a highmark no other Doo, Poo or AC could touch with a 16 year old riding it.

One of these facts is true, but which one?:)

Read this on FB so it has to be true. The trade name ski-doo was orginally intended to be called ski-dog but a typo at the time was made and the current name stuck..??

The bombardier bettle(genius Brachinus) stores two harmless chemicals in special chambers in its abdomen.When it feels threatened, the chemicals are released into a second chamber and mix with an enzyme, resultig in a violent chemical reaction and the release of considerable heat(up to 212 F or 100C) from its anus.

Likely the same way truckers don't get hurt after the" all you can eat" chili special at the Flying J. Doesn't hurt them, just every living thing around them.

it's true....
The Ski-Doo was originally intended to be named the "Ski-Dog" because Bombardier meant it to be a practical vehicle to replace the dogsled for hunters and trappers. By an accident, a painter misinterpreted the name and painted "Ski-Doo" on the first prototype.

It's a little known fact that in 1967 Chuck drank a barrel of unrefined crude oil, the subsequent energy boost that oil gave him allowed him to run at near the speed of light to a little town called Valleyview where he noticed he was thirsty. He stopped and squeezed three drops of water out of a stone which was more than enough to quench his thirst and make him happy. He then pleasured every woman in town (and accidentally a few men) before running back to Texas. Nine months later I was born, coincidence? Maybe, but we'll never know.
