For a start: i *CAN* lick my elbow. I have a long tongue and have good flexibility. The first 'match' was invented in 1805 the first lighter, 1823. The phrase 'bless you' has nothing to do with your heart, it was coined during the bubonic plague. Yo-yo's were actually never weapons, this legend originated from the James Bond movie Octopussy. The thing about airborne particles and your toothbrush was disproved.

All i can say is: LOL, NUB

the toothbrush thing was proven to be very true on an episode of Mythbusters and the fecal particulates go way beyond six feet reaching place way outside of the bathroom. i don't think you have anything to back up what your saying. so i could just as easily say that your wrong and he's right and your tounge could only be long enough to touch the backside your teeth as far as we know. there's a difference between and elbow and an asshole. your being the latter.
all i can say is: stfu, n00b

Had alot of interesting information.

According to Genesis 1:20-22, the chicken came before the egg.

My objective opinion on this is, Birds were supposed to have evolved from reptiles, and reptiles have been laying eggs for millions of years, so i would assume the egg came first, really.

This is Genesis 1:20-22 for the other side of the debate....

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged foul after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl mulitpy in the earth.
