It's common for pregnant women to dream they've given birth to an animal. According to a report by the New York Post, Winston Churchill's parrot is still alive. Charlie, a 104-year-old blue and gold female macaw, lives in southeast England and likes to curse Hitler. In the first century, Pliny the Elder claimed that mustard would improve lazy housewives. All of these "facts" and more can be found in the Mr. Smarty Pants Archive.

According to one scientist, if one farted consistently for 6,009 months, there would be enough gas to match the force of a nuclear bomb. Insert joke about gassy 500.75 year old mate/SO here. PS Fun link! Work? What work?

It has been said that koala bear fingerprints are virtually indistinguishable from those of humans, so much so that they could be confused at a crime scene. Seriously, there's some good stuff in there.

The original "Texans" football team was the Dallas Texans, which is now the Kansas City Chiefs. The Austin Texans were a semi-pro team of the early Eighties.

Heh! Forget the Dallas Cowboys?...think there are truths in his words, yet not all completely true. No, that line is true. I have a hard time going along with a couple of the things he writes, but this I know is fact.

Hello. I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is: No. --"The Springfield Files"
