[~wildangel~]

Which one isn't true?

I'll add another couple every day...or whenever someone guesses the fake fact!

A dime has 118 ridges around the edge

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear

A crocodile can't stick his tounge out

A dragonfly has a life span of only 24 hours

http://pages.prodigy.net/bestsmileys1/emoticons3/wolf009.gif

[RosieWolf]

hmmmmmm.. i'm guessing the dragonfly is wrong, cuz i seem to recall somewhere that they live for several weeks at least.. unless a bird or frog gits em first.. laffin

what do i win?? hehehe.. i'm in florida, so that means i get 2 votes in november right?? :lol

[~wildangel~]

You got it Rosie:clap

A dragonfly actually has a life span of 2-week to 2-month

:lol

This is fun!:lol

[~wildangel~]

A "jiffy" is actually 1/100th of a second

A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes

A snail can sleep for 3 years

Almonds are a member of the pear family

[AWPrime]

I guess:


A snail can sleep for 3 years


It seems like a waste if time.

[~wildangel~]

Nope, waste of time it is, it's still a fact:wave

Weird huh?

Keep guessing:)

[PlayCrackTheSky]

If im not mistaken a Jiffy if justa expression so id have to say that is false

[~wildangel~]

Nope...try again!

It's an expression but it really is a jiffy:lol

:wave

[RosieWolf]

my first guess was the shark one, cuz fish dont have eyelids to 'blink' with, but a shark does have a protective covering which covers its eyes when it feeds or attacks.. dont know if its actually thot of as an 'eyelid' tho.. hmmmmm..

k i'll stick with that.. cuz i do think the almond is a member of the pear family.. :)

huggggggglez

[~wildangel~]

LOL Nope, but very close to how your going to find the wrong one, keep thinking of the sentence you just wrote....:wink


But you are right that fish don't have eyelids so they can't close their eyes.

I actually have a 100 gallon saltwater tank and a 40 gallon freshwater, fish are awesome creatures
:wave

[Xstcher]

:question The almonds?? :wink

[~wildangel~]

Close, but what about them:lol:lol

[~wildangel~]

[RosieWolf]

ok so almonds are not in the pear family?.. they are jes a nut or a tree ?? lol

[~wildangel~]

Yep! You got it, half right anyway!

Almonds are not of the pear family, but they ARE a member of the PEACH family!:clap :lol

Good job!

I think your on a roll:clap

Ok...

An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's very small brain

Cats have over 100 vocal sounds, dogs only have about 10

Butterflys taste with their feet

Pelicans can swim into the ocean and survive about 5 minutes underwater while catching food

[PlayCrackTheSky]

The Pelican one is false

[RosieWolf]

nope the pellican one is true, its the butterfly one that's false.. they taste with their little mouths.. lol

[PlayCrackTheSky]

No the butterfly one is true!

[King Solomon]

It's the cats, it's ALWAYS the cats :smash that and my dog makes way more than 10 different sounds :woof

[~wildangel~]

Duo got it! While a pelican CAN swim down, it cannot go under water, only his beak can be submerged (and probobly not for 5 whole minutes):wink

Good job Duo:clap

Just guessing! :lol

[Xstcher]

No -- hold on, it's gotta be this one...

"Dreampt" is the only english word ending in "mt"

because of the way you spelt "dreampt" and that doesn't end in 'mt'

[~wildangel~]

Nope, dreamt is spelled like that, i guess:lol

[~wildangel~]

I checked to make sure, yep, dreamt is spelled like dreamt:cool

[Xstcher]

Hmmmmm.... I'll go back to my first guess then

February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon

:question

[~wildangel~]

Nope, and that is really the only month that never had a moon! It only had 28 days, and the moon ended up in march....no moon:cool

[PlayCrackTheSky]

the domesticated animal one?

[~wildangel~]

Duo, your hot! Your hot! Your burning hot! Yep, you got it!:clap

Actually it is like this...

In the last 4,000 years NO new animals have been domesticated...none at all!

Female mosquitos are the only ones that feed on blood, not the males so that has to be the wrong answer :smash

More like when the chain is refusing service, so I have to get myself going using my feet. It mostly happens in the winter, when the frost sabotages the chain.

I think it's this one..... for some reason I have it planted in my brain that the blue whale is a mammal, so then it's not a fish! :question :cool
