Some of these are a bit hard to accept...For example...

#7...21,024,000 are sent to the hospital for "dog bites"?

Or how about #2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button.

I am only aquainted with Adam, as one who didn't have a belly button, but Alfred???? Not sure if that is true...

And if #12 is true, of the 40,000 Americans injured by toilets each year, how many are you seeing, as a nurse, Sman?

And this one-

# 20. Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State Anthem.

I have a hard time believing that a black man owns the rights of a state anthem of a Southern state without some sort of uproar....[i know that it sound racial, but it wasn't meant to be.] <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
