You got any? I'll start:
I have to wear sandals at the swim center. I'm double jointed in the elbow. In some South American language "Colgate" roughly translates to "go hang yourself". I've broken my arms three times. I hate spagetti sauce, syrup, and mustard.
Okay, time to spill your guts!

Uhh... I can spin my one hand/wrist around almost 360 degrees without twisting my body, I love b-ball and was team captian at my old school, I'm left handed, my favorite foods are hashbrowns, shepards pie and anything that has potaotoes really. I love lillies and yellow roses. I hate wearing slippers and skirts and dresses... And my hair is so stubborn it won't hold a curl even with half a bottle of hairspray.  |

I can make my tongue touch my nose, my chin and the middle of my cheeks. I have freckles on my arm that are perfectly aligned. I have random freckles on my fingertips that look like dirt. Stewardesses is the longest word typed with only the left hand. I have a random obsession with llamas and Stephen King. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.There are more plastic lawn flamingos in the US than real ones. Finally, I lost a toenail and it finally grew back LOL

they say everyone will eat at least one spider while they're sleeping in a lifetime. How gross. Despite what people usually think mild coffee has more caffeine than espresso so if you want to stay awake the thing to drink is mild coffee I have scary obsessions but I guess everyone already noticed My brain is dead so I can't think of nothing more right now |

What?! You can touch your tongue to your nose?! So can I!
You guys are so wierd.

The sentence "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the English language.
The shortest war in history was between Zanzibar and England in 1896. Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.
The longest word in the English language is 1909 letters long and it refers to a distinct part of DNA.
Cat's urine glows under a black light.
There are more chickens than people in the world.
No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple.
In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.

Seems quite a few folks are looking up their facts for this thread!  I'm not though right now because I'm being lazy. So I'll just state one about myself for now... It is WAY more difficult for me to gather the screenshots it takes to make a sims story than to write the text. Yet, while looking at those screenshots I gathered, the words seem to just flow from me as if by magic! ;D

I didn't use any searching for my facts. Uhh, one I looked up yesterday is the gelatin we use in food is pulled from the collagen cells in animals. One I learnt at school, aspartame started off being created as clothing starch. |

Those are interesting alright. Well I decided I would look up a few now: The average American/Canadian drinks about 600 sodas a year! It was once against the law to slam your car door in a city in Switzerland! There wasn't a single pony in the Pony Express, just horses! Honeybees have a type of hair on their eyes! |

-The medulla oblongota controls your breathing and CO2 levels in the blood. So it's impossible for someone to kill themselves by holding their breath or strangling themselves with their own hands.
-Footy PJs on carpet stairs are dangerous.

@ Jilly! Even her simself has an obsession with cake! I have pictorial proof I will revealing shortly. How are identical twins different?
One twin is always born healthier and bigger then the other because of the unbalanced distribution of nutrients during pregnancy. Some identical twins are actual mirror images of each other, e.g. one will be right-handed the other left or one is near sighted the other far sighted etc.

I have unusually sharp canine teeth. One of them especially looks like it was intentionally filed to look like a fang. (it wasn't) I actually convinced some freshman I was a vampire while I was in high school. I told him some goofy story, but when I showed him my fangs, he got a little pale. True Story!

That is very funny. My friend bought vampire teeth and you can't tell they're fake, and she looks like a vamp in the school photos... I think she may have convinced someone she's one... Hehe |
