    nope you didnt notice it cause its not true, in the redneck store when willis goes to get the sword the yellow square clock on the wall shows the time as 10:06 ish. when he is walking down the stairs two of them show 4:20 but another one on the same wall shows 12:00.

    just to let everyone know the pulp fiction clock thing is not true.

    I beg to differ!


    Here is what I have...

    1. A rat can last longer without water than a camel.

    2. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself.

    3. The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle.

    4. A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.

    5. A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate.

    6. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.

    7. A 2 X 4 is really 1-1/2" by 3-1/2".

    8. During the chariot scene in "Ben Hur," a small red car can be seen in the distance (and Heston's wearing a watch).

    9. On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily! (That explains a few mysteries....)

    10. Sherlock Holmes NEVER said, "Elementary, my dear Watson."

    11. Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood.

    12. The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000.

    13. There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple and silver. (Repost but I dont feel like re-numbering)

    14. Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them.

    15. The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.

    16. If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death. (Who was the sadist who discovered this??)

    17. Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down so you could see his moves. That's the opposite of the norm.

    18. The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA."

    19. The original name for butterfly was flutterby.

    20. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb. (Repost again...)

    21. The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola.

    22. Roses may be red, but violets are indeed violet.

    23. By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannot sink into quicksand.

    24. Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.

    25. Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.

    26. An old law in Bellingham, Washington, made it illegal for a woman to take more than three steps backwards while dancing!

    27. The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries.

    28. The glue on Israeli postage is certified kosher.

    29. Bats always turn left when exiting a cave!
