Number 3. Is that for real? Wow!
Let me guess. It's all those letter Us you guys dropped where you shouldn't have right? LOL.
Very cool! I had no idea about the Superman in Seinfield. Now I need to go back and watch for it. :)
Thx for stopping by!
ha i would have to make it a Friday 15 meme.
I love useless facs though
Great list! I remember hearing somewhere about the superman in Seinfeld but not many of the other ones :)
OUCH... OMG, a toothpick!
What the heck are they doing to choke on a toothpick!
Elle, you're probably right about the U that we American's drop from words such as colour. And why did we drop the U when we left in such letters as the L in would, could, should, the k in knife and knight...it's perplexing.
I've never been a Seinfeld fan but I'd heard that somewhere before, about the Superman.
LOL! Morgan, that's a really good question. Probably just walking around with them in their mouths, not paying attention to what they're doing, swallow and there you go.
There's you're lesson for how to choke on a toothpick...not that I've ever done so but it could happen that way...if you're a total dunce ;o)
Thanks for stopping by, everyone, I love reading all of your T13s too.
