Game Time

It's time to play everybody's favorite game of fact or bull...crap, bullcrap, yes, that's it. Here we go.

1. V-formation flying avians only fly in odd numbers, regardless of symmetry.

2. Caffeine, in its crystalline form, can be used as an explosive.

3. 13 people in the US die every year from nasal complications due to smelly shoes.

4. Ketchup's acidity allows it to 'eat' through aluminum foil.

5. Kansas seceded from the Union in 1968, but then changed its mind.

Tell me what you think in a comment or something.

1. Definitely not true. How would a flock ever increase? It'd have to be by twos, and everybody knows that there's no such thing as a bird marriage.
2. Also not true. Caffeine has no crystalline form. It's actually a powder, or sometimes a vapourous plasma.
3. False. There's no "complications," nasally speaking, coupled with unsavoury-scented footwear. It's very simple: People smell 'em, and they friggin' die, you heartless bastard.
4. Half-true, half-false. Ketchup cannot "eat" anything, even if you put it in quotation marks. Who's ever heard of a ketchup getting a stomach ache? Have you?
5. Grammatically false. The word is "seceded." Kansas seceded from the Union in that year, but has never been recorded as reunseceding. Also, the possessive form of "it" does not include an apostrophe.

Cheers.

Ah, well I fixed it. And caffeine does have a crystalline form, though it's indefatigably tiny. I'm not surprised you were unaware of the structure beyond the powdered form, though you did have the plasma right. Also, I have to ask...reunseceding? Is that like antidisestablishmentarianism? Wouldn't unseceding be returning to the union and reunseceding be seceding again? Oh, and sorry for the spelling typo, you know how it is when the gunfire here at bridle trails gets out of hand...

They all sound pretty crappy. But if I were Kansas, I would totally secede and take it back, just because I could.
