Well, many of my topics have been deleted, whether it's becasue the name was too long, or too many bold lettering or exclamation marks, so ive decided to make a new topic that will hopfully not be deleted. and its a game.
just post some interesting facts, then the next person rates it out of 5.
Example:
iFish:fish can fly! (thats not true, obviously)
Nqkoi1(hope you dont mind that i used your name): Not adequate enough! 2/5 for the ineresting part.
so i'll go first, and i'll post a couple, jsut cuz i started this thing
-crockroachs have teeth in their stomach
-a crockroach was taken to space and given birth there, it has greater speed and strength than a normal crockroach and scientists still don't know why (i hope it doesnt reproduce)
now the next person rates these REAL facts, and they find their own REAL facts that are interesting, and the next person rates it etc.

Fact 2: Never copy and paste directly from Wikipedia to here. Fail example shown above.
Fact 3: Posts that is entirely copy-paste is considered spam in AG, as you do not contribute anything yourself.

Fact 4: The only thing I copy-pasted is the name. My post is nowhere near 'entirely copy-paste'.
Fact 5: Normally we use 'are' after a plural noun.

Did I say it was? No.
It was a fact related to your fact, which also serves as a reminder to the community to remember that their facts should be written and formulated by themselves, instead of copypasting, which I am sure some does.
Had it been directed at you, I would have deleted your post, and reminded you on your profile, as mods do not take such matters to the forums in most cases, as such reminders and critique does not belong there, unless directed at more than a few users.

I know.
I was not focused when writing the post, and as I am not a native speaker of English, I tend to confuse the cases when I write.
It happens, alongside my abuse of the comma, as English suck at using that sign, as well as writing long confusing sentences, and, in case I don't care to find the proper word for something, simple and alternate sentences.
But, thank you very much for pointing this flaw out for the entire community to see.

I see little relation between Fact 2 and 3, aside from the appearance of 'copy' and 'aste' in both. Not to mention the difference in their usage: In Fact 2, they were used to describe a simple action. In Fact 3, they were used to describe a breach of the forum rules.
Allow me to point out to you that when you quote someone's post and say 'doing this and that is against the rules' immediately below, it is easy for unwanted misunderstandings to occur. Similarly, when you point your finger at someone in his car and start lecturing others the danger of driving after consuming alcoholic drinks, it is likely that he will think you were talking about him. (You were not, of course)

What a coincidence. Me neither.
thank you very much
No problem.
Guys. Less passive-aggressive hostility in here or I'll have to bring out the proverbial super-soakers.
Sorries.
Either way, to continue past this:
The fact about eating several spiders over the course of a night/a year was a rumour created to test how gullible people are.
That people still tend to quote this as a fact seems quite interesting.

i sleep with my mouth closed :P
Fact one: It is a history, I was in my Grandmother's camp house with her, my Grandfather and my cousin. We were doing well and they neighbors were making a big party and they were drinking a lot. I went to the bed but in the middle of the night my cousin woke me up and said: "Can you hear that?". It was the neighbor's party. Some guys were drunk and they were discussing loudly and threating each other. They were throwing cups, bottles and chairs at each other. I thought someone could die there. That freaked me out. So, my cousin and I woke up my Grandparents and they called the police. The police showed up there after 20 minutes and got into the neighbor's house. They were still fighting. The police officer tried to stop the fight but they threw things at him and and told them to back off. The police officer threated to shoot at them but he did nothing and went away. Never saw those neighbors again
Fact 2: I have already created 15 cats in the street.
Fact 3: My hamster killed himself after jumping off the 10th floor of my building

Created cats...? Or created 15 dead cats in the street...

Based on fact 2, i'm inclined to think you threw the hamster out the window.

This is funny because when I was 6 my parents told me this. I worried about it for a night, then decided that it didn't really matter since I would never know if I ate any, and also decided that if people did eat them in their sleep it was because there were a lot of spiders and one was bound to end up in their mouths.
In Tennessee it is illegal to transport an ice cream cone in your pocket and no one may eat ice cream on the sidewalk. This law was enacted when they still used carriages pulled by horses.The people did not want the horses to try and get the ice cream. Another on from Tennessee, not sure how this works but,
By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground."

No I didn't. My hamster was totally crazy. He used to ran away from the cage all the time and found a window and jumped.
Created cats...? Or created 15 dead cats in the street...
What I mean I had 15 street cats.
and another one is that, in most places in England, a pizza is delivered faster than an ambulance arrives there!i live in britain and that sounds just about right XD
I almost started to feel sorry for the Brits, then decided that it wasn't worth the effort.
In Stafford County, VA, USA it is legal for a man to beat his wife on the courthouse steps, as long as it is before 8 P.M.
