True....or False?
 
One of the following is not true - can you guess which?


Slugs have 4 noses.

Owls are the only birds who can see the colour blue.

A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off!

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

It's against the law to have a pet dog in Iceland.

The longest recorded flight of a chicken is 13 seconds

Dolphins sleep with one eye open!.

It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open

Make a comment if you are sure........but don't forget to vote:tongueout

I think that the last statement is false. I think it is possible to sneeze with your eyes open.

I think you can dispute several of these facts.
Some of them appear to be rumours and not facts.
The cockroache one i think is exaggerated,it is more like 4 or 5 days,,The sneezing one is also debatable.
Please dont think i am having a go,i think it was a good idea in principle but could have been researched better.

Who suggested (apart from you) that I have not done research? :p:p To be fair, you could be right but bear in mind that I put it on the web for a laugh and if its given just one person a few seconds of thoughtful smiles, then I am happy.:D

You gave sneezing as an example, strangly, that is one fact I am fairly certain of, I remember reading about the reflex in the eyes whist sneezing - but can't remember why that is:idunno:


I will give the answer tomorrow:tongueout

I know I have voted for the correct one, but not telling you which ... :p

As for the sneezing, closing the eyes is involuntary and you cannot help but do it, in fact, the whole body goes into paralysis when you sneeze .. hek, I am one on those people who sneeze on average 7 times back to back .. ! Amazed still around.

As for Margaret, who claims to sneeze with eyelids open... will bring pepper to test this at the next meet that she attends .. :D:D
