Kinda makes me wonder how they figure some of these out.

All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20.
Does anyone here know why?
A gold
fish has a memory span of three seconds.
I've always had a hard time believing this one...How could they possibly know that? I've had goldfish, and when I opened the lid to the tank to feed them, they would swim to the top before I put the food in. If they only had a memory of three seconds, how would they know they're about to get fed?

Number 69 is wrong. A dead iguana can stay under water indefinitely. (Well, it didn't specify). And number 84 is way out of date, the heaviest pumpkin to date being 1502 lbs., with many over 1,000. Maybe I need to step away from the computer for a while....

266. Average life span of a major league baseball: 7 pitches.
Additionally, about 70 ***** are used in a game. The Home Team is required to supply 90 new baseballs prior to each game. The baseball used is a Rawlings #ROMLB at $13.50 each.
That's 70 x $13.50 = $945.00 worth of baseballs used per game.
Another reason why that 12 oz. beer costs you $7.00 at a game.
