I didn't know a billiard ball could fit in a person's mouth. I thought about it, but I didn't try it.

LOL! But the one about 1 person in 2,000,000,000 being 116 years old is way off. That would mean there's only about 3 people in the world that old, and if that's true they all live in my town because I had to pass them all on the freeway coming to work this morning!

And yes, I tried to lick my elbow. dammit!!

I doubt several of the little facts in there, for instance... slugs are animals which can't jump... neither do jellyfish. Perhaps they meant 'mammals'... can a sloth jump?

And I am positive elbow licking is possible. I can sorta do it if you consider the elbow area to be the loose skin instead of the bone, because you can't lick the bone without the skin getting in the way, and I my threshold for pain isn't such that I want to try to figure it out.

being very skeptical of these type of "little known facts" i see all the time i sort of raised an eyebrow in disbelief when it said it was impossible to lick your elbow so sure enough took a stab at it and failed miserably..hehehe i will have to send this to a couple of my friends..very funny post
