It’s a page called ‘True Facts’

There are no links that verify these facts, but here are some I noticed:

  1. Michael Jordan makes more money from Nike each year than all the Nike factory workers in Malaysia combined.
  2. Russian scientists have developed a new drug that prolongs drunkenness and enhances intoxication.
  3. American made parts account for only 1{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62} of the Chrysler Crossfire. 96{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62} of the Ford F-150 Heritage Truck is American.
  4. More people study English in China than speak it in the United States of America (300 million).
  5. Fast food provider Hardee’s has recently introduced the Monster Thickburger. It has 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat.
  6. More than 2,500 left-handed people are killed each year from using products that are made for right-handed people.
  7. In 2002, women earned 742,000 bachelor’s degrees. Men earned only 550,000 during the same year. The difference is growing so large that many colleges now practice (quietly) affirmative action for male applicants.
  8. Most of the deck chairs on the Queen Mary 2 have had to be replaced because overweight Americans were breaking them.
  9. A ten year old mattress weighs double what it did when it was new, because of the -ahem- debris which is absorbed through the years. That debris includes dust mites (their droppings and their decaying bodies), mold, millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, animal and human hair, secretions, excretions, lint, pollen, dust, soil, sand and a lot of perspiration, of which the average person loses a quart per day. Good night!
