If a cake falls while baking it means bad luck.

Coins, buttons and rings were baked into cakes, the person that receives the cake slice with coin was guaranteed with riches in the future, and the one with the ring signified marriage.

Quote from Hewitt
You know how sometimes you watch tv and see people create makeshift flamethrowers using aerosol cans? Yeah, don't do that. In fiction, it's a perfectly effective weapon but in real life, the thing will just explode in your face. Since aerosol cans weren't made for that purpose, the metal bottle isn't exactly going to hold the amount of flaming pressure you apply to it. Also, every aerosol is different in chemical composition and there is literally no way of dissecting them all so there's no way of telling which aerosols are actually effective and which aren't.

Also, unless your opposer is an idiot, you can't really throw grenades back at people. They were built with timing and skill in mind to the point that the people who use them are aware how and when it goes off.

No i mean per mile i forgot to add if it was converted into car speed, Thats my mistake, proplpy why half the people who read it were confused, so in bases it could break a bone if it were to do that.


Do you mean 213 mph, as in 213 miles per hour?
If you do, there is no way that is correct.
If it would be an average bunny(8 pounds) with that speed it would have the momentum of about 342,72 Nm. This momentum would be enough to give a 60 kilogram person a speed of 5,38 meters/second, or 18 km/h if they were to collide.
Also, the bunnies hips would be moving at about 95.22 m/s if this was true, I doubt any animals body could survive pounding into another animals ass at those speeds.

I was reading it as miles per hour originally, but he said "mph per minute" which is a measure of acceleration. Taking an entire minute to accelerate up to that speed is pretty slow acceleration, and humps don't last long so it will never get up to a particularly impressive speed.

Did you know that the right side of the human face displays emotion more effectively than the left? In addition, not only do our brains make the face look symmetrical based off the right side, we also (usually) subconsciously look at the right side of someone's face when we talk to them.

Furthermore, our canine companions (dogs, of course) have also learned this instinctual glance as a survival trait.

We can also understand our dog's barking to some extent, by observing when and where the dog barks. This gets memorized, and scientific tests prove that we can hear the barking patterns when recorded and recognize the pattern, which means we know what's going on. Pretty cool, huh?

In seahorses, the male gives birth to the offspring.
The lake duck has the largest penis in comparison to it's body length of all vertebrates.

Gaming improves your hand-eye coordination. Also people who game are more likely to have the ability to 'control' their dreams.
People who attend a fighting-sport are more likely to succeed in graduating.

I also heard that gaming improves your reflexes.
