    Different nationalities set certain connotations to colors. In advertising in America and Canda, the color blue is seen as clean/fresh/more desirable. In most Asians countries, it is the opposite, with the color red being more desirable and blue being seen as a 'dirty' color.

    If someone says, "I wouldn't trade that for all the tea in China," They're not very smart. China produces about 855 million metric tons of tea a year (that's the trivia part). Worth about $1.25 trillion. I'd trade my wife and kids for that!

    Real boobs float, fake ones dont.



    False....Man Answers said so.


    True. And Manswers is where I learned it ;) lol. Fake boobs dont float because silicone and saline impalnts are denser than water, but natural boobs are made of about 90% fat, and fat is less dense than water.

    I think it goes further back than that ;)
