Trick question. Of course he had a belly button. All humans are born with belly buttons. His belly button was, however, removed during a surgery procedure.

#10 Posted: 7/18/2012 11:31:55 PM Calling BS on #5, that's a myth that just keeps getting told over and over.
Your heart does not stop
But here are some fun sneeze facts.
Sneezes are an automatic reflex that can’t be stopped once sneezing starts.
- Sneezes can travel at a speed of 100 miles per hour and the wet spray can radiate five feet.
- People don’t sneeze when they are asleep because the nerves involved in nerve reflex are also resting.
- Between 18 and 35% of the population sneezes when exposed to sudden bright light.
- Some people sneeze when plucking their eyebrows because the nerve endings in the face are irritated and then fire an impulse that reaches the nasal nerve.
- Donna Griffiths from Worcestershire, England sneezed for 978 days, sneezing once every minute at the beginning. This is the longest sneezing episode on record.

#15 Posted: 7/19/2012 11:59:52 AM #21 ... Why use paint and thinner instead of milk? Does that look better than milk on TV or something? I find it odd. |
