Bullshit.

8.

It's actually the entire world.

Quote
11.
Bill gates house was designed using Macintosh computer.

Bullshit. The designs were done in very large part by hand.

Quote
13.
Almost all varieties of breakfast cereals are made from grass.

Some people would call that grain and wheat. Others who would call it grass are stupid.

Quote
14.
Some lions mates over 50 times a day.

It's actually 20-40. And it's actually only during the reproduction period (i.e. when they're in heat.)

Quote
17.
In the 1930's America track star Jesse Owens used to race against horses and dogs to earn a living.

That was actually not to earn a living. And actually only horses. And actually only old horses. And actually he was retired.

Quote
20.
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

Bullshit. Worms can't jump. Several types of insects cannot jump. Fish cannot technically jump. And considering we (the people who don't study animals for a living) don't know everything about every animal in existence, there are probably dozens more.

Quote
22.
Human birth control pill work on gorillas.

I'm inclined to call bullshit.

Quote
23.

No shit, your left lung is smaller because of your heart. HURR

Quote
25.
A hard-boiled egg will spin. An uncooked or soft-boiled egg will not.

Bullshit. All eggs spin if you spin them. Only hard-boiled eggs will spin without wobbling though.

Quote
29.
The great warrior Genghis khan died in bed while having $ex.

Bullshit. The cause of his death is unknown but there are several speculations. The idea of him dying while having sex is misconstrued even. The thought is that the princess he had sex with before "hid a small pair of pliers" in her vagina, and it hurt Genghis so bad that he died. Sounds like a myth. So, again, bullshit.

And you get the idea. I'm not going through the rest. Most of them sound like that special kind of bullshit that is so obscure there's no way of knowing for sure without doing some thorough research.
