These are really interesting, and there are a bunch more on the original website.

Colgate? No kidding... sí significa éso... pero no creí que por un nombre así iban a bajar las ventas... mmm... in my country (Guatemala) colgate also means something like fall inlove... =)

i doubt the last one.. any evidence?

China 1 303 934 000 people
USA 296 504 000 people
...that would mean about one of four chinese should speak english to beat USA.

This three families vs. 48 nations line is interesting :O

Interesting facts, provided they are true. Still fun to read regardless.

not all of them on the site are true. like the one about a ducks quack not echoing. it does.

Not too bad, some were pretty interesting.

I don't doubt the last one , want evidence , move to maryland

Quicksand is generally too shallow for you to sink into it completely. The idea that that can happen is usually a thing of myth.

Somebody better notify Mythbusters!! They actually busted the duck/echo myth and also did an experiment with quicksand...

Great list, tho! :o)

Colgate, huh? That's cute, never thought of that one.

I remember hearing about the Chevy Nova's failure to find a market in Mexico, since "no va" means "it doesn't go."

Neat trivia...gotta filter out the truth from fiction, however.

hahaha, enjoyed!

wait, does that mean the words in Webster are bad spelled? How come? It's a tesaurus, how could they make such mistakes.... ?
