From gakusenjb facts, I knew only 2 :

- Charlie Chaplin won third place in a Charlie Chaplin look alike contest (I have just herd this one yesterday from a collegue)
- Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

This one make me think twice about chocolate : The average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it

The fact : In some (maybe all) Asian countries, the family name is written first and the individual name written second. In Morocco, we write the family name then the name, and I still find it wierd to start with the name, tough I use it

In Romania too! First the family name then the individual name/names.

I tried the fact with the gum and the onion. I cut 2 onions for 5-7 minutes and I sensed a very powerfull onion smell my eyes were burning but no tears. I don't know if it was because of the gum. Maybe I didn't cut enough onions and didn't stay too much time cutting them. Anyway i asked my mom to cut some onions without chewing gum but she only cut for 1 minute and she eventually said that she got tears but I don't know if she was telling the truth!

You don't tryst your mom!!!

So you found the gum

It is known that in cold weather, onions don't affect that much as in summer.. But 5-7 minutes without a tear is a record

I don't trust her because she said he cut some onion earlier. Lots of onions and she had lots of tears too. She said: "Why didn't you come 30 minutes earlier? I could've tested myself!"

And she wanted to finish fast with me so she said she got tears. My opinon!

Maybe she really did got tears.

She was not shewing gum so maybe she got tears, I don't know
