One of the following is not true - can you guess which?

Slugs have 4 noses.

Owls are the only birds who can see the colour blue.

A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off!

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

It's against the law to have a pet dog in Iceland.

The longest recorded flight of a chicken is 13 seconds

Dolphins sleep with one eye open!.

It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open

Make a comment if you are sure........but don't forget to vote

If their tongues are attached to their eyelids thats probably true

I think that the last statement is false. I think it is possible to sneeze with your eyes open.

cashman · 12-02-2008, 23:54

i think its the chickens.

I think you can dispute several of these facts.
Some of them appear to be rumours and not facts.
The cockroache one i think is exaggerated,it is more like 4 or 5 days,,The sneezing one is also debatable.
Please dont think i am having a go,i think it was a good idea in principle but could have been researched better.

Owls -- unless you are one, how can you tell

Who suggested (apart from you) that I have not done research? To be fair, you could be right but bear in mind that I put it on the web for a laugh and if its given just one person a few seconds of thoughtful smiles, then I am happy.

You gave sneezing as an example, strangly, that is one fact I am fairly certain of, I remember reading about the reflex in the eyes whist sneezing - but can't remember why that is

I will give the answer tomorrow

I have sneezing fits almost daily .....with my eyes open

panther · 13-02-2008, 19:22

I vote for the dog one!,

& ya can sneeze with your eyes open, but .....
everytime you sneeze your eyes shut

, I think that is what it means

It's only a game

I know I have voted for the correct one, but not telling you which ...

As for the sneezing, closing the eyes is involuntary and you cannot help but do it, in fact, the whole body goes into paralysis when you sneeze .. hek, I am one on those people who sneeze on average 7 times back to back .. ! Amazed still around.

As for Margaret, who claims to sneeze with eyelids open... will bring pepper to test this at the next meet that she attends ..
