Comment: There is supposedly a thing called The Ebner Effect (easily
searchable on the web), written about in a book, written by two Swiss
gentlemen who conveniently died shortly after the announcment in 2000,
called The Pimeval Code (also easily searchable), claiming that running
powerful electrostatic fields over seeds and eggs will cause them to
spontaneously evolve, or devolve, claiming ancient ferns and extinct
species of salmon have resulted. Being familiar with molecular biology and
genetics, it sounds like load of bull to me, but there are a lot of people
I know who claim this effect is real.

Comment: "Mitt Romney is required by the Mormon Church to wear "sacred
undergarments", and refused to answer the question of whether he wears
boxers or briefs. True or false? Please let me know.

Comment: My co-worker insists that blueberries would never ripen if not
for the work of small spiders. I think this is ridiculous. She claims it
causes the "bloom" or fogginess that is on blueberries. I contend that
blueberries and all forms of vegetation have bugs.

That's true. I've got an oak tree in my backyard that won't load properly, and the sunflowers we planted have different issues with save games. The lawn keeps getting stuck when you walk to far to the left in level 14.

Comment: I keep seeing stories like this

So, a man I met once told me that he was going on a business trip. He
usually took the interstate, but this time he had more time as for he had
left early, so he decides to go through the mountains and enjoy the view.
He was driving along a dirt road that cuts through the mountains at night,
when suddenly he sees what appears to be a car crash. There where 'bodies'
on the road and his wife was a paramedic so he knew a thing or two about
saving people. As hes pulling up he said that he felt like something was a
little wrong so he decides to pull forward about 40 yards before he gets
out to try to help these people. As he stops the car and is about to get
out, he looks in his rear view mirror to see the 'bodies' sitting up,
looking at him along with 5 or 10 others that had come out of the bushes.
Needless to say he got the **** out of there.

So there are 10 to 15 people staging a hold-out on "a dirt road that cuts through the mountains", "at night"? How is that efficient? How many cars will be passing there, at that hour, to be robbed?

Comment: A friend of mine recently claimed that an old adversary recently
told her he slipped a microchip into her food (without her knowing) a few
years ago in order to remote-control my friend's health and make her
experience various illnesses over the years. This sounds really weird and
suspect, But is such a thing actually possible? (My friend is going to
ask her doctor about getting some medical scans..)

Of course it is possible. Happens all the time. The human body normally retains things one has swallowed for decades just in case there's something important in the food you ate.

Use-eth thou not 1 tennis ball, nor addeth thou two unless thou proceed to add three. Four tennis balls shalt thou not add, nor five. Three is the number thou shalt use, and the number of the balls shall be three. Now lobbeth thou the holy tennis ball...

in a test they conducted women scored higher than men and NASA did not
want to admit it or send women into space?
