Comments
fantastic!
I shared this with my family.
Really enjoyed (would like to see the pic of Jupiter)
Oh sorry. I forgot to take that one out also.

cool mate. And since Jupiter's electromagnetic field is bigger than the sun, we'd all be melted down to a puddle.
That would suck.
76. Or possibly equal youngest person.
I guess it depends on how accurate the clock measuring the time of the birth is. It gets less likely to be equal in time the more places of decimals used eg 0.1 of a second after 8.24am or 0.0000000001 of a second after 8.24am.
True, but still theoretically possible.
I like number 8.
Number 38 is also mind boggling.
So many inaccuracies 😛

Thanks for the list Anthony. It made interesting reading. It might just provide a lot of work and research for someone looking to prove the facts listed as being wrong. Although there is a certainly vagueness in some of them which might allow an argument along the lines of how literally you take the wording of the fact.
I look forward to coming back to this article to read further comments 🙂
60 is questionable. Yes, I have been sitting here holding my nose and humming. It's a lot more difficult if you keep your mouth closed.
Depending on the meaning you attribute to "hum"
1.
make a low, steady continuous sound like that of a bee.
2.
Britishinformal
smell unpleasant.
"when the wind drops this stuff really hums"
So in the case of 2. you could "Hum" easily if you didn't wash for a few days.
dont worry i reported if for spam that will be his 2nd fp
so from where did you copy paste that. we all know your too lazy to write such an article.
article reported for spam.
Off the internet of course.
You really think I have time to write such an article when I am Boot Camp officer, a Teachta Dála, Minister of Community, plus working in EA on various projects? I am busy with important stuff for Ireland.
What do you do again?
that sounds like an excuse. are you truly sorry AC or only pretending?
i dont do french a* kissing so what i do for ireland is give them my opinion and advice. its only french a* kissers that think citizens need to do more.
Really?! So if everyone sat on their butt and spouted off all day about how they would do stuff but didn't do anything to make it happen then Ireland would be paradise?
We would be occupied and never get out of under some other nations thumb. Of course you would sit back and your opinion but still do nothing.
And I would put my reputation up against yours any day my friend. Any day.
your eReputation AC? dont make me laugh.
I don't get your problem with this RTK. You had a go at him for facts that weren't correct. Your arguments in that matter seemed logical and you seem to have done some research to uncover your corrections. fair enough I think it was unwarranted, but can understand your annoyance with things appearing to be facts when they are not true.
I cannot understand this now, reporting this article as spam. Anthony has put down some interesting facts. Even if he did lift them all directly from a website, he did it so that I wouldn't have to, and they were interesting.
There is something else going on here like a vendetta. It seems to me you are beginning to go back to your old ways.
he doesn't want to own this facts its mostly incorrect and what is more its against the rules as it does not relate to erepublik. everything that does not relate to erep is spam crosseye. also anyone can merely find this kind of articles on google. he could just as well have placed a link it would have the same effect.
RTK you don't come across as someone who is overly fond of Plato and his rules, but maybe I am wrong and you love Plato and every rule in this game. If you are not a big stickler for the rules it seems strange to me that you would use the "everything that does not relate to eRep is spam" rule to justify reporting this article as spam.
It also seems strange to me that you would spend so much time trying to verify the facts and disprove the falsehoods for an article you are reporting as being spam. Now I do know that you have always said the truth is important so I can understand that you might find it hard to let Anthony's two articles go without pointing out innacuracies/falsehoods. That being said most people would stop after showing a few examples of the innacuracies/falsehoods. You have gone to extremes. Hopefully this explains why I said your actions seem like a vendetta or a return to past ways/behaviour patterns.
I just hummed while holding my nose. Also important Hitler.
You can do it for a second or two then your mouth fills up with air and you have to open it.
beware too many posts here flaco and our moc will attempt to french a* kiss u
16. is incorrect one gets various colors still but it depends on the variety - look under franzi sementi heirloom seeds. but no original color was orange. i think if im correct first carrots was discovered in mexico
daucus carota is more yellow in appearance it shares the taste of carrots . the orange color is due to the high concentration of beta carotene in the root daucus the original one also has high concentrates - also many plants roots have a similar smell to carrots and it comprises a large affiliate family for example parsley and dill is related to carrots. my dills reached 1,5 meter last year which is far higher than the norm.
72 is incorrect it called an dot : A tittle or superscript dot[1] is a small distinguishing mark, such as a diacritic or the dot on a lowercase i or j. A tittle is just a general name for such distinguishing marks
source wikiepedia
70 is correct - of course we dont have this error as we refer to it as a grondboontjie or groundbean
60 is incorrect tested - you can still hum but you dont produce so much noise what more is your description is incorrect you should have said pinched the airways of your nose close
2. is incorrect - YKK held 45% of the world market share, followed by Optilon (8😵 and Talon Zipper (7😵.
so technically 55% of zippers wont have the ykk insignia
38 incorrect he has 2 living grandsons not 1
As of March 2015, Tyler has two living grandsons through his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler; he is the earliest former president with living grandchildren.[128] Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr. was born in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928; Lyon Tyler Jr. resides in Franklin, Tennessee, and Harrison Tyler maintains the family home, Sherwood Forest Plantation in Charles City County, Virginia.[129][130][131]

77 is incorrect its dil doof god - the spaces is part of the sentence in code we would express it as
for i = colbysentence.length to 0 -1
Sentencebackwards = Sentencebackwards + colbysentence.substring(i,1)
next
your problem is that your returned statement do not conform to any logic or semantic rules. i could not even delete the spaces because then it would still be incorrect.
76 is incorrect any scientist or computer programmer would correct you and say that the equation would be
if AnthonyColby.birth = unique(date) then Anthony Colby was for a brief period of time the youngest person on the world.
as we cannot possibly knows this your general statement is incorrect
66. If you dug a hole to the center of the Earth and dropped a book down, it would take 42 minutes to reach the bottom. Incorrect the time would be dependent of the weight of the book. Secondly if you checked the google doodle of a few days back you would know that it is speculated that the core of the earth consists of hot molten magma therefore your book would never reach the center.
I am not sure if you are just trying to be argumentative here. For the purposes of this reply I will presume you think you are correct. Your statement - "The time would be dependent of the weight of the book." - is not correct. Two books falling under gravity with 1 being 1 kg and the other being 5kg will fall at the same speed as long as their air resistance is the same.
bull that's why insects can fall kilometres and life and you cant your weight is more than theirs
Mass does not affect the speed of falling objects, assuming there is only gravity acting on it. but for a falling object wind resistance will also i presume play a role. or air resistance.
Re your insects comment - You are forgetting air resistance, terminal velocity, and the relative strength of different lifeforms.
I think you need to go and teach yourself or have someone teach you some basic physics, and perhaps some bio mechanics.
1 is incorrect tested - it has more of a organic sound whilst pac man is electronic i would say pac man is also closer to rubbing on a window with your finger
40 is incorrect - your date of production have nothing to do with the era covered.
20 is correct
78. Anthony Colby probably now have the koobface virus from visiting this 10 "this or that pages.
Jesus Christ you're a loser.
where is seanan, irasian your 2nd run as CP. Did you not know i personally voted you as a crap cp 40 times using ia profiles lol. the tears he he he . what a loser!
