Aha, yes, I thought that they were all supposed to be true. However, I checked out the babies and kneecaps one, and while they're not ossified until the age you quoted, they are there nevertheless. Here is a link to verify my claim:

I actually found that out too-but since they aren't ossified I figured it still "counted". I posted this over from something a friend sent-I found it amusing-but then again I'm easily amused. :)

Okay, how many moms wondered (just wondered...) if their kids would wake up if they checked them for kneecaps... :ph34r:

Yes, I found them amusing, too. Good entertainment when you can't sleep, anyway.

Nancy, you're too funny.

2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button.

How could Alfred Hitchcock not have a belly button? I thought the only ones without bellybuttons would've been Adam and Eve.

Interesting to say the least.

His belly button was eliminated when he was being sewed up after surgery.

Ursula, thanks for that, or I would have been non the wiser.

It is a bit scary to think because I am nearly 50 that I have spent nearly 5 years waiting in queues. I guess next time I can take my book while I wait.

You definately cannot sneak up on one of my parrots ... I've tried ... they always see you coming.

The one about Prince Charles and Prince William not being on the same plane is true. As far as I know this rule also applies to Prince Harry.

. . .

12. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year.

Yes, because their husbands forget to put the seat down. :P

16. Most of us have eaten a spider in our sleep.

"Aaaaaaaah!" (Runs from room and slams door)

18. The only two animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the rabbit and the

parrot. What about that lizard with the googly independently-moving-eyes? :wacko:

20. Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State anthem. Forget about #16, this is the most disturbing one. :lol:

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
