Obviously, don't those people know about Sleeping Beauty? But in all seriousness, a dead or missing parent is a very common cliche in Disney.
Glass is actually a liquid. Boom. You can tell because old windows are thin at the top and fatter at the bottom.

No, that is due to the fact that old glass making techniques were very crude and did not make glass as well as we do. If that were true, then glass made by the Egyptians would be linearly deformed compared to Roman glass and we definitely do not see that. Meaning, Egyptian glass panes should look like a flat raindrop.
Some people really need to stay away from the government propaganda department. Let the brain-washing machines have a day off, they must need maintenance by now.
After a lifetime of studying fish, Stephen Jay Gould discovered that all sea-dwelling creatures are not of the same genus, nor are they in any way related to one other, and that there is no common evolutionary ancestor for all species of fish.

Let's clear up some of this edible plant stuff. An herb, by definition, is "Any plant with leaves, seeds, or flowers used for flavoring, food, medicine, or perfume." This definition does not exclude fruits or vegetables, of which a tomato is both, botanically a fruit and culinarily a vegetable. Same thing with cucumbers. Botanically, a fruit, culinarily, a vegetable.
Ok I looked it up, and there is actually no scientific consensus on wether glass is solid or liquid. I understand that glass doesn't run down, but apparently it has no melting point, instead it changes to some kind of other substance. Idk it's confusing, I'll just believe that it's a solid.

Wrong.
Glass is actually an amphorous solid.
Liquid needs to be able to change its shape and flow, and the latter glass cannot do. Glass doesn't flow.
Glass is not a supercooled liquid. A "supercooled" liquid is still a liquid that can turn crystalline almost instantly when disturbed as when distilled water is careful chilled to 28-29F and a bit of ice or sand dropped in. And it contains silicon dioxide or tetroxide. Silicon doesn't melt unless placed at temperatures at more than 1400 Celsius.
Also, people in the olden days used the "crown method", which unevenly made parts of the glass thinner or fatter.
Therefore, your fact is invalid.

Also to answer Blair.
Surprising fact:
Deoxygenated blood is RED, not blue. The trick of light easily makes the naked eye think its blue, when actually its dark red- poor blood that's going to the heart.
Wrong.

Didn't you read my next post? Amorphous solid I'd what I meant in that instead of "some other substance".
Also some more facts (they're true):
In Vermont it is illegal to tie your giraffe to a street post.
There is a type of jellyfish which never dies, as once it reaches maturity it can revert back to its polyp state (crazy I know!)
France has the best military record of any country.
Napoleon was actually average height for his time period
Oranges are actually green on the outside
Bats aren't blind
And lastly the longest word is the IUPAC name of the protein Titin with 189,819 letters.
Btw thanks for all you guys informing me I was wrong, not the first time my maths teacher has been wrong :).
I meant they had the best in Europe, sorry. This s because:
There have n 53 major wars fought in Europe, with france fighting in 49 of them, more than any other country in Europe.
They have also won 132 battles, lost 43 and drawn 10 times, a better record than any European country. This is against stereotypes about a weak French military that arose from both world wars.
Another Fact:
About 4 million "junk" telephone calls, phone solicitations by persons or programmed machine are made every day in the United States.
Its true.
They don't exist.
Did you know that bubble gum is pink only because back in the 1920's, the inventor could only find pink dye, and thus the color stuck?
It's a pretty weird fact.

Wrong. There are many more powerful muscles in the body, like the jaw and the glutes.
