Pretty sure its the other way around because the English did have very renound archers...oh well!

Also I have come upon a few things you can buy that actually have these warnings on the labels!

BlowDryer -Warning do not use well asleep-
Dove Soap(think it was dove) -Use like regular soap-
Superman costume -Wearing this suit will not enable you to fly-
Bag of Peanuts -Warning contains nuts-
Frozen T.V Dinner  -Defrost before use-

The one I probally like the most that I heard about was the one about the sundae desert you can buy at some IGA market and on the bottom it says Warning do not tip upside down! :D

actually, albert einstein was terrible with conventional mathematics. he failed his classes because he had trouble with multiplication. However, he excelled in algebraic theory.

otherwise my world history teacher was lying to us...

Yea, I have seen some of these things before.. really funny :D

Here\'s a couple more:
 \"Do not attempt to stop the blade with your hand.\" -- In the manual for a Swedish chainsaw.

 \"Do not use orally after using rectally.\" -- In the instructions for an electric thermometer.

And then there\'s the whole \"warning coffee is hot\" sort of labels...

monozygotic (identical) twins are 100% indentical genetically seen - however they can differ in many ways since the prenatal phase has got a lot of influence on our developement (i wrote a paper on \"nature versus nurture\").

Also afaik all babys are born with blue eyes however during the first month the color will change due to certain color pigments stored in the iris. So eye color could be a way to distinguish them.

I read a lot of that in a sociology course. it was a sexuality course, but reproductive science was part of it.

Speaking of wich...
On Oct. 14 1918, during WWI, Adolf Hitler (a corporal at the time) was hit in some Belgian village by a mustard gas shell that was fired by the British. He got evacuated by train to Germany blinded and burned.

Well I think its time for me to add another fact :

Van Gogh is known to have only sold ONE painting ..  

So all you artists out there who sold dozens of paintings, your work might be famous around the world one day .. After your dead offcourse :P
