Butterflies taste with their feet. (Okay, maybe)
In ten minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all the world's nuclear weapons combined. (Doubt it. How big a hurricane? How many nuclear weapons are we talking about here?)
TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters of only one row of the keyboard. (Clever, but I bet someone could come up with a longer word in about ten minutes.)
On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year. (As Mark Twain said, "There are three types of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.")
Thirty-five percent of people who use personal ads for dating are already married. (And I'm sure you know this because these people are so open and honest about their infidelity.)
Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. (Define 'jump.' What about a whale?)
It's possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs. (Perhaps, if they were steep.)
Women blink twice as much a men. (Blinking is a physical necessity, so I can't see why women would need to work twice as hard to keep their eyes moist.)
A snail can sleep for three years. ("Can"? As if by choice? Implausible, but possible I guess.)
No word in the English language rhymes with the word "month." (That depends on how severe your lisp is.)
The average lifespan of a major league baseball is seven pitches. (Okay, I can see that.)
The electric chair was invented by a dentist. (This a flat out lie. An excerpt from wikipedia on "electric chair": The first practical electric chair was invented by Harold P. Brown. Brown was an employee of Thomas Edison's, hired for the purpose of researching electrocution and for the development of the electric chair. Since Brown worked for Edison, and Edison promoted Brown's work, the development of the electric chair is often erroneously credited to Edison himself.)
All polar bears are left handed. (Doubt it, but who knows. Why would an animal that walks on all fours favor one paw over another?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I can see it.)
"Go." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. (Clever, but it's not necessarily 'complete.' You've got all those implied subjects and objects in there.)
The cigarette lighter was invented before the match. (Doubt it. According to Wikipedia, a predecessor of the match was developed in China in 577, consisting of small sticks of pinewood impregnated with sulfur. The first modern match, sayeth Wikipedia, was invented in 1805 by K. Chancel, assistant to Professor L. J. Thénard of Paris. I couldn't find a date of progeny for the cigarette lighter, but seeing that the cigarette itself wasn't invented until after the Crimean War, 1954-1856, I doubt the cigarette lighter preceded the cigarette.)
American, on average, eat 18 acres of pizza every day. (Now this may be true. As a matter of fact, I'm getting sort of hungry.)
