Everything You Think You Know is WRONG

Hey, recently I went into Cambridge, home of Harvard, literally like the best school in the world. And I stopped in the ultimate bookstore called "The Coop". Where college kids get all there books and supplies. When we walk in I stare at this place in aw. On one side of me is 65 Successful Application Essays, then in front of me is the Boston Dictionary. Then there sitting peacefully nestled on the side of one of the book tables is this book. Why, this book just my be a "smart alec" in a book. It's called "The Book of General Ignorance- Everything You Think You Know is Wrong". This just bumped all of my other favorite books off the list, because this is my new favorite!

Here are a few things, that this book holds inside:

How Many Sense Does A Human Being Have?
You thought wrong it's not five, we have at least nine senses. The other four not classified are Thermoception- the sense of heat, Equilibrioception- the sense of balance, Nociception- the perception of pain from the skin, and Proprioception- or "body awarness", being able to know where are body parts are without thinking. See bet you didn't know that did you?

What Would You Use to Over Power A Crocodile?
A. Paper Clip
B. Crocodile Chip
C. Paper Bag
D. Hand Bag
E. Rubber Band
For crocs upto 6.5 feet long, a simple rubber band will do the trick. Croc's muscles that close it's mouth can have the same downward force as a truck falling off a cliff. But on the other hand the muscles that open their mouth are weak enough for you to hold it shut. Cool, right I had known nothing about that! And for the last one................

How Many States Are There In The United States?
Technically there are only 46 states. Virginia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania are all officially commonwelths. This grants them no special constitutional power. They simply chose this word to describe themselves at the end of the War of Independence. It made clear that they were no longer royal colonies, answering to the king, but states governed by "common consent of the people." Bet you didn't know that either.

I can probably garuntee I just stumped 100% of all the people who just read this and if you say you got one right, I doubt it, you probably looked it up or lied.

These questions and answers I got from the book "The Book of General Ignorance- Everything You Think You Know is Wrong" I did not write these.

It's an awesome book that I think everyone should have!
Just making sure I did not take credit for this.
