Pwnt!! >.<

Apparently, the 'F' word is derrived from france. When a couple wanted to have a baby, they'd put a sign on their door saying: fark, which stands for Fornication Under the Council of the King. The term caught on rather quickly.

This isn't true! It's just an urban legend.

fark is derived form the word frichen, meaning to strike.

As the OED notes, some have attempted to draw a connection to the German word ficken (to fark, in dialects: to rub, to scratch, and historically to strike).


Not from a song.

heres an strange fact
People say getting high dulls you senses..When it actully increases it.
I mean sersouly they cant make up rules like that you actully gotta get high before you make up Facts about it.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Rantent on 2005-10-29 at 23:23:00
Getting high DOES dull your senses because it makes neurons in the brain change their levels of receptors, making it so you would need more of the neuro transmitter to create a response. This is why drugs are addicting, it makes you feel really powerfull, but overall it takes away your senses.
