Interesting list, but two glaring errors:
"7) Bats are not rodents, but are marsupials."
(Bats are not rodents, but they are also not marsupials. They are
are MAMMALS that give birth to well-formed young. Bats do not have
pouches for storing their babies, as do marsupials.)
"184) The Duck-billed Platypus is the only mammal that lays eggs."
(There are TWO mammals in the world that lay eggs - the duck-billed
platypus, and the echidna, or spiny anteater. Both are from Australia.)

There is an error in "fact" number 36)
Your fact number (36) states: Death Valley is the deepest hole in the
ground while not being under water.
The above is NOT correct. Death Valley may be the 2nd-deepest hole in
the ground. The actual DEEPEST hole in the ground is near Sodom,
Israel. (The latter area is more than 1200 feet below sea level.)

Only if you consider only the actual spermitizoa that fertilized the ovum that
grew into the 5.3 billion people. In actual fact, it requires lot's of sperm
(and, consequently, even more semen) to make that many people. Almost doesn't
bear thinking about...
>9) Pearls are actually sand grains.
...wrapped in the secretions of the oyster.
>10) The Texas flag is the only flag that can be flown at the same height as
the

Presumably you mean, "...the only American flag that can be flown..." Lot's of
other flags can be flown at the same height as the US Flag.
>15) The rings on the inside of a tree are actually the number of seasons the

Each ring represents one cycle of growth (the dark part is when the tree is in
hibernation, the lighter part represents the most rapid growth). In temperate
zones (roughly north of Washington D.C.), there are four seasons to a
decidious tree's growth cycle (spring, summer, autumn, winter).
>32) You will not drown in the Dead Sea.
Well, you'll float better 'cause of the higher salt content, but you can still
drown. Best avoid it if you're on a low sodium diet, though. Hey, I wonder if
people who stay in the water there become pickled?
>66) The only US flag thet never is taken down is on the moon.
I've seen lots o' US flags that are never taken down. 'Course, they're
_supposed_ to be taken down, they just never are.
>70) Peanuts are part of the meat group.
Nope. They're high in protein, and share some properties with meat, but meat
comes from animals, peanuts do not.
>73) A watermelon is a vegetable, and a tomato is fruit.
And corn is a grain, etc., etc.
>78) The first official air flight was straight up then straight down.
Air balloon (1825 in Paris, France?).
>86) Death kills you dead.
So does Raid. (Or is that bugs?)
>92) Pizza originated in China not Italy.
So was pasta. And, I think, tomatoes came from North America.
>99) If the entire population of the world were to stand side by side, they

Hmmm... assuming just one square foot per person, that's about 5.3 billion
square feet (see #1 above). That's a square just over 14 miles to the side. A
lot less than Delaware.
>141) Mockingbirds are the state bird of Arkansas and Texas.
And where was "To Kill A Mockingbird" based? Seems like we need to have a
little inter-state war to figure it out (kinda like the Subway Series').
>157) Rugby is different than Football.
Modern [American] football comes from a set of rules established during a
game between Harvard at McGill University in Montreal. Both rugby teams had
their own sets of rules; the game was played Harvard rules for the first half,
and McGill rules the second. Later, Harvard adopted the McGill rules, which
became American football (which is why, like Canadian football, American
football used to only have three downs).
>165) The 3rd and 4th pass of Halley's Comet were the days on Samuel Clemens

Halley's Comet may well have passed Earth dozens of times.
>167) The book, A Tale of Two Cities, begins and ends with the same passage.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

But making $80 million+ a year, according to CNN.

Yes. Bugs. Bugs kill you dead.

I didn't know Bugs was that violent. Or is that "Bugsy"?
