Nice!
Try squeezing the following sentence in there somewhere in the bottom ten: “It’s impossible for you to lick your elbow.”
Then at the very rest of the list: “You tried to lick your elbow, didn’t you?”
-Everyone does!
February 2nd, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Good one, but for example your eyes grows from when you are a baby until you are adult, and a ducks quack haves an echo.
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Alliat, sorry but some people can lick there own elbow.
February 2nd, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Yeah, but most can’t and that’s the point of it. Maybe someone even dislocates his shoulder trying.
February 3rd, 2008 at 11:46 am
“Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing”
this isnt corret. a humans eye does grow!
February 3rd, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Of course they grow but proportionaly to our face. Once you reach your “full size” so do eyes, but nose and ears keep on growing until the day you die. I think that was the point.
February 3rd, 2008 at 1:52 pm
stupid sucks stop complain.
February 3rd, 2008 at 7:10 pm
you complain about complaining
February 5th, 2008 at 5:28 am
a ducks quack does echo.
February 13th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
I think the Indiana thing is not totally true. It should also be noted that the building was erected (ha) on a soggy marshlike land.
February 13th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
“A duck’s quack doesn’t echo, and no one knows why. ”
Mythbusters busted that myth.. bucko!
February 13th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
“Be.” is as short as “Go.”, and I’m sure it’s also a complete sentence.
February 13th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
“a ducks quack does not echo” - wrong
“go is the shortest sentence in the english language” - go is not a sentence, its a command. “I am” is the shortest sentence (and ‘i do’ is the longest…get it?)
“no word in the english language rhymes with month” - and no words rhyme with purple or silver either.
…so whoever posted this, way to just rip it off from just about every spam mail ever…
February 13th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
The shortest complete sentence is a tie between “Go.” and “Be.”
February 13th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
If barbie were life size, she wouldn’t be seven foot two, she would be life size. Try an smoke that one up.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:55 am
wouldn’t “No.” also tie for shortest sentence? I’m surprised people would come up with “Be.” before “No.”
February 14th, 2008 at 2:11 am
Alliat you’re wrong I just licked my elbow.
February 14th, 2008 at 3:26 am
You know, TYPEWRITER is not the only word that is the longest. PROPRIETOR has the same amount of letters so.
February 14th, 2008 at 5:36 am
Who would take the time to lead a cow upstairs? Or even downstairs? What the hell are they doing in the house?
February 14th, 2008 at 5:48 am
actually… to all those who talked about eyes growing, they don’t. They never grow. and if they grew proportionately to your face, they would be huge… sorry!
February 14th, 2008 at 6:34 am
Short sentences- So? No. Go. Oh! Ears and noses do NOT keep growing. The subcutaneous layers under the facial skin and the muscles decline with age, giving the illusion that your ears and nose grew.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:04 am
When you say Americans eat 18 acres of Pizza every day, is that each?
February 14th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Actually, cartilage never stops growing, so your nose and ears dont stop growing throughout your lifetime
February 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am
heres something weird and funny that you didnt know Alliat, duck quacks do have echos. nice list of ‘facts’. how about next time, you do a little research before you write this crap. how can polar bears be left handed? they dont have hands. this is retarded
February 14th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Be, Go and Do are all complete sentences because the “you” in a command is implicit. They mean complete sentence in this case as subject and verb so “So” and “No” don’t count.
Nobody’s checked every polar bear, maybe right-handedness is just rare.
February 14th, 2008 at 10:09 am
elephants aren’t the only animals that can’t jump, turtles cant jump, and neither can legless cats
February 14th, 2008 at 11:46 am
BWAHAHAHA!!! LEGLESS CATS!!!!
February 14th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
The IU library is actually HIGHER than planned….built into the limestone….
False!
February 14th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
It was on QI with stephen fry, there is a word that rhymes with silver which is “chilver” (cant find out what it means though :)). However orange, purple and month don’t have rhyming words.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
“Be.” and “Do.” are not complete sentences! Sure, the you is implied, but wtf does “You be.” and “You do.” mean? And don’t say “You do” as in response to who has a 12 in penis ’cause that’s not the You that’s implied, that’s an answer, not a command.
Oh, and eyes don’t grow and elephants are the only land mammals that can’t jump, not the only animals that can’t jump. Ever see a jumping snake? How about a worm? An amoeba with ups? Come on now.
February 14th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
The shortest sentence is: ?!
Duck quacks echo but duck hunters would rather we didn’t tell them.
OK, if somebody discovered you could lead a cow up but not down stairs, how did they get the cow back downstairs?
Can’t rhyme with month?:
“What doth a batter do when the batheth are loaded?
He bunth!”
February 14th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
who are all you people?
February 14th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
How about the sentence “I”, like when you are voting for something. That’s shorter than every other sentence I’ve heard. In fact, there can be no shorter sentence than that
February 14th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Do virus’ and bacteria jump? I’m just curious. What about Caterpillars? Or sloths? Or rhinocerous’? They don’t seem like the jumping type to me. Maybe if they were forced off a cliff or something…
February 14th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Gotcha Aww-Z! The sentence when answering a call for votes is spelled “Aye”. It’s Olde English for “Yes”.
February 15th, 2008 at 5:59 am
who ever said that snakes and worms cant jump as well…go kill yourself….they arent mammals retard
February 15th, 2008 at 7:33 am
Krunkz, the “fact” says animals…not mammals. Re-read things before you comment on somebody else’s comment.

I asked an optomitrist once about the eye, and how it doesn’t grow, he said it’s a myth. Our eyes at birth are smaller and they do grow as we age.
February 16th, 2008 at 1:49 am
Google “growth of human eye”
“At birth, an infants eyes are about two-thirds the size of adult eyes. Until after their first month of life, most newborns lack complete retinal development, especially in the area responsible for visual acuity. From the second year of life until puberty, eye growth progressively slows. After puberty, eye growth is negligible.”
