    1. Alliat says:

      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! :P

    2. seb says:

      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.

    3. spOnk says:

      Alliat, sorry but some people can lick there own elbow.

    4. Alliat says:

      Yeah, but most can’t and that’s the point of it. Maybe someone even dislocates his shoulder trying.

    5. reol says:

      “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!

    6. Sandra says:

      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.

    7. idiots says:

      stupid sucks stop complain.

    8. micke says:

      you complain about complaining

    9. davo says:

      a ducks quack does echo.

    10. kring says:

      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.

    11. maria says:

      “A duck’s quack doesn’t echo, and no one knows why. ”

      Mythbusters busted that myth.. bucko!

    12. Tako says:

      “Be.” is as short as “Go.”, and I’m sure it’s also a complete sentence.

    13. devilishgrin66 says:

      “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…

    14. Fred says:

      The shortest complete sentence is a tie between “Go.” and “Be.”

    15. Gunsnmoses says:

      If barbie were life size, she wouldn’t be seven foot two, she would be life size. Try an smoke that one up.

    16. lowtolerance says:

      wouldn’t “No.” also tie for shortest sentence? I’m surprised people would come up with “Be.” before “No.”

    17. TNC420 says:

      Alliat you’re wrong I just licked my elbow.

    18. Joe says:

      You know, TYPEWRITER is not the only word that is the longest. PROPRIETOR has the same amount of letters so.

    19. Cowhater says:

      Who would take the time to lead a cow upstairs? Or even downstairs? What the hell are they doing in the house? :)

    20. mamie826 says:

      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!

    21. Dan says:

      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.

    22. Roy says:

      When you say Americans eat 18 acres of Pizza every day, is that each?

    23. Place Name Here says:

      Actually, cartilage never stops growing, so your nose and ears dont stop growing throughout your lifetime

    24. brett says:

      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

    25. steve says:

      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.

    26. Stick Licker says:

      elephants aren’t the only animals that can’t jump, turtles cant jump, and neither can legless cats

    27. Dizzle says:

      BWAHAHAHA!!! LEGLESS CATS!!!!

    28. Bill says:

      The IU library is actually HIGHER than planned….built into the limestone….

      False!

    29. Matt says:

      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.

    30. Matt says:

      “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.

    31. Rockit says:

      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!”

    32. Mrs. Wright says:

      who are all you people?

    33. Aww-Z says:

      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

    34. Aww-Z says:

      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…

    35. Rockit says:

      Gotcha Aww-Z! The sentence when answering a call for votes is spelled “Aye”. It’s Olde English for “Yes”.

    36. Krunkz says:

      who ever said that snakes and worms cant jump as well…go kill yourself….they arent mammals retard

    37. mothman says:

      Krunkz, the “fact” says animals…not mammals. Re-read things before you comment on somebody else’s comment.

    38. Mary says:

      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.

    39. Rockit says:

      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.”
