good read definitely.
if i may add this one:
1.) Long time ago, people belived that the earth was flat. (Though the Bible says it was really a sphere)
2.) Mortality rate is at constant 100%. (All of us will die right?)
3.) most people who buy gadgets don't read the manuals. (maybe if they scrap the manuals altogether, gadget prices will go down)

10. People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you sneeze, your
heart stops for a millisecond.
That's rubbish!!
The reason people say "bless you" is cos in ye olde times a sneeze was the first sign of a cold and a cold could kill you so people used to say bless you in the hope you wouldn't get a cold and die!!
Ah ha!
