My disclaimer:



I did NOT check the authenticity of these "facts" because it's almost 3 am and I am too damn lazy. I'll check it out tomorrow when the brain is functioning better, unless someone else beats me to it.

G'night Farlie!!! :-4 :-6

Ok how in the world did Alfred Hitchcock not have a belly button. Was he hatched?

Ok now I'm going to quit smoking. No wonder I keep having dreams my teeth are falling out.

I guessed they were all true... but partly because I had a friend in high

school who didn't have a belly button, either!! I think it was just something

that "closed" shortly after birth or something, but he didn't have one!!

I've never heard of someone not having a belly button. But I did go to school with a girl who had 4 nipples.
