Adolf Hitler was born April 20, 1889 at Braunau am Inn, Austria, a village in Upper Austria, bordering Germany, the third son and fourth child of six. His father, Alois Hitler, (born Schicklgruber), (1837–1903), was a customs official in Austria-Hungary on the German border; his mother, Klara Pölzl, (1860–1907), Alois' second cousin (presumably), was his father's third wife. Because of the close kinship of the two, a papal dispensation had to be obtained for the marriage, both being Roman Catholic. Of Alois and Klara's six children, only Adolf and his sister Paula reached adulthood. Hitler's father also had a son, Alois Jr, and a daughter, Angela, by his second wife. There were no children by his first wife.
Alois Hitler was born illegitimate. For the first 39 years of his life he bore his mother's surname, Schicklgruber. In 1876, he began using the surname of his stepfather, Johann Georg Hiedler, after visiting a priest who was responsible for birth registries. The priest declared that Johann Hiedler was Alois' father (Alois gave the impression that Georg was still alive but he was long dead). The name was variously spelled Hiedler, Huetler, Huettler and Hitler and probably changed to "Hitler" by a clerk. The origin of the name is either from the German word Hittler and similar, "one who lives in a hut", "shepherd", or from the Slavic word Hidlar and Hidlarcek. -

I have some corrections!
10. Leonardo da Vinci invented scissors. Also, it took him 10 years to paint Mona LisaÂ’s lips. ------> Leonardo DaVinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1502 and, according to Vasari, completed it in four years.
14. Mosquito repellents donÂ’t repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquitoÂ’s sensors so they donÂ’t know youÂ’re there. ------> They don't block the mosquito's sensors, they just make the person "unattractive for feeding" for the female mosquito.
15. Dentists recommend that a toothbrush be kept at least six feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. -----> Proven not true by Mythbusters.
-----> This is not bullshit. According to the Nazi experiment, a human can last 264 hours, or 11 days, with no sleep. Bobby Sands, a famous IRA hunger striker, survived 66 days without food.Originally posted by monoblam:number 48. (death from lack of sleep for 10 days is bullsh!t.)
74. Coca-Cola was originally green. -----> False... The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product.
81. It is impossible to lick your elbow. ------> It is possible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_m_w7Q1nYI&mode=related&search=
82. People say “Bless you” when you sneeze because when you sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond. ------> Not true. http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/mar98/890925984.An.r.html
103. The electric chair was invented by a dentist. ------> Wrong, it was invented by Harold Brown and Edison. Correct me if I am wrong.
106. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match. ----> The first "match" was invented on 1805 whilst the first lighter was invented on 1823. But the first friction match was invented on 1827, 4 years after the lighter. -

Do you know? From number 1 to 9 (not counting 0) , any number will add up to 9. This applies to for e.g. 39 . From the number 39, take 3+9=12. So, minus 12 , 39 - 12 = 27 , 27 : 2+7 = 9.
Still dont believe?
Take 98.
98 : 9+8 = 17 Therefore, 98 - 17 = 81 , therefore , 81 : 8+1 = 9.
Cool. -
