Archimedes’ Principle…………………………………67 words. The Ten Commandments……………………………….179 words. The Gettysburg Address………………………………………286 words. The US Declaration of Independence………………………..1,300 words. The US Constitution with all 27 Amendments……………………7,818 words. EU Regulations on the sale of Cabbages……………………………………26,911 words Impossibilities in the world. 1. You can’t count your hair. 2. You can’t wash your eyes with soap. 3. You can’t breathe when your tongue is out. Put your tongue back in your mouth you silly person. Ten (10) things I know about you. 1. You are reading this 2. You are human. 3. You can’t say the letter ”P” without separating your lips. 4. You just attempted to do it. 6. You are laughing at yourself 7. You have a smile on your face and you skipped No. 5. 8. You just checked to see if there is a No. 5. 9. You are laughing at this because you are a fun loving person & everyone does it too. 10. You are probably going to send this on to see who else falls for it.

Good old snopes : www.snopes.com/language/document/cabbage.aspAlso, the Gettysburg Address word-count is wrong, as is the US Declaration of Independence. The Lord's Prayer is only correct if you mean the King James Bible version - it's shorter in both Matthew & Luke . So there. Bah Humbug . Martin (Bit bored today, in case you can't tell .)

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. 18 words not 24. Or in Native American Indian folklore ... the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides.
