This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Mt two favorite fun facts are geography facts.

  1. If you start in Detroit and head south the first foreign country you will hit is Canada

  2. The pacific entrance of the Panama Canal is east of the atlantic entrance.

Human butthole wrinkles are unique, like a fingerprint.

When the small intestine has to be temporarily removed during surgery, surgeons use a tool similar to a coat rack to hang it. Afterwards, they just shove it back into the gut and let it wriggle itself back into shape.

I think its interesting how north Europe is compared to North America. Stockholm, Sweden is on the same level as Alaska. The Canadian/US border is roughly level with Paris.

If you start in Detroit

Looks like the west side of Detroit doesn't hit Canada to the south. Just from eyeballing it I think you'd hit Cuba first.

Certain parts of Detroit, the west end is north of merkkka.

The peanut, is neither a pea, nor a nut.

(Probably not a fact, i think it may be a nut. But that was one of the funniest lines from The Critic.)

It is not a nut; it is a legume.

I'm reminded of when I worked for Wal-Mart, I had a lady complain her husband was fat. I just nodded politely and went along with it, never insulted him, just smiled and agreed with the woman.

Got chewed out for "Calling him fat", when I was just doing what I was trained to do.
