点击查看中英对照
  1. A king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2,000-square-foot house 4 inches deep.
  2. Spraying hairspray on dust bunnies and running over them with rollerblades can make them ignite.
  3. A 3-year-old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
  4. A ceiling fan motor isn't strong enough to lift a 42-pound boy in a Batman/Superman costume via a dog leash. However, it is strong enough to swing a paint can and cover all four walls of a 20x20-foot room.
  5. Don't throw baseballs near a running ceiling fan. Using the fan as a bat requires practice, but it can hit a ball surprisingly far.
  6. Window glass (even double-pane) won't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
  7. If you hear the toilet flush followed by "uh oh," it's already too late.
  8. Mixing brake fluid with bleach creates a lot of smoke.
  9. A six-year-old boy can start a fire with a flint rock, despite what a 36-year-old man might say about it only happening in movies.
  10. Certain Lego pieces can pass through a four-year-old boy's digestive system.
  11. Play-Doh and microwaves should never be mentioned together.
  12. Super glue is permanent.
  13. No amount of Jell-O in a swimming pool will let you walk on water.
  14. Pool filters and Jell-O are not compatible.
  15. VCRs do not eject peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, contrary to what some commercials showed.
  16. Garbage bags make poor parachutes.
  17. Marbles in a gas tank create significant noise while driving.
  18. You probably don't want to know what that smell is.
  19. Always check the oven before turning it on; plastic toys and ovens don't mix.
  20. The Austin, TX fire department has a five-minute response time.
  21. The spin cycle of a washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
  22. However, it will make cats dizzy.
  23. Dizzy cats can vomit twice their body weight.
  24. 80% of women will share this list with almost all their friends, regardless of whether they have children.
  25. 80% of men who read this will be tempted to mix bleach and brake fluid.
