I love stuff like that, and yes, I checked. Also, did you know that if you hold your arms out straight from the shoulder, the distance fingertip of one arm to fingertip of the other is the same length that you are tall? See, this stuff I remember, but not the important stuff!!

lol The funny thing is, when I read the nose one, not only did I put my thumb to my nose, but I was thinking in my head that my reply would be, "Now how many of you put your thumb to your nose?!" Those are great. Some I've heard, but a lot of them I have not. Thanks for sharing it!
