- One reason why the ocean is salty is because of whale sperm. The average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. So 360 gallons are spilled into the ocean every time one unloads. There's a higher concentration of whales in the Atlantic making it saltier than the Pacific

- Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian, and had only ONE testicle

This is definately not true. While Hitler carried off the impression of Vegetarianism in public, he was known to eat meat in private - he merely felt that it went better with the high moral image he was trying to present. And he had a full quotient of testicles.

- Urine has been proven to whiten teeth, and it was common for people back in the middle ages to pee into a cup and swish it around in their mouths to make their teeth whiter

This, however, is totally true. In Roman times, politicians used to bathe their togas in urine to because it made them extremely bright white and gave off an image of purity and honesty. Also during the middle ages, priests sold their urine (the church cashing in, now there's a surprise) because urine was needed in the process of making gunpowder, and it was believed that priest urine was holy and therefore more potent than anyone elses. In pre-colonial peru, parents washed their children's hair with urine in order to prevent headlice, and in his final book, Civilization and Its Discontents, Sigmund Freud claimed that civilization became possible only when ancient peoples resisted the impulse to extinguish their campfires by pissing them out. I know alot about urine.

An apple, onion, and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavor are caused by their smell. To prove this - pinch your nose and take a bite from each. They will all taste sweet.

A short time before Lincoln's assassination, he dreamed he was going to die, and he related his dream to the Senate

Our nose is the main reason we taste anything at all. If you close your nose and eat you will not taste much, regardless of what you eat.
