Spiders don't suck the juices from their prey; they vomit digestive fluids and break down their food outside of their bodies before consuming it.

Americans spend ten times more money annually in the consumption of porn than in the consumption of apples. That's $10 in porn for every $1 in apples.

I didn't know people still paid for porn, which means bad news for the apple industry. People have moved on to consuming porn. Apples are useless now.

Did you know that if you stacked all of the soft flour tortillas that Taco Bell goes through every year the pile would be 3,500 miles tall, which is actually taller than the Empire State Building?

Some scholars believe that the apple of Eden was really a pomegranate.

With a Dunlop Heil, a bit of practice and a complete lack of dignity my butt can talk through my bass.
