If Mr. Hitchcock was without his umbilical cord how did the fetus recieve nourishment? Osmosis? Did you see him at the beach in his bathing suit?

Did the first Harley-Davidson (circa: 1903) utilize the gravity flow principle to feed the combustion chamber? Also curious to know if it was Del Monte tomatoes (16oz.)? Degar

Let me get this straight, a pack a day smoker loses on average 2 teeth every ten years? That really not bad, because at that rate he or she will live to be 120 to 140 years (depending on whether they lose their wisdom teeth or not)
Degar

Mr./Ms. Degar,
I don't know, why don't you look it up for yourself?
This was sent to me so I posted it.
Thank you anyway for your commentary...

Just wanted to apologize & say that I researched the "Hitchcock Mystery" & am noble enough to say that it's wrong. His navel was "removed" during a surgery he had undergone. To the entire trivia community, I bid you goodnight.

Degar: a smoker losing an average of 2 teeth per 10 years does not tell one that smokers will live 120-140 years. Many smokers die with plenty of teeth, as do non-smokers. I don't see a correlation between tooth loss and smoking a pack a day.
NalaMarie: statement 5 about lefties comprising 7 percent of the population, my sources say there are 14 percent of us handicapped lefties.

HELL-OOOOOO! Ostiches do NOT stick their heads in the sand! That's an old wife's tale brought on by their stretching their necks out on the ground when "playing possum". tjoeb};>

Hell-oooooooooo...like I said before, these were sent to me & I apologized for anything that was wrong in them. BTW...no ostriches don't bury their heads...it only appears that way when they are grazing.
