1. The most common name in the world is Mohammed. Well I guess someone somewhere did a study, so it's probably true
2. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. I know it's the only muscle attached just on one end, but I wouldn't know if it was the strongest, but I suppose it's probably the most used, so it would get stronger each time, so this one makes sense
3. TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. Yup I agree with that one, I already knew it.
4. You can't kill yourself by holding your breath. That's right because your natural instinct to stay alive will kick in and you'll breathe even if you don't want to.
5. It is impossible to lick your elbow. There maybe some double jointed people or contortionsists that can do it, but I can't lick my own elbow, I tried ages ago.
6. The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.
Probably is, I had a bit of trouble with it and I'm usually good at them
7. The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with. Well that depends if you include Oceania, if you only include the ones I learnt at school then they do.
8. If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.
I've heard that but I've never heard of it happening to anyone.
9. You can't kill yourself by holding your breath. This was number 4
10. And finally 99% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow!~!!!
I must be in the 1% then.
