I dont know..I got it in an email before...

but where it came from doesnt matter..

its off google search. my brother showed it to me years ago in a e-mail and now i couldnt find the printout. so i search it off google and decide, 'hey, i need to share sum wealth with u kids.'

i got yu, yu said none of the words rhyme with any other words in the dictionary: purple does ryhme with circle

Now that could be debatable. Since circle has that second ' c ', technically it might not rhyme with purple. Let the discussion begin!

purple, circle. totally different. it the C was a P, it would be cirple, and that would rhyme.

but, that ONLY word to rhyme with pruple, is nurple, as in the top part of your nipple. its a proven fact, look it up in a dictionary. (it better be a good one, not all of them have it in there)

orange rhymes with Door Hinge, which is a fraise not a word.

silver rhymes with quilver, which is the name of the back of a horses' tail.

id have to dissagree there ive seen my mate do it he can pull his elbow out of his socket its hella stuffed up looking but he can do it

actually im not sure if someone already said this(because i didnt care to read thru it all) a goldfish doesnt have a memory of 3 seconds.

it was on mythbusters, they expiremented with a underwater maze for some goldfish. after a few days of testing the goldfish were able to remember which way to go to get food.

so thats more like an urban myth instead of a fact.
