This thread is for posting unusual things that you might tell someone and then say I kid you not. Ding Dong is an unincorporated community in Texas and four states have towns named Podunk, I kid you not.
I had a friend who lived in Eastern Pennsylvania and from his house he had to go though Intercourse to get to Paradise.
That is the basic idea, but I will have to fact-check Donald's post for accuracy. He didn't end it with "I kid you not" so hold off on your trip to Eastern Pennsvalnia @Shirley Martin until the facts are in. UPDATE: @Shirley Martin yes, your "I kid you not:" must be true since Don's post has been fact-checked to be accurate and sets the tone for unbelievable facts. Paradise, Pennsylvania. Paradise is a census-designated place (CDP) in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States, with a zip code of 17562. The population was 1,129 at the 2010 census. Paradise, like Intercourse, is a popular site in Pennsylvania Dutch Country for tourists who like the name of the town.
It is a real town in Washington, I kid you not! The name comes from a local Native American language, meaning 'hard to pole', referring to the difficulty local Native Americans had poling their canoes along the river. The official name of the river is Humptulips.
I've sung at a recital at Wabash College and played trumpet at Constitution Hall and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, I kid you not.
My wife was in the movie, Airforce One, that starred Harrison Ford. She was an "extra" during the banquet, sitting at a table next to a friend of hers that was also an "extra". Then, after the banquet, and Harrison Ford spoke (as the President of the United States, her and her girlfriend were standing by a doorway as Harrison and his Secret Service walked thru it. She was also in the movie, Volcano, that starred Tommy Lee Jones, as an "extra". While she was doing the above, I was swinging a loop at local So. California rodeos.
If you take a 2 liter bottle, put a piece of aluminum foil in it, add some toilet bowl cleaner, put the top on it, set it down and run like hell, it will go "boom!!!!". I kid you not.. Well, it will go boom even if you don't run like hell but I suggest that you do.
What kind of toilet bowl cleaner? Are you referring to any of the squeeze bottle liquids? I've done the vinegar/baking soda thing. And I've taped together 10 or so beer cans with holes punched in their ends, then shot in lighter fluid, shaken it to atomize throughout, and put a match to the end (you really should wear ear protection.) But I've not heard of this one. I'll have to do some dumpster diving at my local recycling center.
Vinegar and baking soda would generate CO2, but HCl toilet leaner and aluminum foil could generate hydrogen. That could really go boom!! I used to use zinc powder and HCl then pipe it through soapy water to make suds that would ignite with a crackle. It was great fun.
Finally, someone following the "I kid you not" format howbeit giving instructions on making a hydrogen bomb.
