Interesting! That one about licking your elbow is really odd.
 

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.

I've seen that "statistic" before, and I can't for the life of me figure that one out! What are they doing with pens so far in their mouth that they not only choke, BUT CHOKE TO DEATH!!!
