It's against the law to do that in Utah...I'd say true...

I would guess that if the fish were in shallow water in large numbers it would be an unfair advantage to just go in and start grabbing. The law might also have other stuff which says you can't use a net either, which might be considered with your hands.


We have a law (rumor) that you can kill Indians as long as you are sitting in a covered wagon, or if three or more Indians are walking together you can kill them because it is supposed to be considered a warring group.

* Einstein couldn't speak fluently when he was nine. His parents thought he might be retarded (T)

Funny thing is, he could speak well at 8 years old, then 10. Age 9 was a bad year for him.

* In Los Angeles, there are fewer people than there are automobiles (?)

If by people you mean real human beings, then yes, this is true. Not many there.

* Every person has a unique tongue print (probably)

Yes, and the police in Portugal used tongue prints up until 1997 to book criminals.

* Your right lung takes in more air than your left one does (T)

Yep. Also, your nuts can live outside your body indefinately (see: Stosh)

* Women's hearts beat faster than men's (T)

Because they are evil.

* Pollsters say that 40 percent of dog and cat owners carry pictures of their pets in their wallets (who cares)

Ok, that's just lame. Who the hell cares about animals anyway?

* You're more likely to get stung by a bee on a windy day than in any other weather (T)

What about tiger attacks? Don't they hunt humans on windy days?

* An average person laughs about 15 times a day (?)

This is a bad stat, as giggly idiots tend to up the average for all of us. I laugh once a day as I look in the mirror when I wake up.

* Research indicates that mosquitoes are attracted to people who have recently eaten bananas (T)

There is a porn joke in here somewhere...

* Penguins can jump as high as 6 feet in the air (?)

Yep. And they can spit venom.

* The average person is half an inch taller upon rising in the morning (?)

It's the yeast.

* A sneeze zooms out of your mouth at up to 600 mph (damn)

New sport: nose darts.

* Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark (?)

Mother of invention: wussy makes a lightbulb.

* In 1980, there was only one country in the world with no telephones(?)

Canada has really come a long way, eh?

* The average bank teller loses about $250 every year (?)

"Loses", yeah, that's it...

* Bubble gum contains rubber (?)

New product idea: Hubba Bubba spermicidal condoms

* You can only smell 1/20th as well as a dog (T)

Which is a good thing, considering the homeless population around here.

* Most American car horns honk in the key of "F" (?)

"F" as in "Get the F**K outta my way!!"

* The world population of chickens is about equal to people (?)

There is a KFC/Soilent Green joke in here somewhere...

* Every time Beethoven sat down to write music, he poured ice water over his head (?)

See? Even he had to keep himself awake listening to that boring crap...

* About 70 percent of Americans who go to college do it to make more money (?)

Selling weed to their roommates.

* It's against the law to catch fish with your bare hands in Kansas (really?)

You can use your butt cheeks though.

* Some toothpaste brands contain antifreeze (today or in the 20s)

And Prestone has flouride and a minty taste.

* Only 55 percent of all Americans know that the sun is a star (LOL)

No it's not.

* Millie the White House dog earned more than 4 times as much as President Bush in 1991 (woulnt surprise me)

That's when Bush was shooting heroin.

* Bird droppings are the chief export of Nauru, an island nation in the Western Pacific (sweet)

And they say the US economy is crap right now?

* There are more plastic flamingos in America than real ones (?)

If by "flamingos" you mean "breasts", then yes.

* Most lipstick contains fish scales (LOL)

And the ground up bones of lost children...

* Mosquitoes have teeth (?)

So does my x-wife. Teeth are important to blood-sucking creatures.

* Spotted skunks do handstands before they spray (?)

Yoga is very popular these days...

* When snakes are born with two heads, they fight each other for food (sweet)

Twin human children will do this if you starve them long enough. It's a hoot.

* Most cows give more milk when they listen to music. (?)

There is a Courtney Love joke in there somewhere...

The "You are a half inch to an inch taller upon rising in the morning" one is true. I think your spine compresses during the day and releases while you sleep. Try it sometime.

yeah, when you're walking around all day your spine does compress and you lose height. When you sleep, you stretch back out again and become taller.

No bare handed fishing in Ohio either...

Noodling by Hand

Noodling by hand is a unique and potentially dangerous type of fishing where the fishermen use their bare hands instead of any type of tackle to catch a fish, primarily a type of catfish. To accomplish this, the “noodler” inserts a hand down into holes under mud banks, rocks, or inside of hollow logs in rivers, lakes, and ponds and wiggles those fingers in the hole until the catfish inside attempts to swallow the hand. The noodler then must pull the fish onto land or a waiting boat without being pulled under. Two can often work as a team to catch a fish more easily.

Once a catfish is found in its nest, the noodlers must block off all exit holes with their bodies, rocks, or burlap bags. Once all other routes of escape are blocked, the noodler should uncover one hole just enough to reach their hand into the lair. Extending a hand as bait, the noodler allows the catfish to bite down upon it. Catfish often spin in the water to tear and pull at meat, so attempt to neutralize the fish’s movements as much as possible. The noodler can pull the fish out with the hand, poke a hole through the catfish’s lower jaw and run a rope through it to help pull the fish out with, or, if employing a hook, use it to extract the fish. If using a rope, tie it to a tree or some other stationary object on land first. To noodle alone, requires that the angler be skilled and know the dangers associated, all of these techniques listed above should be followed. Also, safety being more of a concern, a noodler of limited experience should have a safety line tied to a permanent object on shore to help in retrieval of the fish as well as pulling oneself free of obstacles in or under water.

The funniest part about that is that it is all true. I saw a redneck doing it on TV and almost pissed myself. You can also catch Tarpon that way. A Catfish is one fishie that I would not want to stick my hand into. Aren't their jaws meant to crush the stuff that they scoop up off of the bottom?
