Hienz tomato ketchup has the number 57 on their bottle because they're company has 57 different typers of pickles.

and if you drop a penny off the empire state building it will not kill some one ( they tested that myth on mythbusters)

[Slyder]

CABLERIDER, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that Heinz thing. The slogan came from Henry Heinz just liking the sound of it. The story behind it is that he saw a sign in a train that said "21 Styles" for a shoe ad. He just liked the sound of it and picked a number that he thought sounded good with it, 57.

hahaha i didnt type that all i up i just copied it from some email this person sent me.

[Morphine]

Slyder, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that Pac-man thing. Originally the highest level ever was level 256, and you can't play after that because the entire left side of the screen glitches up. But they made a patch where you can play past level 256 so, there is no perfect score < HUGE NERD

[xboard32x]

[b]Morphine[/b], I was gonna do the HUGE NERD thing then i got to the end of it and you beat me to it. Im a nerd too!

O and this guy in the pic below doesnt race for honda.

[Slyder]

Morphine, You would be right if I was talking about the highest level. I'm talking high score here. And I'm also talking the original Pac-Man for the arcades. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. So here...
