If you disagree with any of these truths then its not the list thats wrong its you. You are universally untrue. These are all true, God told me

Guest: Locke Ness Monster (41 days ago)
Thats a stupid list. You're only stating mildly silly random occurances, most of which are downright retarded, none of which really classify as a "Universal truth". Weak humor.

Guest: jtfft (130 days ago)
The whole time I was reading this, I was nodding my head. It's amazing how true this all is. However, I was born after the 80's and I still typed 55378008 in a calculator. Because it's hilarious.

My favorite is definitely #11. I would like to add an addendum to #16. I do not remember a dog running in, but I'm sure everyone always remembers the kid that breaks something (arm, head, etc.)

OK so I know this makes me a bit of a nerd but an addendum to #30 is a d4 dice on a similar colored carpet. Look it up if you don't understand to see what I mean.

How does 12 contradict itself? And as for the bigoted gender assumptions...You need to loosen your bra!

This is a list made be the English comedian "Peter Kay". Just so you know. As for it making bigoted gender assumptions....shut up. You have no sense of humour.

Guest: anonymous (258 days ago)
12 contradicts itself. Also; 7, 13, 26 and 32 make bigoted gender assumptions. Most people would overlook them, or wouldn't even notice. Oh well, it's the Internet.
