I used to know a fair few but i forgot them all. I know one:

A surfer once sued a guy for "stealing his wave". The surfer won his case but no money was given as a price could not be set on how much the wave was worth.
 
- Black people make for 12% of the US population, but 58% of the convincted criminals.

- An unborn baby in a womans wumb is, by definition, a parasite.

- 61% of all hits on the Internet are done on porn sites.

- More people die from a champagne cork popping, than from poison spiders a year.

- 5% of the worlds population are homosexual.

- Only one book has been printed in more copies than the Bible - the IKEA-catalogue

- The average person swallows 8 spiders a year while sleeping.
 
Some of these are interesting, and have a point. I find some of the others to be stupid, and boring.

Nice facts though, the one about Miami and the Animals is messed up.
 
google search "strangebuttrue" i got it here, pretty intresting facts.

8 spiders a year while sleeping? fuck me..lol

im sure there are some words that rhyme with orange, purple or silver.

# silver /ˈ-ɪlvɚ/, rhymes with chilver, a female lamb, and the given name Wilver.
purple /ˈ-ɝːpəl/, rhymes with curple (the hindquarters of a horse) and hirple (to walk with a limp)
# orange /ˈ-ɒrɨndʒ/, rhymes with Blorenge, a hill in Wales, and Gorringe, a family name, and for some people sporange [5]

and if you want me to go to slant-rhymes, purple with turtle, silver with sliver,quiver,shiver and orange with flange(the gizmo that flushes your toilet)

I have no idea what sporange is, but bolded = incorrect, OP did say that there aren't any words that rhyme with them in the dictionary, as opposed to names and such, but with the rest, you are, of course, correct.


I've also got one: copy and pasting without citing the source is illegal, OP.

Oh, and, I've got another: there's Google for this sort of thing...
