The "IKEA effect" is the tendency for people to place a disproportionately high value on objects that they partially assembled themselves, such as furniture from IKEA, regardless of the quality of the end result.
One of the Bond villain organisations existed:
SMERSH (James Bond) - Wikipedia
SMERSH was a real Russian organisation (Death to Spies).
In the Bond films it was replaced with something less likely to upset the Russians - SPECTRE.
Rosa Klebb defected from SMERSH to SPECTRE.
Yes, that's where my username came from...

Beer and vaginas have almost the same acidity levels, with an average pH of 4.5.
Does one horsepower equal one horse?
Not quite. It’s a common misconception that one horsepower is equal to the peak power production of a horse, which is capable of a maximum of around 14.9 horsepower. By comparison, a human being is capable of approximately five horsepower at peak power production.

Gary gilmore was sentenced to death for murder. He was shot by firing squad in 1977.
His last words was “just do it”
Just over 10 years later Nike used his last words to remember gary gilmore.
Still today its used.

Correct.
But Nike used gilmore as platform.
Due to him insisting he be executed for his crime.
WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. That's the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed WD-40 back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion -- a task which is done by displacing water.

Pure water is not drinkable.
Absolute crap! Pure water (Distilled) is perfectly acceptable for human consumption. Next thing you'll be saying dihydrogen monoxide is unfit for animals.

When i looked up the quote, it seems perfectly clear that too much 100% pure water could be deadly.
More than one source does confirm it.
Which part fus10n? There was a study in the US about dihydrogen monoxide and it was a spoof. Something like 65% of people wanted it banned, not actually realising what it was. If you're on about pure water, then i've no idea :s
