  1. 1 No: will improve general eye health but not vision
    2: No: Vision is result of your lens focusing light on to your retna, I do not believe TV’s have enough light energy to effect the lens or retna
    3: Yes, I say this because most shark bites come from being mistaken for the sharks favorite food
    4: Do not care – Never tried it and never will so it does not matter to me
    5: Yes – just because I follow the rule of thumb
    6: no – disproven on mythbusters. The terminal velocity of the penny is not high enough to even break the skin.

  2. 1. Yes=fact
    2. Yes=fact
    3. Yes=fact
    4. Yes=fact
    5. Yes=fact
    6. I’ve heard that, but I’m not sure that it’s true.

  3. Everything is true but and #6 i don’t know for sure but i heard them. #1 is because the vitamins (vitamin c) in it help you vision #2 is because the brightness of a t.v. strains your eyes. #3 is because sharks are color blind. #4 is because has urena which kill germs and is very strong (you should also urinate on wounds if you have nothing else to wash it with and is posionous if you keep it in your body for too long. It is in your body the first place to kill the germs. #5 is because theobromine that is toxic to dogs in sufficient quantities, so if a dog eats like a mini m&m it won’t realy harm it. And milk chocolate is hardly toxic becaus it has very little theobromine.

  4. 1. Its got some vitamin crap thats good for the whole body, but “good for the eyes” to get small kids to eat it. Donno why the eyes though, hwy not muscle or long beautiful princess hair!
    2. Static field stuff! ryas and stuff that leak form the screen. But not to sure about it though, the rays are supposed to get stuck on the screen that why we see stuff! so probabaly cause its a glass and has a small magnifying factor that which sitting close makes you strain or concentrate harder with the yes to focus.
    3. Sharks I dont think have poor vision. They have a great sence of smell though, making them very good at night hunting in the dark. so I guess ppl think they dont use the eyes as much. OR it can be that the eyes arnt good enough to see the difference of a seal and a human bean plashing on the surface. ie, shark attacks.
    4. This I have heard of, and been told its good cause of the salt, but I do think that salt water would do just fine!^^
    5.never heard this before! I do hope its crap cause I know a Dog that loves chocolate! specially choco icecream!
    6.Yes, thats an ok. The penny shuld accelerate and doesnt have air resistance such as a feather does.

  5. 1.It’s true.carrots contain vitamin C,which is good for your eyes.
    2.Not true.Personal experience
    3.False!!!!Sharks are the perfect hunting machine,and have good vision
    4.Hell no!!!That’ll make it sting worse!
    5.True
    6.Nope!!!!In fact,it most likely won’t even make it to the bottom!
