No word in the English language rhymes with month, silver, or purple. (SO THAT'S WHY I CAN'T WRITE A POEM D:)

False, at least in regards to purple. There's "hurple", which means to walk with a limp; it's completely vanished from common usage but still appears in some dictionaries. And there's "curple", which is part of a horse's saddle. FYI, poetic form doesn't have to rhyme. Some of the most famous poets in the english language, such as Sylvia Plath, rarely rhyme.

I've seen someone with my own eyes so that is false.

A friend of mine can do it, but that's because he has so many double-joints he's more flexible than an octopus.

Anyway, the most common name in the world is Mohamed, and

Not an official deck. Yes maybe a deck for kids with like TMNT on it or something, but an official one, no.

Thus, the anime named the two dedicated to the rivalry between the two. (Satoshi Tajiri is the creator of Pokemon, btw)

Did you know that the whole "we use only 10% of our brain" thing is a myth? Apparently we use —you guessed it— all of it (100%).

Did you know that the whole "drink 8 glasses of water a day" thing is a myth? Most experts agree that you should drink something when you are —get this— thirsty.

You can sue your school for tripping over the stairs. It's rather idiotic to try, though.
