They are good. Only took me motivation to read to be surprised be surprised by 99% of them.
The only one I see as wrong is
"The names of the continents all end with the same letter with which they start." I think South america disqualified that. Still, the other 6 is unknown and interesting.
I hope to remember atleast 10% of those!!

Well, then the question is, does one consider Australia a continent? Many don't, and instead lump Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, and many, many more in what is known as "Oceania."

Some would disagree. The question is, what defines a continent?
What about island nations? Where's Great Britain? Europe, of course. Madagascar's an African nation, last time I checked. Most people consider Japanese people to be "Asian."

Yes, Japan is an Asian nation. And if GB wasn't in Europe, how could it ever become part of EU?

The average person eats 8 spider during the night in their lifetime.
In my honest opinion or IMHO... I am skeptical as to how anyone can come to this conclusion. How is it possible to know how many spiders someone has ingested during their lifetime?
Some of those are questionable, but I was still surprised by most

australia is a continent.
Some people want to make oceania the continent, and not australia... but at least for now, Australia is still known as the continent, and not Oceania.
Similar situation exists with Pluto and whether or not it's a planet.

About elbow kiss (googling 'round) :)
http://www.askapastor.org/elbowkiss.html
The Elbow Kiss
Summary: On the count of three, everyone tries to kiss their own elbow and then jump higher than their knees without bending their knees.
The Simple Set-Up: There is no previous set-up required for this activity.
The Activity:
Say: Everyone stand up for a test in agility. On the count of three, I want everyone to try and kiss their own elbow. Ready? One. . . two. . . three! (pause)
Say: Now no one is allowed to bend their knees, but I want everyone to try and jump higher than their knees when I count to three. Ready? One. . . two. . . three! (pause)
Use this activity to teach about the following themes:
*God is Accepting (Romans 8:1, 33, 34)
Ask:
*Can you think of any other stunts which seem possible but really aren't?
*Have you discovered anything you thought you could do for God but couldn't?
*How does God feel about those failings as told in the verses above?
*God is Understanding (Psalm 78:1-37, 37-39)
Ask:
*List seven things that the nation of Israel couldn't seem to do in Psalm 78:1-37?
*Why didn't He just destroy them (Psalm 78:37-39)?
*What does this passage tell you about God and what He's like?
*God is Compassionate (Matthew 9:36; 14:14; 15:32; 20:34)
Ask:
*Have you discovered anything you thought you could do for God but couldn't?
*How do you think God feels about those things?
*How would you define the word "compassion" after reading the above verses?
*Why are you glad or not glad that this quality is part of God's character?

It is possible, but u dunno that becouse u swallow him and u don't have any of his remains in ur mouth. Besides such a spider is micro, a very small one, how do u know If he isn't in ur sause, hot-dog or a hamburger!
An avarage human lifetime is 60 - 80 years. 80 years are 292000 days +1 day per 4 years thats 20. Then 292020/8 is 3652,5 days for 1 spider. As we know there are bilions spiders in every country so there will be enough spiders for every human. So in 3652,5 6 bilions of spiders are eaten by humans at night. Strange?
PS: Forgive me If I mistaken somewhere, cuonted without a calculator.
