False. It was actually New Mexico. Common misconception.
I don't suppose you happen to know what happened to Cotton Eye Joe - where did he come from, and where did he go?
Cotton Eye Joe was a folk hero named for his fibrous retinal growth. Son of Governor Don D. LeFoe, Joe was born in Boise, Idaho. His father died young when Joe was four, so Joe was raised by his new widow, Doe. Doe moved way up north to Fargo, where her caravan got stuck in the snow.
Joe got frostbite and lost seven toes, but they all persevered and found their new home where Joe met songwriter Herschel P. Sloane, who was soon to be wed to Ms. Jennifer Lowe. But Joe grew older and seduced his beau, calling off the marriage and trying to elope. Herschel chased Joe south to Mexico, where he found the couple in a big chateau. He hit Joe first with a big fist blow, sending the man down to the floor. He tried to run away with Jen in tow, but she loved old Cotton Eye and told him, "Hell no."
Where Jennifer and Cotton Eye ran we don't know, But Herschel wrote a song about them both, immortalizing love and loss and hope, popularized by Henry David Thoreau.
TL; DR he was from Idaho and he went to Mexico.

True. Centuries ago, the tails were traditionally coated in tetrodotoxin, as well as a grape-scented perfume, but this tradition ceased pafter the Lizard-Salamander war ended in 1563 with a treaty preventing the harvest of tetrodotoxin from newts.
You got any fun facts about lizards?
It is said that lizards can drop the ends of their tails when threatened to give whatever wants to eat them a small and easy treat rather than have to chase and eat the whole lizard and I think that's really cool for them. I wish I had a tail so when the bullies came for me as a kid, I could just break off a piece and those assholes could fuckin' eat it.

False. Olaf did not say that, as it would make him an interesting character, which is impossible.

True. This also applies to other citrus varieties including orange and grapefruit.
The lemon scent of most lemon scented cleaning products comes from the glands surrounding the anus of the lemon.

True. In addition, Sara Galapagellis is the only Sara known to tour in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
Because she tours exclusively in the northern hemisphere, Sara Bareilles has never shared the stage with her cousin, Sara Austrellis.

True. This is actually pretty decent philosophy.
what happens if i go into a creepy mall at 3 am?
Nothing, as it's closed. Malls are only creepy when open and full of creepy people. When closed, a mall is dark and quiet, empty of anyone who might harm you. To be in a dark mall at 3am would be the least creepy place possible. But it is also useless as the stores are closed and there is nobody there who could help you either.
As Sartre said, creepy malls are other people. But as Rogers said, people are the only reason to be there anyway. Fact is, if nothing's creepy, nothing's worthwhile.

True. This was unsuccessful, however, as the sound of purring would keep people awake.
Cats were originally domesticated for use as pillows.
