What else has Allen West heard about and can't wait to tell us?
I'll start:
Allen West heard that if you drank soda and ate pop rocks, your stomach will explode.
Allen West heard that the actor who played Paul Phieffer on The Wonder Years grew up to be Marilyn Manson.
Allen West heard that Mr. Rogers was once a Marine Corps sniper responsible for over 1,500 kills.
Allen West heard that the movie "Cast Away" was a secret government psychological experiment designed solely to see how many people would cry over a man's loss of a volleyball.
Allen West heard that you once killed a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Allen West heard that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter was, in fact, butter.
Allen West heard that actor Wilford Brimley has in fact already died twice, but was resurrected strictly for the purpose of people wondering, "Hey, Wilford Brimley is still alive? I could have sworn he was dead already."
Oh, and one more:
Allen West heard that if you seize an Iraqi citizen, have several of your men beat him, then shove his head in a barrel and discharge your weapon just to get him to divulge useless information in fear of his life, you *might* just be a war criminal.

...it won't be able to fly. Then you can catch it!
Don't laugh. That was tried on me once. Of course I was a little kid and had gone with my stepfather one Saturday morning when he needed to spend a couple hours at his work. He worked for a shipping line in San Pedro, CA, and I was left to wander around the dock. A longshoreman gave me a salt shaker and told me about sprinkling salt on the tail of a seagull.
I was so excited about catching a seagull that I spent the better part of the time my stepfather was there trying to sneak up on seagulls to get close enough to sprinkle the salt.
Of course, I never could get close enough...
But I never "caught on."
I wonder now if the longshoremen either had a good laugh at my expense or if it was their way of keeping me out of trouble.
Maybe both.
