Post anything that you think we might not know of that has happened in the world. It could be funny, serious, very irrelevent to anything, but all in all, clean.

Here is mine: Did you know that Trini, the original YELLOW ranger in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers died in a car crash in 2002?
Did you know... the original RED power ranger starred in a gay $$$$$$ post power rangers.

"Go" is lacking a noun since go is a verb. (I might be wrong since I suck at my own language, however)

"I am" is not a sentence. A verb that does not show an action such as "am", when used as a predicate, must be complimented by a word to finish the meaning. You "am" something. For example, "I am human."

The shortest sentence is "Go." Go is a verb that conveys action and can be used in the imperative mood, which means the subject is understood to be "You."

Yup.

Although (and I am not arguing at all)....are you sure I am is not a sentence?

If I say.... "Are you full?" and you say "I am" is that not a sentence?

Also, same example, but if you say "I am, thank you." That is a sentence. It also doesnt have a followup noun.

Just wondering....
