"Stuff You Really Need to Know!"
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6
days, you would have produced enough
sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it!)
If you produce flatulence consistently for
6 years and 9 months, enough gas is
produced to create the energy of an atomic
bomb.
The human heart creates enough pressure
when it pumps out to the body to squirt
blood 30 feet.
A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig!)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150
calories an hour. (Still not over that pig thing!)
Humans and dolphins are the only species
that have sex for pleasure. (Don't forget
the pig!)
On average, people fear spiders more than
they do death.
The strongest muscle in the body is the
tongue. (Hmmmmm.....)
You can't kill yourself by holding your breath.
Every time you lick a stamp, you're
consuming 1/10 of a calorie.
You are more likely to be killed by a
champagne cork than by a poisonous spider.
Right-handed people live, on average, nine
years longer than left-handed people do.
In ancient Egypt, priests plucked every hair
from their bodies, including their eyebrows
and eyelashes.
A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can
pull 30 times its own weight and always falls
over on its right side when intoxicated.
(Having fun with the ants again...)
Polar bears are left handed. (Left- pawed?)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds, that
makes the catfish rank #1 for animal having
the most taste buds.
The flea can jump 350 times its body length;
It's like a human jumping the length of a
football field.
A cockroach will live nine days without its
head, before it starves to death. (Creepy!)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate
while its head is attached to its body. The
female initiates sex by ripping the male's
head off. (Honey, I'm home.. what the...)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (In
my next life, I still want to be a pig... It's quality
over quantity, anytime!)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
A cat's urine glows under a black light. (No cat
of mine!)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
Starfishes haven't got brains.
After reading all these, all I can say is,
"Damn Pigs!"
