| not sure how true these are but they are fun lol 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 farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour (Don't try this at home,maybe at work) 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..?!") The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm......) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (okay, so that would be a good thing) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??) |

| I'd like to meet the guy that figured out the cat urine thing. On second thought, I'd like to stay away from that guy! These are a hoot! |

| I suspect that many women read this and are sad, since many men act like pigs in other ways yet can not perform as a pig would in that arena. But then men are at least a bit cleaner than the average pig, one would hope. |

| So funny! Where did you find these? |

| I love it! I have to agree about men and pigs. What a wonderful place the world would be if men lasted that long! A rat can last longer without water than a camel. |

| These are quite funny, it would be interesting to know just how much truth there is. If nothing else, they are great for a laugh! It reminds me of the fun facts on Snapple lids (my latest one says the average man will spend 5 months of his life shaving!) |

| I question the fact that only humans & dolphins have sex for pleasure. Did anyone ask one of those lions? Well I guess they wouldn't have time to talk if they were having sex 50 times a day. |

| I knew the tongue was the strongest muscle in the body. A back tooth was loose and it wouldn't come out, so I went to the dentist. While the dentist was getting ready my tongue played with it and when he came in the tooth fell out. It's a shame I still had to pay the dentist. What a waste of money!! |

| A perfect pour of Guinness takes 119.5 seconds to complete from an angle of 45 degrees with a pause and the serving temperature should be 42.8 degrees F. 10 million glasses are poured a day, that's 850 million liters a year with 40% of the worldwide sales coming from Africa. In 1759 Arthur Guinness signed a 9000 year lease for his brewery at St. James Gate in Dublin City. The production of Guinness consumes a full 7% of the Irish barley crop. St. Patrick's Day is March 17th and on September 24th we celebrate Arthur's Day, and well we should... On a side note, Sept. 19th is National Talk Like a Pirate Day...Aaarrrggh, gimme a pint... |
