FACT

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 an hour.

(Do not 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...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 do.

(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

****************************************************************

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

(OK, 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.

(Who knew? Who cares!)

****************************************************************

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for
pleasure.

(What about that pig??)
