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?)
****************************************************************

(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!)
****************************************************************

pleasure.
