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.!)

(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... 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.
(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
(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??)

( )Origin of the vibrators - Starting in the first century A.D., doctors manually massaged women to orgasm in hopes of purging them of a mysterious illness. "God-fearing physicians," as Zacuto expressed it in the 17th century, were expected to induce the paroxysm with their own fingers only when absolutely necessary.The first vibrator was invented in the 1880's by a British physician as a way to more quickly and effectively perform a therapeutic massage as treatment for hysteria in women. When portable vibrators powered by line electricity became available at the turn of the 20th century.

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
That's true. I moved into an apartment where the former tenant had two cats from hell. The front room kinda smelled like cat piss so I brought in a black light to target the spot to put the carpet cleaner. The rug lit up like a Christmas tree. |

14. Donald Duck comics were banned from
Finland because he doesn't wear pants.
Well he isnt banned anymore. Today they make books, magazines of Donald Duck comics "Akun" and children's books that EVERYONE reads. Actually its custom for when you have a baby, you order an Akun magazine for them to look at or read when they learn. Many have said that this is why the Finn's have the third best schooling system in the world. And he does it all without his pants. Anyway, a list of more funny facts: 1. Diet Coke was only invented in 1982. 2. The longest recored flight of a chicken is 13 seconds. 3.Pinocchio is Italian for "pine eye". 4.A law in Fairbanks, Alaska, does not allow moose to have sex on city streets. 5.Sugar is the only taste we are born craving. 6.Each year over $2,000,000,000 worth of Halloween candy is sold. 7.Males, on average, think about sex every 7 seconds. 8.In West Virginia, only babies can ride in a baby carriage. 9.In Michigan, it is illegal to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant. 10.The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier. 11.The electric chair was invented by a dentist. 12.It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. 13.Every year more than 2500 left handed people are killed from using right handed products. 14.Nokia, the world's biggest manufacturer of mobile phones has its headquarters in Finland, not Japan. ~ Page |

From: Billy Grace 5. Susan Lucci is the daughter of Phyllis Diller. False. Urban Legends Reference Page That one tripped an alarm bell, but in general, beware factoids. Some are true, but an awful lot of them turn out to be recycled urban legends or misremembered half-truths. But "scientists have a pretty good model of how bumblebees fly" or "drains can spin either direction in both hemispheres" just aren't punchy or memorable... |

From: Olympia Rebus hit snopes Abner Snopes? (My inner-geek is showing ) Anyway: Barbie's measurements, if she happened to be life-size, would be: 39-23-33 Barbie is based on "Lily" a German doll of questionable morals produced during WWII The slogan on New Hampshire license plates is 'Live Free or Die'. These license plates are manufactured by prisoners in the state prison in Concord. David Prowse, was the guy in the Darth Vader suit in Star Wars. He spoke all of Vader's lines, and didn't know that he was going to be dubbed over by James Earl Jones until he saw the screening of the movie. Naugahyde, plastic "leather" was created in Naugatuck, Connecticut. (Thank you www.kellys.com/know.html) (No Naugas were harmed in the production of this post)  |

From: Euterpe Roo Abner Snopes? (My inner-geek is showing ) I meant http://www.snopes.com/, which debunks urban legands and determines what factoids are true* It was named after Abner's family, so you were close *they have a tiny section of bogus facts to encourage the "don't believe everything you hear/read" notion... |

The rug lit up like a Christmas tree. I think if CSI is to be believed, it would be more correct to say "urine glows under a black light." |

There has been a class action suit filed against the Dupont corporation, claiming that teflon can cause cancer. Most experts predict it wont stick...

Has anyone drank out of Nelgeine (spelling) bottles? A rumor says that they cause cancer, because the plastic erodes away and gets mixed in with your water or whatever you keep in there. Im not sure its true..
