Did you know…

OK, so you all KNOW how much I just love weird, amusing facts, right?  Well, I got this list from my uncle and HAD to share it!

Did you 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.  Maybe.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

                (You wouldn’t have any friends left, but that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

                (Gives new meaning to being ‘under pressure’!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

                (OMG, that is so unfair!)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.  (Creepy)

                (I'm still not over the pig thing.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an 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?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

                (I still can't believe that pig ...quality over quantity.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

                (Hmmmmmm…)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

                (Oh, boy…I’m in trouble.  But hey, 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 how much the government 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?  Do the dolphins know about the pig?)
