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.)
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 pray 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??)
Hope you liked it
PS – I dont know if all this is actually true, but I found it very amusing

Questions
Who would have calculated the Atomic bomb statement and I asked "Watcha doin" how would they have replied :question:
Is that the male pig or the female pig :question:
And the male preying mantis NEVER experiences orgasm, what a bummer :fum:
-
Now, be honest, who tried that? :lol:
(I did - and got some strange looks from my fellow inmates).
-
In our part of the country - if you say that someone hums - it means that they stink.
Hence loads of people can hum whilst holding their nose. Now you know why they hold their noses................. :rofl:

My brother in law on the Gold Coast houses Asian students and some holiday travellers (for a fee) so when we had tea with them on our holiday we were joined by a 22 y/o Korean, a similar aged Chinese Guy, a 32 Y/O Japanese lady and her two children (maybe 10 & 12 y/o)
I asked the Korean guy (who spoke quite good English) if he knew of the Hyundai i30.. He was puzzled and then said .. Oh, Huundai :eek: (but couldn't recall the i30 model) :disapp:

Old Hyundai ads pronounced it that way but you obviously haven't been taking too much notice of the latest model ads.... :whistler:
If you had, you would have noticed they don't actually say "Hyundai" at all....just the name of the particular model..... :winker: :D

And we just finished a "Hyundai 3 day sale". No models mentioned apart from one or two exceptions.

This would indicate that somewhere in the world, there may be one or two with teeth.
Otherwise, the saying would most likely be "as non-existent as hens' teeth." :lol:

From.....Comprehensive Health and Medicine Resource.
Chicken Teeth: They are Real
Everybody knows that chickens do not have teeth. Obviously, they are birds, and there are no known species of bird which have teeth. They lost this bodily structure as a genus between 60 and 80 million years ago. However, what would happen if they had both the physical structures in their bodies which could produce teeth, and the necessary genes which could be activated, causing them to grow a full set of chompers? Would the world be ready for chickens who have toothy grins? Believe it or not, there is evidence to suggest that in some kinds of chickens, not only could teeth exist, but during their early developmental stages the precursory steps which often grow into being teeth actually do come about.
From an evolutionary standpoint, chickens and crocodiles are fairly similar to one another. Even their jaw structures are fairly similar. So when scientists checked out some embryos of these two critters side by side, they found that in a small group of chromosomally abnormal chickens the early stages of tooth development were taking place, just as they were in the croc embryos. While the crocs still grew up to be far more dangerous than the chickens, this is some very intriguing research. True, there is probably no constructive reason for chickens to be bred with teeth in their mouth, but this is still intriguing.
This also shows off that the effect of atavism (which is when a trait disappears for several generations, and then resurfaces) can be used as an indicator that certain species evolved from other kinds. While the Scope Trial did happen roughly 90 years ago, there are still some people who could use just a little bit more convincing that evolution is both real and that it has happened to every existing species on this planet. In the case of a relationship between chickens and crocodiles, this is a fairly straight forward kind of obvious evidence that it has.

The skin needed for elbow transplants or skin grafts is taken from the scrotum of a cadaver. :wtf:
-
Not needing a transplant of that nature in the near future,,,,,,,,, thankfully. :faint:
-
I would believe that because the skin that is "cultured" for burns victims is taken from and started with babies' foreskins.
Aparently it is the best for growing new skin and otherwise it would be just thrown out.
I would have thought that the donations would have diminished in recent years though. :undecided:
We have a very good burns unit in Perth which uses some ground-breaking technology and is world-renowned. :)

In all seriousness, I read recently that this is one of the many things you can use a banana for.
We won't go into the other uses here, but apparently if you peel a banana and place the inside of the skin on insect bites, it relieves the swelling and itching quickly.
-
Thanks I'll give that a try (nothing else is working .. even a hay fever tablet and Eurax itch cream) :evil:
If I'm not ready to eat the banana I can always stick it back in the skin after and wrap a couple of rubber bands around it.. don't suppose anyone will notice :rofl:
-
Yes, that's one thing you could do with it.
Or you might find some other things here:

Florence, Italy was the first city to mint its own gold coins in 1252.

Yes, Dave, he did.
He filed for a patent on his new slicing-and-wrapping device. U.S.Patent No. 1,867,377 was issued to him on July 12, 1932.
Up until then, something else had claim to "the best thing since........." Despite years of exhaustive research, I have not found out what was the nest thing "before" sliced bread. :wacko:

Sliced bread was invented by Otto Rohwedder in 1927.
I wonder if he registered a patent, given that it's the best thing, well, ever.
Yes, Dave, he did.
He filed for a patent on his new slicing-and-wrapping device. U.S.Patent No. 1,867,377 was issued to him on July 12, 1932.
Up until then, something else had claim to "the best thing since........." Despite years of exhaustive research, I have not found out what was the nest thing "before" sliced bread. :wacko:
I prefer, "The best thing since canned beer."

Best thing since double pluggers. :D

Beer belongs in glass.
That's real beer, not that pommie rubbish. :happydance: :whistler:

C'mon Trev, hate is such a harsh word. I could understand if you said, "I prefer beer in a glass." I'm sure if I offered you a choice of a can of beer or a can of milk, I'm sure you'd choose the beer. :whistler:
I understand it is easier to get the cat to squat over a bottle, than it is to squat over a can, so you can get your beloved XXXX? :undecided:

BTW, I prefer beer in my belly!!

Glass is ok, but I prefer a can. Had too many beers in glass that hasn't been rinsed of detergent properly, that's a real beer killer IMO. But washed, rinsed & frosted is a perfectly acceptable transition from bottle to stomach. :D

The wind blows up the gorge, lifting the spray up over the lip and it then falls as rain, sometimes up to 500 yards or more away from the falls.

I was always taught North and South America are separate continents. Now some are being taught that Europe and Asia are one (Eurasia). Where does each start and stop?

Well, Europe starts and stops with an "E" while Asia... you know where I'm going with this... :P
I agree about the schooling origins - I was taught that The Americas comprised South and North America, and I do believe Oceania crept into my geography lessons somewhere along the line

Those two birds in your current avatar seem to be building quite a big nest too.

Did you know ... there is no way you can be sure that the colours you see are the same as the colours I see? :happydance:

Or indeed the colours a dog sees.

This is interesting, because I thought this as a child, before anyone ever suggested it. A bit like assuming a white sheep is white on both sides. :undecided:
-
Yes, I suspect we've all pondered how impossible it is to verify our brains all work the same way to the point that we can trust the conduits between senses and brain to be the same.
Did you know I invented soap impregnated shower sponges before they appeared on the market? :happydance:

They probably are! :snigger:
-
Yes, Pajero in Spanish means tosser.
And tosser is not what I wrote.

True.
