Amazing facts

[Kim]

to lighten the mood for a bit. I make no claims to the accuracy of these "facts"

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 (OMG...!)

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 can be so tasty on the bottom of the 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 animal that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing....)

A cat's urine glows under a blacklight. (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 the pig?)

I think the Gluteus Maximus is the strongest muscle, not the tongue. Hmm

it depends on what you mean by strongest. ther is amount of force per pound of muscle, or total strenght, and there are different ways of measuring "strength" that give you different results.

and the mantids one is false (so every entomolgist tells me with a lot of eye-rolling.)

but i have verified the cockroach one. nine days is a maximum... but two days is no problem. they die cuz of dehydration, not starvation.

just to add to the pig thing... that must be why the porcine phallus is a bony corkscrew shape - it is shaped like that to keep the female from disengaging, and i guess you would have to have something like that if it was going to take you that long...

many other primates have sex for pleasure.

30 minutes....gee....Only if you can be a lion and a pig.

[Nanotech9]

Actually the strongest muscle in the body, by far, is the heart.
