amusing, useless trivia

Post by pryjmaty »

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 produce to created 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 9 days without it's head before it starves to death.
(Creepy)
(I'm still not over the pig)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories per hour.
(Do not try this at home.....maybe at work)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while it's head is attatched to it's body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
(Honey, I'm home! What the f.....?)

The flea can jump 350 times it's 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 tastebuds.
(What could be so tasty at the bottom of a river?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life.....quality over quantity)

Butterfly's taste with their feet.
(Something I ALWAYS wanted to know)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
( :twisted: )

Right handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left handed people.
(If you are ambidexterous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that can not jump.
(I'm thinking that this is 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 it's 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, will they live longer?)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig???)
I'm Jewish. I don't work out. If god had wanted us to bend over, she would have put diamonds on the floor.

And here I understood that French Horn players had the best tongues. Never kissed one, myself... the last wind instrumentalist I've kissed played saxophone and he was quite good as I recall. I'm an oboist myself. It requires a rather tight embochure. Draw what conclusions you wish at my abilities... :twisted:

If I remember correctly, most of the studies that stat comes from are really old and flawed.

Now the men living less than women does have a societal basis, due to many men being reluctant to admit they're in pain and go to the doctor.
