Here is some interesting trivia.

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 pass air consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough
gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (That one's
intuitively easy to understand, isn't it!

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (And you thought those Monty
Python guys didn't do any fact checking!)

A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (In my next life I want to be a pig!)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(still not over that pig thing!)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for
pleasure. (What about the pigs?!)

On average people fear spiders more than they do death.
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmm.....)

You can't kill yourself by holding your breath.

Americans on the average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.

Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a
calorie.

You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than by
a poisonous spider. (Moral: Always be willing to pay extra
for good champagne. Cheap champagne is not worth the risk)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do. (Doh!)

In ancient Egypt, Priests plucked every hair from their
bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes.

A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when
intoxicated. (How did they do that?)

Polar bears are left handed. (Which means they live, on average, 9 years less)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds, that makes the
catfish rank #1 for animal having the most taste buds. (Are our
palates just not sophisticated enough to appreciate the
complex taste of pond scum?)

The flea can jump 350 times its body length, It's like a
human jumping the length of a football field.

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

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the
males head off. (Honey, I'm home.. what the...)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (Yeah, baby!)

Butterflies taste with their feet. (Oh, Shit)

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

A cat's urine glows under a blacklight.

An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.

Starfishes haven't got brains.

After reading all these, all I can say is "Damn Pigs"
