USEFUL BITS OF INFORMATION TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE DAY

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 fart 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.
(Don't think I will test this one)

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.
(Is that why Flipper was always smiling? And, why isn't the pig
included in this list?)

On average people fear spiders more than they do death.

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hmmmmm.....)

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
(From drinking little bottles of...? Who pays for this research??)

Polar bears are left-handed.
(Who knew? Who cares!)

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

A cockroach can live nine days without its head before it starves to
death.

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....")

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

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Oh, jeez!)

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish don't have brains.
(I know some people like that too!)

Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to
frown. BUT it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and smack the
ba$tard in the head.
