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 to squirt blood 30 feet.

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...?) (Did the gov't pay for this research??)

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

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 it's 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 it's 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
asshole upside the head.

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS:
Others see you as someone they should "handle
with care" You're seen as vain, self-centered,
and who is extremely dominant. Others may
admire you, wishing they could be more like
you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to
become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS:
Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile,
rather impulsive personality; a natural leader,
who's quick to make decisions, though not
always the right ones. They see you as bold
and adventuresome, someone who will try
anything once; someone who takes chances
and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being
in your company because of the excitement
you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming,
amusing, practical, and always interesting;
someone who's constantly in the center of
attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not
to let it go to their head. They also see you
as kind, considerate, and understanding;
someone who'll always cheer them up and
help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS:
Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful
& practical. They see you as clever, gifted,
or talented, but modest... Not a person who
makes friends too quickly or easily, but
someone who's extremely loyal to friends you
do make and who expect the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you
realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally that it takes you a long
time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS:
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.
They see you as very cautious, extremely
careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really
surprise them if you ever did something
impulsively or on the spur of the moment,
expecting you to examine everything carefully
from every angle and then, usually decide
against it. They think this reaction is caused
partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous, and
indecisive, someone who needs looking after,
who always wants someone else to make the
decisions & who doesn't want to get involved
with anyone or anything. They see you as a
worrier who always sees problems that don't
exist. Some people think you're boring.
Only those who know you well know that you
aren't.
