    Ya know, sometimes when I am left alone to ponder things other than Rockets stuff, I scare me: [​IMG]

    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.

    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?)

    On average people fear spiders more than they do death.

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

    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. (THERE'S THAT TONGUE THING AGAIN)

    You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than by a poisonous spider.

    Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do. (If you're ambidextrous do you split the difference?)

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

    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 catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. That makes the catfish #1 for the animal having the most taste buds. (Animal??)

    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. (Creepy! Did I need to know this????)

    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. (In my next life I still want to be a pig... quality over quantity!)

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

    Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

    A cat's urine glows under a blacklight.

    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! They often suffer with "government jobs" I've heard)

    After reading all these, all I can say is ..."Damn ...... Pigs!!! ...... Who woulda thought ????"

    Cheers. [​IMG]

    hehehe...

    Seen most of them before, but still funny and amusing.

    Are you sure about the "praying mantis" thing? That seem whacked!

    I guess Mr. Miller should be proud of his nickname. [​IMG]

    Sorry, Popeye but you are wrong on the jumping elephant thing. Stanley Roberts and Thomas Hamilton also cannot jump.
