    Did you know:

    If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have
    produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

    If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is
    produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

    A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.

    Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

    Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for
    pleasure.

    Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than
    left-handed people do.

    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.

    Polar bears are left handed.

    The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

    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.

    Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

    Butterflies taste with their feet.

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

    Starfish don't have brains.

    I thought chimpanzees experienced pleasure during sex.

    For all you no good, dirty, rotten scoundrels, don't go there. You know where I'm talking about. That was a legitimate inquiry I made about chimpanzees.

    Male mantids can indeed copulate with their heads attached to their bodies. In fact, a good majority of them are able to finish the act intact by leaping quickly off of the female and running away as soon as the act of insemination is complete.

    Alas, those males that are slow or lazy do run the great risk of having their heads bitten off if they hang around too long after sex.

    Not true. Bonobos (a type of monkey found in Africa) also have sex for pleasure and to relieve stress. I learned that in Anthropology class.

    I don't want to know about anyone having sex with a dolphin, even if it was for pleasure.

    I hope you're not insinuating anything about my former boyfriends. Because their deaths were all horrible, tragic, tasty accidents.

    I once watched a documentary on Bonobos... those things are freaks. Their sexual/social hierarchy were quite interesting...

    Smeg, in Australia they have Dolphins, in Texas they have sheep….er…cattle. [​IMG]

    Interesting, I was just reading an article the other day about instincts. Specifically about sexual instincts. The article was discussing this very topic. Species that have sex for pleasure.

    Yep, you guessed it. The three species that have sex for pleasure were humans, dolphins, and Bonobos (several other species of monkeys as well, but Bonobos were mentioned in the article).

    DoD


    “I once watched a documentary on Bonobos... those things are freaks. Their sexual/social hierarchy were quite interesting...”

    You are so right! But I have to say humans are a little freakier if you ask me.

    But the most interesting thing about the article was the whole premise about humans being they only one with the problem of homosexuality. It seems that each of the other species have no problem showing affection to either males or females of there own kind. Its natural, sort of a kinship thing.

    How’s that for off topic…

    Carry On
