Just a few totally useless facts...

Did you know that:
·         If you screamed for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would produce enough energy to heat a cup of coffee? (Hardly worth the effort.)
·         If you break wind  continuously for 6 years and 9 months it will produce enough gas to effectuate a nuclear bomb? (Now we’re talking!)...
·         When your heart pumps blood around your body, the pressure is so strong it can squirt 914,40 cm? (Oh My God!)
·         A pig’s orgasm lasts for 30 minutes? (In my next life I want to be a pig!)
·         A cockroach can live for 9 days without its head before it dies? (Creepy!)
·         If you bang your head in the wall you use 150 calories an hour? (Don’t try this at home. At work, perhaps...? It might help...)
(Still not over that thing with the pig!)
·         The male stick insect can not mate while its head is still attached to the body. The female takes initiative to sex by tearing the male’s head off? (Honey, I’m home! What th....?!)
·         A flea can jump as far as 350 times the length of its body? That corresponds to a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes... lucky pig. Can you even imagine that?!?)
·         The catfish has more than 27 000 tastebuds? (What can possibly be that tasty on the sea bed?)
·         Some lions mate more than 50 times a day? (I would still like to be a pig in my next life – quality before quantity.)
·         Butterflies taste with their feet? (Always wanted to know that!)
·         The strongest muscle in your body is your tongue? (Hmmmmmm.....)
·         Right-handed people live, in average, 9 years longer than left-handed? (Which is good for me!)
·         Elephants are the only animals which can’t jump? (OK, makes sense...)
·         A cat’s urine illuminates under black light? (Wonder who came up with the idea to pay someone to do the research?)
·         An Ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain? (I know a few people with the exact same problem)
·         A starfish has no brain? (I know a few people like that as well...)
·         Polar bears are left-handed? (If they change hand, will they live a lot longer?)
·         Human beings and dolphins are the only two species which have sex for the fun of it? (What about the pig??????)
