These "facts" are not facts.
But they are fun!
(HUMOR page, remember?)

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, eh?)

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

On average people fear spiders more than they do death.
(Makes sense to me, the next life is better than this one.-DLDII)

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

You can't kill yourself by holding your breath.

Americans on the average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.
(I REALLY don't believe it is that small-DLDII

Every time you lick a stamp,
you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.
(Licking?)

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.

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

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.
(I wonder if someone ever really tested it.
I can see the grant application in my mind's eye-DLDII)

Polar bears are left handed.

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
That makes the catfish rank #1 for animal having the most taste buds.

The flea can jump 350 times its body length.
That is 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.
(There are those who suggest that the average manager probably could, too.DLDII)

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.

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

A cat's urine glows under a blacklight.

An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.
(A few of my co-workers are direct descendants of the ostrich.)
Starfish don't have brains.
(Some of the others are descendants of the starfish.)

If you yell for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days,
you will produce enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
If you fart for 6 years and 9 months,
you will produce enough gas to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

After reading all these, all I can say is "Damn Pigs"
