Nestled amongst my email today...
... was this little snippet from my friend, the lovely and talented A-N. Yet another stunning installment for your 'file under 'T' for trivia' category...
- 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 passed gas 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. (Wow!)
- A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
- A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy. I'm still not over the pig.)
- Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home. Maybe at work.)
- 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...?!")
- The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes... lucky pig... can you imagine???)
- The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
- Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life... quality over quantity!)
- Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.)
- The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm..)
- Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
- Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing..)
- A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
- An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)
- Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that, too.)
- Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)
- Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that Pig???)
