Did you know that:

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

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out of the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (I've actually heard this discussed on AW before)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death!

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

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.

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

Butterflies taste with their feet.

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (I'm a lefty, well, sort of ambidextrous; do I split the
difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.


Polar bears are left-handed. (so they're south-paws, harharhar)

In one of THOSE moods. Look out people, no one is
Ok, here's my input for useless trivia for today (i just found it under a pile in my brain)-
The worst winter drivers in the U.S. are from Minnesota (this was in a magazine, just can't remember which one). Are y`all scared yet? Minnesota sees like 6 months of snow and ice and they can't drive in it (worst part is that i used to live a couple miles from Minnesota *shudder*).
