Random Facts
Tell random facts that you know. The following facts i got from someone on the degrassi site:
I'm sure some of this has already been said but here are some more facts... 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 farted 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. (O.M.G.!) A ****roach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home...... maybe at work.) The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) 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.) |
Umm I believe some of that stuff is inappropiate for younger audiences (and we do have some here).

A woman wearing something that covers up there beautiful figure is concidered "Ok", while another woman wearing a dress is concidered a "Sex symbol". Wierd...
A human living in a world of pollution, killing, hate ect live to about 80 years for wemon and 70 for men, while most of the great apes living wild and free live half of that. Wierd... We can make money from paper and speacial oils, and change from minerals, yet we can't feed the hungry or help the homeless. We only care about how much money we make. Wierd... Im still the sexiest guy on PC, j/k XD... Well, I have yet to see any other guys on PC so its pretty unknow. Wierd... |
a mole can dig a tunnel 300 feet long in just one night

err... it comes from my agenda ^_^;
And who knows where that list comes from... maybe it's posted on the internet and etc... |
Hmm......
A normal kid eats 1,500 Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by high school Though he wasn't blind, Edison preferred Braille to reading It is estimated that about 1/2 to 5 million plants an animals are yet to be discovered A white shark is always hungry, no matter how uch it eats Women blink nearly twice as much as men More people die from bees than shark attacks In fire deaths, smoke is what usually kills the victim, not the fire Texas is the only state that can hold their flag up as high as the country's flag Dogs can only see in black and white The bible is the most abundant book in the world |
heh.. I know about the bible one. Those book selling rating contests don't include the bible in it as the bible always wins those contests if it participated.
There's a LOT more than just a mere 5 million organisms to be discovered... According to the tree of life theory, we only know rougly about 10% of all organisms known today... God is certainly creative to make all those organisms. And even more people dies from mosquitoes than bees ^_^; Iceland has grass and it's not even affected by permafrost. Greenland is almost always covered in snow, and suffers from permafrost all year around. Ironic isn't it... |
About Iceland.....
Iceland is a really great island, but when vikings found it, they didn't want everyne to go there(How greedy), so they named it iceland to lure everyone away from it |

Well, that doesn't say when exactly at what age lefties die. You could die at 100. -0_0-

err... it's not like there's that much of a difference in terms of what you can do between 80 and 90... so I don't see what's the threat for our fellow lefties.
Does it say anything about people who can't hold a pencil correctly? I hope those people won't live an even shorter live than lefties... (Lefties? Righties? ... Vysage...? Vysage Card for Triple Triad?) |
I'm sure that it's nothing to do with whether you *are* a lefty or not. It's probably just statistical. After all, 23% of people are lefties so if you analyze the length of people's lives, you're sure to get more long lives in the 77% that are righties.

If 1 man dies in a war it's considered a casualty, if a million men die, it's considered a statistic..
wierd.. BOO ya! |

Actually, DragonTrainer, dogs can see in a few shades of other colors, just not that vibrant.
Opossom can't carry rabies thanks to a slightly lower body temperature from other mammals Calico cats only come in female Opossom are North America's only marsupial The "wild" mustang of the americas are actually feral and were a result of escaping/being stolen from spanish colonists Guinea pigs are born fully developed and can eat solid food right away The polar bear's fur is not white but see-through Bees are deaf Termites don't digest wood, it is actually an organism living in their bodies that does it Hippos are more likely to attack humans than crocodiles In hyenas, the females are dominant and her sex organ is similar to that of a male's In wolf packs, only the alpha male and female can reproduce A mule is a sterile offspring of a mother horse and a father donkey while a hinny (sp?) is the sterile offspring of a mother donkey and father horse. The mule usually inherits the horse's size with the donkey's tremendous strength while a hinny usually inherits the donkey's size and the horse's average strength Mules can take a leap standing in place, unlike horses who need a running start Pink river dolphins of South America have flexible bodies which can bend and have alsmot no dorsal fin. This is so they can navigate rivers more easily |
I got one!..o r a few lol!
Debra Winger was the voice of E.T. Pearls melt in vinegar. It takes 3,000 cows to supply the NFL with enough leather for a years supply of footballs. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married. The 3 most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca-Cola and Budweiser, in that order. It's possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs. Humans are the only primates that don't have pigment in the palms of their hands. Ten percent of the Russian government's income comes from the sale of vodka. The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." uses every letter in the alphabet. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is "uncopyrightable". Stewardesses' is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand. Average life span of a major league baseball: 7 pitches. A duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why. The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases. The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American Pie." (Thus the name of the Don McLean song.) Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history. Spades - King David Clubs - Alexander the Great Hearts - Charlemagne Diamonds- Julius Caesar |
I should rephrase my wolf pack fact, only the alpha male and female are ALLOWED to reproduce
Earthworms are hermaphrodites meaning they are both male and female at the same time Only female mosquitoes drink blood; the males are the much bigger ones that look like flying spiders (and scare the heck out of me ;D) There is only one variety of platypus Vultures are the only vertebrates whose entire diet consists of only already dead meals A an owl's ears are located asymmetrically (if I spelled that right) |

Narwale doesn't have an "H" in it like other whales, but poeple use wither one.
Narwales are the only horned whales. Baluga whales are the only whales that can move there heads without turning there whole body, slighly around 30 degree's I think. A king snake isn't vemomous, but eats other snakes that are. A sea snake is the most venomous snake on the planet. |
