    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.)

    Well they probably already know what it means so it wouldn't matter but I'm not apart of this so don't go flaming me.
     
    Indeed, I?ve gotten this thing in email too. *edits the bad stuff*
     
    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...

    I swear someone said everything you just posted on another forum.
     
    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

    ?but lefties have more fun during their slightly shorter life! ;p So that?s?good. O.o;
     
    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..

    err... isn't the saying suppose to be "one death is a tragedy. One million death is a statistic?" Unless we're talking about two very similar but different quote. I got mine from Stalin... and it makes quite a lot of sense o.O;
