Useless facts for a Friday

Did You Know...

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 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??)

Hmmmm.... Interesting. I had heard that the strongest muscle in the body is actually the jaw muscle. Plus, I think I've also heard that some primates have been observed trading food for sex in their own primitive form of prostitution. If they aren't doing it for pleasure, then why give up the food? Just to help them keep up the population? How the heck does anyone know that dolphins are "doing it" for pleasure???? Confused

Wait a second??? Why are there two of the same threads?

Wow, I kind of feel like a loser now that I'm the only one who's responding to this thread, and everyone else is responding to the duplicate. Crying or Very sad

So I'm guessing that the female pig is the one who has the ridiculously long orgasm. I'm guessing the male pig has a pretty big ego after he leaves her and she remains in a convulsing orgasmic stupor for the next thirty minutes. Gives him plenty of time to catch the end of the football game without any interruptions.

Actually, would pigs actuallly watch a game that involves tossing around a "pigskin"? Maybe they like baseball. Either way, I'm sure he likes the peace and quiet.

Dave W, You have given this way too much thought. I don't know how I ended up posting 2 threads?? Sorry to confuse you. Shocked

wake_chik, what the hell are you doin in your profile pic, a bit of kung fu fighting on the boat????

nick e[V]ans - refer to the other thread entitled the same as the current... the explanation awaits you there

It is my duty to browse the forums on Friday night and help those on the other side of the world find answers to their questions Colorful

nick e[V]ans - this is an ingenius idea... but I think my house is dry... WAIT... there is a bottle of Amerretto (sp?) upstairs... nice...

OK, I've made my decision. I like this version of "useless facts for a friday" better than the other one. The other one started out strong, but then kswiss made that stupid post with the big gap in the middle. It totally screws up the flow of the thread. So this one is much cooler. Rolling Eyes

So I think either wakechik misunderstood the question or is just trying to confuse us more. When asked what she was doing in her profile pic, she replied "trying to make a point....." or some such nonsense. I think we all deserve a better explanation than that.

looks like Maestro's out for the night, good work son

Dave W, whats with kswiss ruining perfectly good threads?? i've noticed that a bit

nick e[V]ans, filter for the f word.

Bill Y Bob, yeah, I don't know what I really did wrong. I made one prank.....funny or not that is for each person to decide. (seemed funny at the time....now seems like a waste of time) Don't know what their deal is but really....I don't care.

Whoa! kswss, are you starting to sober up or what?? Shocked

I was just joking around, and trying to turn this into a stupid competition to see which version of "useless facts for a friday" would stay on top. I was just looking for any reason to say that this thread was cooler and your "gap post" was just something that jumped out at me as easy to rip on. Sorry. Rolling Eyes

Next time I'll pick someone else's random post. Not trying to single you out or anything.

Dave W, no worries...I was a little under the influence last night. I did think it was hilarious though that you were carrying on a conversation w/ yourself. I've never seen to identical posts both make it this far though.
