Bizarre facts.
If you yelled for eight years, seven months and six days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it!)
If you pass air consistently for six years and nine months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (That one's easy to understand, isn't it, but be very careful not to follow though?) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 9.5 m. (And you thought those Monty Python guys didn't do any fact checking!) A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (In my next life I want to be a pig!) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Still not over that pig thing!) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about pigs 30 min orgasm?) On average, people fear spiders more than they do death. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmm...) You can't kill yourself by holding your breath. Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming one-tenth of a calorie. You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than by a poisonous spider. (Moral: Always be willing to pay extra for good champagne. Cheap champagne is not worth the risk.) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do. (So those teachers that used to whack your left hand with a ruler and make you write with your right hand were actually trying to do you a favour, the miserable, misguided, fascist, sadistic bastards.) In ancient Egypt, priests plucked every hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes. (Now that's a real leg crosser!) A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (How did they know that?) Polar bears are left-handed. (This means they live, on average, nine years less.) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (Are our palates just not sophisticated enough to appreciate the complex taste of pond scum?) The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's the equivalent of a human jumping the length of a football field. A cockroach will live nine days without its head, before it starves to death. (Creepy!) 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...?') Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (Yeah, baby lucky b@ast@rds!) Butterflies taste with their feet. (No shit!) Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. A cat's urine glows under a black light. (That's in case you can't smell it.) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Starfish haven't got brains.

the Kiwi test when they came to the final conclusion that the reason the head on a man's pen#s is larger than the shaft. Is to prevent his hand from flying off, and hitting him in the forehead.
