very interesting and funny

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

(creepy)

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

(Don't 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 bod y length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. ( 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 say...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know.)



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.
(Okay, 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)

Okay - these totally made me laugh out loud - and then I had a coughing fit and had to go sit down.
Thanks for making my day!

I love interesting facts like those.
I believe some days it would be dangerous to light a match in our house because their are 3 people in this house that produce atomic bombs.
I told Merrianne that I will outlive her because she is left handed.
