Who's hungry for some beens ?
(...)
--Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

I'd suggest using thin walls in cubicals in office.

--Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

:D
(...)
--The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

MMhhmm ^_^

--Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.

And if you're both-handed ?
(...)
--A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.

After i die i want to reincarniate as a pig :D
(...)
--Polar bears are left handed.

How the fuck they know that ?!?

--The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds, more than any other animal.

And there's sooo many thing they can taste on the bottom of a lake :/
(...)
--The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the males head off.

What a foreplay. BTW. There is a tribe in either South America or Africa in which the guys think that woman have teath in their pussies and are petrified of having sex LOL

--Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

If i won't be a pig i wanna be a lion

--Butterflies taste with their feet.

Almost as fascinating as with the catfish.
(...)
--An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.


I know such people

--Starfish haven't got brains.

I know this is in funny stuff but...

--Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
Very unlikely - I would assume that most primates have sex for pleasure.
And you state that a pig have a 30 minute orgasm.

--Did you know that you are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than by a poisonous spider?
Again I find that very hard to belive.

--Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.
Dont know where u found that, but thats just silly.

I think you missed the point of funnies...
:blink:

Nevertheless, i did look up the points, quickly, just outa interest..

Its incorrect: Dolphins and Pygmy Chimpanzee's (Bonobos) are the only species other than Humans to have "Sex for Pleasure" Source (http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/pleasure.htm)

The 2nd point i can believe, as 99.9% of spiders couldnt kill you with their venom (including Tarantula's) they will either have no effect, a slight iritation or make you ill... Added to which they usually run when a human approaches.

The 3rd point was probably based upon this:


There was a controversial study done in 1980 by Halpern & Cohen that suggested left-handed people had an average life expectancy of 9 years less than right-handed people. Data was based on second-hand information: surveys from the next-of-kin of recently deceased persons asking about right/left handedness and age of death. They found left-handed average age of death was 66; right-handed average age was 75.


I have no idea how correct that data is; however i would suggest that the word "Contraversial" means that it is not accepted universally...

:rolleyes:

I suggest you get out more... :P

Funny or not I just dident like you posting Urban legends as "facts".
Some kid might get the wrong idear.

And you better not trust the first link on the first page that google shows you.

I could probably show you 10 links that says the earth is flat -that dosent make it so.

And for the spiders: Spider bites have killed 15 in Texas since 1980, according to that state's agriculture department. Source (http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/06/19/other.attacks)
Think they would have outlawed champagne corks by now...

And I did think your post was funny, so relax.

haha - you sir truly are an arse - do you not understand that this is a "funny stuff" section? i mean ffs, if you dont like it, then you dont have to post!

Wrong idea? wrong idea? about what exactly?
can you prove any of these facts to be incorrect? well, huh, can you, can you? Google the sex for pleasure, and tell me that there arent a couple of thousand which say its true - go on...do it.
Telling us how many people in one state have died in 24 years from Spiders tells us nothing of the world, and how many people die from spiders as a proportion of those who die from corks now, does it? what do you aim to prove from posting that? And why would they outlaw champagne corks? a lot of people have accidents in cars, they arent outlawed. A lot of people die laughing at internet morons, but you aren't outlawed.


Anyhow, great post RF :D
