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.
* If you pass wind consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
* The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps blood out to the body to squirt 30 feet.
* 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.
* 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?)
* Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
* Butterflies taste with their feet.
* The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
* 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.
* 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.
* Starfish have no brains.
* Polar bears are left-handed.
