I thought this could be a really interesting and entertaining thread of everyone saying really interesting facts and statistics that they know. Nothing too disgusting! I will start this off with a few of my own, enjoy!:
– It is impossible for a person to lick their elbow.
– On average right-handed people live seven years longer than left-handed people.
– Its been scientifically proven that for every son a women has, she will live around 40 weeks less than she otherwise would.
– A shrimp’s heart is in their head.
– In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand (or attempted to do so).
– It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
– More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.
– The “sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick” is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.
-Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over a million descendants.
-Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.
-23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their buttocks.
– In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders.
– Most lipstick contains fish scales.
– Like fingerprints, everyone’s tongue print is different.
– If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
– A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves
to death.
– Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour (Do not try this at home .. maybe at work)
– The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It’s like a human jumping the length of a football field.
– Butterflies taste with their feet.
– Elephants are the only animal that cannot jump (thankfully!)
– Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too.)
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 f….”)
