Trivia
« on: January 12, 2009, 09:00:28 AM »
One of those useless messages doing the rounds via email:
 
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. OMG!
 
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. In my next life, I want to be a pig.
 
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. Creepy. (I'm still not over the pig.)
 
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 body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?
 
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond or river?
 
Some lions mate over 50 times a day. I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity.
 
Butterflies taste with their feet . Something I always wanted to know.
 
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. Hmmmmmm......
 
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.
 
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. What about that pig??

Did you hear that the govt wants to tax farmers for the methane put out by cows? {I won't get into taxing a natural occurance}.
Three things will happen: 1) some scientist will get millions of dollars to find a diet that cows can eat and not produce as much gas. 2) another scientist will get millions to make a "beano" for cows. 3) some scientist will figure out on average how much gas humans will produce and will try to tax you for it. Of course if you eat alot of beans your tax will be higher!!!! ??? ???

NYC alread has "fat taxes" - elevated taxes on foods that are considered overly fattening and unhealty. Such foods include soda, hot dogs, fast food, etc.

Not enough hours in the day.  50 x 1/2 hour = 25 hours.  Not enough time.

25 hours a day!  That's a paradox there buddy!  We'll have none of that... Go heavy on the pig and a bit less on the lion!
