Facts to make you smile

 INTERESTING  FACTS  TO  MAKE  YOU  SMILE
 

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.
       
 
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?)
 
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??)
 
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to, maybe even a chuckle.
In other words, send it to everyone!
            (and God  love that pig!)

Great stuff, Stew.  Thanks!

Hey!  If a 6' man jumped 350 times his body length, he would go 2100 feet!  You guys must have really long
football fields!!

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

Wait..  Snakes can't jump either.

 
The only thing else I have to say is...   Oink, oink, oink, roar! 
I wanna be a piglion.

That's not jumping!  That's falling.  There's a difference, you know.

Pedant speaking:

In broad terms, multi-cellular life forms are either animals or plants. A snake isn't a plant. Animals come in many flavours, like insects, fishes, reptiles, birds and mammals. Like you, I'm one of the mammal sorts of animal. A snake is a reptile, but they are animals too, even though they aren't warm-blooded like us.

I agree, another interesting fact; a snake is a vegetable if I remember correctly.
