Did You Know ???

[Woody]

and i just found some more.....

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.) ​

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (i'm sure that will come in handy some day....)

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. (i know from experience! )


The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (i'm not convinced to become a flea depsite this)


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. (OK, 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?)


Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)


Cheers

Here are a few more for you all:

* The honeybee kills more ppl worldwide than all the poisonous snakes combined ... I still don't like snakes.

* Each year insects eat a third of the worlds food crop .... The insects can go as well..lol.

* During a 24hr period, the average human will breaathe 23,040 times, exersise 7 million brain cells and speck 4,800 words .... No wonder we r tired at the end of the day.


*The hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards .... smart little bird.

* Only the female duck can quack .... I am not to sure on that one, I am sure I have heard a drake quack.


* During a kiss as many as 278 bacteria colonies are exchanged .... Makes you think twice really.

* The average human body contains enough phosphorous to make 2,200 match heads ... I didn't realise I was that flamable.


* No 2 spider webs are the same ... nor are snowflakes.


*It is estimated that at any one time, 0.7% of the worlds population is drunk ... I'm glad that I am not one of them.


*The ant can lift 50 times its own weight and can pull 30 times its own weight ... I am so glad they r so small.


*The electric chair was invented by a dentist ... I will have to think twice about going to a dentist now.


* Chocolate stimulates the release of endorphins in the body. Endorphins enhance one's mood and block pain ...... Quick, give us more chocolate ???

I have found some more :

* Lemons contain more sugar than strawberries ..... so why r they so sour ?

* Boanthropy is a disease which a person thinks they're an ox .... not one I would like ....

* Reindeer like to eat bananas .... so do I ... yummy ...

* Mosquito repellants don't repel. The spray blocks the mosquitos' sensors so they don't know you're there .... and even that doesn't work ....

* The largest cell in the human body is the female reproductive cell, the ovum. The smallest is the male sperm ...who would have thought ...

* In the course of an lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders ..... I will never sleep again or if I do then I will tape my mouth shut ...
