I apologize in advance if this isn't appropriate. But it is pretty funny🙂



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.

(O.M.G.!)


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 a 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??)
 
Some women think all men are pigs... after reading this, I think some of us wouldn't mind it at all 🙂
 
Funny. Two points of clarification:

The first, regarding strongest muscle. I vaguely recollected reading that the lower jaw muscle was the strongest. So I looked it up (can't believe I'm doing this). A wikipedia link for your further enlightenment:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles
Scroll down to 'the strongest human muscle'.

Second, (and this should be of interest to photogs) what the heck is a *black* light?
 
A tree slug can fall off its tree. Though not technically a jump, it is a whole lot more air than an elephant can catch.

Huh?????

Turtles?

Tree slugs?

Land based mammals perhaps?

As for elephants catching some air... Dumbo?!? 😀

"Black Light" is usually a UV lamp. Causes certain things to glow.

They are kinda like a chimpanzees (a bit smaller, IIRC) - and notorious for their sex life (which is not only used for fun, but also for keeping their societies ordered & unified).

Hey, nature documentaries are my favorite programs on TV (particularly those from the BBC)...

BTW, there are plenty of other animals who have sex solely for fun - we don't even have to look for the exotic - think about dogs.

Well, there are numerous species with homosexual individuals (dogs are one of those; anybody remeber that story about the gay penguins in a German zoo?), where sex clearly is not inteded for reproduction - so they are having it for fun!

Second, (and this should be of interest to photogs) what the heck is a *black* light?

It's sometimes used as slang for an ultraviolet light, and also sometimes used as slang for a darkbulb, an electronic device used for absorbing unwanted light rays such as light leaks in darkrooms.

More information about the darkbulb is available here. See also this more extensive listing citing the original source, the referreed scientific periodical The Journal of Irreproducible Results.






And reemember, the Internet was created by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration, an agency of the U.S. Government, so everything you read on it is guaranteed by law to be 100% true.

Ever wonder why Disney doesn't promote Dumbo more? I think the underlying story that if you get really drunk, you may discover that you can fly, might have something to do with it.

Anybody else remember the "Darksucker Theory"?

No, but I remember a very funny Jimmy Stewart film quote about an old fashioned light bulb. Something like this:

"You don't call that a light, you call it a dark. Turn it on in broad daylight and it becomes pitch black."

Of course it's funny when he says it. 🙂 🙂
