Factoids & Fun - Particularly for the pigs!

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 does it? Starbucks are not worried!)

If you fart 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!)

A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (In my next life I want to be a pig!)

Interlude contemplation: How did they figure that one out? and why?

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Great. But still can't get over that pig thing.)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)

Interlude contemplation: So, pigs getting 30-minute orgasms? Doesn't seem fair to me.

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmm.....thats what I’m talkin’ about!)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do. (If you're ambidextrous do you split the difference?)

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of....what exactly?)

Interlude contemplation: Did taxpayers pay for this research?

Polar bears are left handed. (Who knew....? Who cares? Did they ask them?)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What can be so tasty on the bottom of the pond?)

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes…. 30 minutes…..can you imagine?? And why pigs for gods sake??)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head, before it starves to death. (OK that’s disgustingly creepy.)

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. ("Hi Honey, I'm home. What the F**k….")

Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (In my next life I STILL want to be a pig...quality over quantity! But it's still good to be a lion.)

Butterflies taste with their feet. (That’s, err, disgusting and almost as bad as catfish)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. (Reminds me of some people I know!)

Starfish don't have brains. (Reminds me of some people I know!!!)

So based on all these little snippets of information, after contemplating all the details, all I can say is.............Lucky pigs!
