Useless Factoids? Come on in. Reply #18 – July 31, 2007, 10:22:16 PM 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 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!) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have shag for pleasure. Is that why Flipper was always smiling? And, why isn't the pig included in this list?) On average people fear spiders more than they do death. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. 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...? Did the U.S. government pay for this research??) Polar bears are left handed. (Who knew....?) A pen 15roach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death. The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates shag by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. Wow!!! You look great! What the... ...Aaaaaaarrrg!!!") Butterflies taste with their feet. (Oh, yum!) An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that, too!) Quote Selected

Means less than 1% fresh water is found in lakes, rivers and underground.The Peregrine Falcon around 200mph (320 km/h) is the fastest bird on the planet, the top speed recorded is 242.3mph (390 km/h). - !Source: http://www.wonderfulinfo.com/winfo/earth1.htm & Modern Marvels.

The 17.3-month flight mission succeeded in collecting all the data needed to carry out this unprecedented, direct experimental test of Einstein's general theory of relativity—his theory of gravity. http://einstein.stanford.edu/Useless factoid?QuoteBack in the mid to late 80's, an IBM compatible computer wasn't considered a hundred percent compatible unless it could run Microsoft's Flight Simulator.
