Humors

Some things make us guffaw (LOL) or laugh so much we can’t seem to stop (ROFL), but others make us feel a bit like laughing but mostly make us grin. Here’s a list of mildly humorous facts (are they really?) that made me grin (MMG).

• 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??)

I’m unsure where this originated, but I found it on several dozen blogs, some dating back to 2004. It’s also circulating in e-mail. For the curious, here’s a list of Web spots that included the line about banging one’s head on the wall. WARNING: These links are unproofed.
