    'u’ed better belive ‘co its true ??????

    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??)

    The mind boggles as to how this was tested....

    Have you never seen a farmer "milking" a boar? It goes on for about 30 minutes and produces something like two pints of semen.

    Towards the end, the semen gets very 'gooey', sticky, and viscous, which under natural circumstances serves to seal the rest inside the sow.

    Come to think of it, I might have seen it on Blue Peter.

    Don't know about most of the rest, but this one's not the case....

    An extra one for you, since you mentioned dolphins:

    Dolphins spend about 30% of their day in some form of touching, caressing, or mating.
    (in my next life, I want to be a dolphin)

    Gawd, another of these lists full of c**p - this particular piece of waffle is based on a 1991 study by Coren and Halpern, which derived its statistics by, err, phoning round the relatives of recently deceased people, and asking what hand the deceased used. Given that left handedness was supressed until quite recently, and still is in many places, it wouldn't be surprising to find out that fewer older people are LH.

    Go here for some scholarly thought on this. Sorry, but this one's right up there alongside those non-echoing quacks. Lest anyone feel I'm being a bit over-sensitive about this particular Internet myth, imagine being asked what hand you used when getting an insurance quote...

    I found some more aswell:

    Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (And yet, there's that pig thing...)

    On average people fear spiders more than they do death.

    You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than by a poisonous spider.

    You can't kill yourself by holding your breath.

    Americans on the average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.

    Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming one-tenth of a calorie.

    In ancient Egypt, Priests plucked every hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes.

    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. (huh?)

    (After reading all these, all I can say is "Damn Pigs" )

    Seems fair enough, after all, death doesn't run around on 8 hairy little legs does it.

    UNLESS he's the death of spiders? A little spider in a cloak with a tiny little scythe? (I read too much Pratchett)

    I have a feeling that the quotation marks around "milking" are the clue here... it's a male we're talking about... Though I'm wondering about what ESG gets up to in his spare time...

    What on earth is black light? Surely black is the antithesis of light? Geeks - where are you when I need you?!

    It's a not-very-accurate name for ultraviolet radiation, the sort you get from UV tubes in discos (and the odd ceroc venue) that makes your bra glow through your top.

    Not sure, but doubtless it'd involve yanking...
