Interesting Facts
1. 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.)
2. 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!)
3. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!)
4. A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
5. A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.)
6. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home......maybe at work.)
7. 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....?!")
8. The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes...damn lucky pig...can you imagine??)
9. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
10. Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity.)
11. Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.)
12. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm........)
13. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
14. Elephants are the only animal that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing....)
15. A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
16. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people who are like that.)
17. Star fish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.)
18. Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)
19. Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)

"Huskies are known for having one eye a different color than the other. David Bowie and Marilyn Manson both have one eye that is a different color from the other. The government doesn't want you to know that Marilyn Mason and David Bowie are both huskies."

I might dispute number 19. Because they have shown that the bonobo chimps will have sex for reasons other than to make babies. They fight, they have sex, they eat they have sex, the males will even gather food and give it to the females so they can have sex with them. As far as I know they are the only other species that practices prostitution. lol

Yeah, Chimps are strange creatures but I have never dated one so I can't attest one way or the other on that.

I once either saw a video or read something where they talked about a chimp earning tokens and basically using them to buy porn. I figure if it's doing that it must get pleasure from it.

Yeah I've heard that saying. I kind of think when they were talking about porn they were talking about what would be porn to the chimp. So like it would want to look at pictures of female chimps and touching it's self.
