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??)

Do you use stumble per chance? I saw these when using stumble.

Actually I disagree with the last one, I'm certain that other apes have sex for pleasure as well. I say "other" apes because humans are apes by definition and not many people know that.

One thing I can tell you is that 100% of Bobono Chimps are bisexual - how fitting for the discussion.:bigrin:

Are there bisexual dolphins?

I'm sure there must be. I'll look it up.


Yes.

From wiki:

Amazon Dolphin

The Amazon River dolphin or boto has been reported to form up in bands of 3-5 individuals enjoying group sex.[33] The groups usually comprise young males and sometimes one or two females. Sex is performed in non-reproductive ways, using snout, flippers and general rubbing, without regards to gender.[33] They will sometimes perform homosexual penetration of the blowhole, the only known example of nasal sex.[34] The males will sometimes also perform sex with tucuxi males, a small porpoise.

Bottlenose Dolphins

Bottlenose Dolphin males have been observed working in pairs or larger groups to follow and/or restrict the movement of a female for weeks at a time, waiting for her to become sexually receptive. The same pairs/groups have also been observed engaging in ardent sexual play with each other.

Janet Mann, Georgetown University professor of biology and psychology, argues that the strong personal behavior among male dolphin calves is about bond formation and benefits the species in an evolutionary context.[27] She cites studies showing that these dolphins later in life as adults are in a sense bisexual, and the male bonds forged earlier in life work together for protection as well as locating females to reproduce with.

I just remembered that this is not true. One other example is the Rhino, it can't jump either.

Ayup, bisexuality is totally unnatural. Everyone knows this. It is why we are called freaks of nature.

Interested in buying a bridge? ;)

I disagree with the last - Bononbo Chimps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo) sure seem to be having fun :P

No, I don't stumble (I used to when I got drunk).
This was emailed to me and instead of a forward, I posted instead.
Strickly for amusement. :bigrin:

Well in that case be careful. These factoids often are rife with myths.
