I got them off the internet, and it is not like I actually verified each one.

"The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue"

no, its the gluteus-maximus.

You've dug up an old thread...

The first set is very...gross. Pretty gross also for the person finding the actual data for these statistics. Maybe all germophobes read stuff like this and is how they come to be.

 

[Jawz II]

heh...

anal gases

I just checked a 2 dollar bill, and that is very clearly a Canadian flag.

On a Canadian 2 dollar bill the flag flying over the parliament building appears to be an American flag. It's actually Canada's earlier flag of the Red Ensign.

-The Chico, California, City Council enacted a ban on nuclear weapons, setting a $500 fine for anyone detonating one within city limits.

How are they going to collect the fine???

I have weird facts too.
-The year 1987 was the 50th anniversary of Spam
-March 9th is Useless Facts and Trivia day.

So I was born on Useless Facts and Trivia day, in the 50th anniversary of Spam.

Spam is an acronym, meaning Supply Pressed American Meat.

Some useless facts about wolves:

Scientific name canis lupus.

Wolves have relatively poor frontal vision. They may not be able to recognize members of their own pack beyond 100 to 150 feet.

Nighttime vision for wolves is many times better than human vision in the day or night. Wolves can actually see much better and even much more clearly at night.

Wolves have incredibly good hearing and can hear sounds up to six miles away, including some high-pitched sounds that even a human can't hear, in the range where bats and porpoises produce sound. Even when it sleeps, a wolf's ears stand straight up so it can catch sounds made by other animals at all times.

There are five toes on a wolf's front paws and only four on the rear paws.

Wolves run on their toes. This lengthens their legs and makes it possible for them to run faster - up to 40 miles per hour, in fact.

Contrary to popular belief, wolves are not dangerous to people.

If a single wolf, or a pack, wanted to kill someone, it could probably do so without trouble. When killing prey, wolves are swift and silent. Wolves, though, are so afraid of man that in one incident they wouldn't even cross over snowshoe tracks.

Each family pack has a hunting territory of its own, and the pack wanders around the territory looking for prey. Territory sizes range from 50 to 150 square miles or more. Wolves leave fresh scent posts, or messages, marking the boundaries of its territories, by urinating.

The wolf's sense of smell is about 100 times better than a human's. It uses its sense of smell more than anything else to find prey, with the ability to smell prey before it can see it, more than a mile away if the wind is right.

The wolf's nose has about five times more surface area than a human's, so it can catch more smells from the air than you can. It can even sense the presence of an animal three days after it's gone.

When wolves howl together they harmonize, rather than howl the same note, creating an impression of more animals howling than actually are.

Wolves don't need to stand to howl. They can howl lying down or sitting.

There is no evidence that wolves howl at the moon, or more frequently during a full moon.

Wolves only infrequently bark, and it is a quiet "woof" more often than a dog-type bark. They do not bark continuously like dogs but woof a few times and then retreat.

With hunting or trapping in pits and other devices, wolves were completely wiped out in England by the early 1500's. Scotland got rid of its last wolf in the mid-1700's.

Today, the wolf is classified as an endangered species in all parts of the United States except Minnesota and Alaska.

Some strange coincidences between Lincoln and Kennedy:

Lincoln was elected president in 1860, Kennedy was elected in 1960.

Both were deepy involved in civil rights for negroids.

Both were assassinated on a Friday, in the presence of their wives.

Each wife lost a son while living at the White House.

Both men were killed by a bullet that entered the head from behind.

Lincoln was killed in Ford's theatre. Kennedy was killed in a Ford Lincoln convertible.

Both men were succeeded by vice presidents named Johnson and were southern democrats and former senators.

Andrew Johnson was born in 1808, Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908.

The first name of Lincoln's private secretary was John, the last name of Kennedy's private secretary was Lincoln.

John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939.

Both assassins were Southern extremists.

Both assassins were murdered before they could be bought to trial.

Booth shot Lincoln in a theatre and fled to a barn. Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theatre.

Lincoln and Kennedy each has seven letters.

Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson each has 13 letters.

John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald each has 15 letters.

 

[The Person]

_ Daily you will breath in 1 litre of other's anal gases

Must be the average. My family produces a lot of anal gases. (Especially me. (<--- Another useless fact. (If you don't plan to meet me, that is.)))

 

[BCLG100]

i knew about the whole hand shaking thing, but the others i didnt especially the farting one

 

[stratego]

An average person's yearly fast food intake will contain 12 pubic hairs.

Unless you eat at Arby's. In which case you'll intake 12 bovine pubic hair along with the first 12

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

Or you can just use it to run a tank

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
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.

Female praying mantis should just mate with cockroaches. That way after the head the gone she still has 9 more days of sex.

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

What's so amazing about that?

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

Not so.

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

What about the lion? It's the king of beast, if it was a chore, it wouldn't do it for 50 times a day.

Actually, recent research has shown it to be around age 26.

Makes sense really.

OH NO!!! History is repeating itself! So that means that in 2060, A new president will be elected, who will be killed with a shot to the back of the head, on a friday, by a man named Lee Harvy Booth Oswald! It's all so obvious now! We're doomed to be trapped in an endless causality loop! We're doomed! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!

 

[Dabomb18359]

how do you know you will still be alive then MMOOOWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

 

[Yuri2356]

Why would I need to be alive at the time of the event in order to realize that it's all just one big 100 year TIME LOOP? It's just long enough so that the average human will never live quite long ehough to see the events start to repeat.

The Matrix has you Neo. Follow the white Rabbit.

 

[Dabomb18359]

Well unless you live to be 102 years old!!! My grandparents said in their little town a 102-year-old lady just died. There's a 2% chance then that she could live through two of those cycles. WAM!

 

[Yuri2356]

I said the AVERAGE Human being. The % of the population live more than a century is so small that they would never unite and figure out the conspiracy!
