Some Science

I have categorised this as Spam, because I didn’t ask for the e-mail it came in.
However, it came from a friend, and I like it.
It is very educational, so I thought I would share it with you.

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 would have been 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 whilst its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male’s head off.
(Honey, I’m home. What the…?!)
A 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.
(Hey what about that pig??)

Half an hour…I wouldn’t like to have to sleep on the wet patch.
You’d be beyond caring
You obviously never worked with pigs, Grandad. It is not uncommon for a boar to leave his corkscrew (and it is shaped like one) behind when the 30mins are up. Not for me. I’ll go for the lion, me.
GD you crack me up. The cockroach one is just weird!
Grandad,
According to Chinese Astrology the following are
Years of the Pig - 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2020, 2031, 2043
Character of Persons born under this Sign
*A pig is not as smart as a dog in understanding human thought. It likes sleeping and eating and becomes fat. Thus it usually features laziness and clumsiness. On the positive side, it behaves itself, has no calculation to harm others, and can bring affluence to people. Consequently, pigs were once regarded as wealth.
People born in the Year of the Pig are honest and frank. They have a calm appearance and strong heart, but they lack patience and independence. As they do not like to talk in a roundabout way, they are thought to be unsociable. Luckily, they are tolerant and optimistic, so not until they become your friends can their virtue, advantages and fidelity to friendship be found.*
Do you still want to be a Pig?
Here am I happily contemplating my reincarnation as a pig, and along come Sneezy and Grannymar to shatter my dreams…. Ah well! *sigh*
Enjoyable read. We’ve been away in Bordeaux…hence lack of commenting lately!
It’s well for some!
Welcome back, John.
I’d love to see a left handed polar bear
I’m all for the banging the head against walls bit. It’s how I keep my figure.
And starfish DO have brains. If you don’t believe me, refer to ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘Spongebob Squarepants’. (I watch far too many children’s films far too regularly)
K8 - I think you had better stop banging your head off walls.
