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 fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Still not over that pig thing!) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What's the deal with the pigs?) On average people fear spiders more than they do death. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue (Unless you are a pig). 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 1/10 of a calorie. You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than by a poisonous spider. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do. A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. A cockroach will live nine days without it's 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 males head off (Honey, I'm home.. what the...) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (In my next life I still want to be a pig...quality over quantity!) Butterflies taste with their feet. Starfishes haven't got brains. After reading all these, all I can say is "Damn Pigs" Now every time someone calls you a pig, you can say, "I wish".
