    Default tasty tidbits

    (My vote is for item #4.)



    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 an hour. (Do not 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. (OK, 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??)

    Default A Classic Headline

    One of the all-time

    classic headlines appeared in the San Francisco Examiner about 20 years ago. It read:

    \"Headless Sex

    Debunked\"

    With that lead, one just has to read the article. The following story explained that this tale of the

    male praying mantis was false (according to a new science journal article. )

    Hence, your statement \"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.\" has been debunked.

    Of course, I suspect that my head is rather useless too once I\'m in

    the act.

    the male in order to copulate, but they can continue to do so even afterward. It was theorized that mate

    selection was based on genetic superiority and by killing her mate (but successfuling mating) no other females can

    breed w/ him, thereby ensuring superior genes for her blood line. IIRC.

    Someone once

    did a study on praying mantis couples to determine whether the females were simply hungry. The researchers found a

    significant improvement in male survival if the female was fed just prior to allowing them to mate.

    I know when I\'m really hungry I rip off my girlfriend\'s head and eat it. Needless to

    say, I go through a lot of girlfriends.
