    Did you know...

    01. The muscles in your heart have the strength to shoot your blood 10 meters in the air.

    02. Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

    03. The body’s strongest muscle is our tongue :p.

    04. A pig’s orgasm lasts 30 mins!!

    05. Statistically, people are more afraid of spiders than they are of dying.

    06. All polar bears are left handed!

    07. Crocodiles cannot stick out their tongue :p.

    08. A cockroach can live 9 days without it’s head. It only dies because it cannot eat.

    09. Humans and Dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure.

    10. A duck’s quack has no echoe, and nobody knows why!

    11. Each King on playing cards represent a King in real history:
    Spades: King David.
    Clubs: Alexander The Great.
    Hearts: Charlemagne.
    Diamonds: Julius Cesar.

    12. It is impossible to sneeze with your eye’s open.

    13. Multiplying 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

    14. Starfish have no brains.

    15. A statue in a park with a soldier on a horse with it’s 2 feet in the air means the soldier died in combat. If the horse has only 1 foot in the air, the soldier died of injuries from combat. If the horse has all 4 feet on the ground, the soldier died of natural causes.

    16. Mosquitoes have teeth :D.

    17. The inventor of electric bulb Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark.

    18. The word "cemetery" comes from the Greek koimetirion which means dormitory.

    19. In ancient England, people could not have sex without consent from the King.
    When people wanted to have a child, they had to solicit a permission to the monarchy, in turn they would supply a plaque to hang on their door when they had sexual relations.
    The plaque read..."Fornication Under Consent of the King" (F.U.C.K.).
    This is the origin of the word.

    20. When the English settlers landed in Australia, they noticed a strange animal that jumped extremely high and far. They asked the aboriginal people using body language and signs trying to ask them about this animal. They responded with ’’Kan Ghu Ru’’ the english then adopted the word kangaroo. What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was
    ‘’we don’t understand you’’, ‘’ Kan Ghu Ru’’.

    21. It is impossible to suck your elbow.

    22. During historic civil wars, when troops returned without any casualties, a writing was put up so all can see which read "0 Killed". From here we get the expression "O.K." which means all is good.

    23. 80% of the people who read this will try to suck their elbow :D.

    Wow.. i knew about 2 of those facts, but since i read the last bit, i've decided i won't be part of those 80%... i seem to remember a similar one about not being able to lick your elbow, but maybe it was just worded wrong ^-^. It was also nice to learn where some of the abbreviations came from.

    Near the end a pig releases a type of waxy fluid too to try and plug all that stuff in the female because theres so much of it.

    I saw it on a program in the UK involving celebs and farms animals, no it wasn't a porno :) just another crazy reality tv thing.

    Heres one: Did you know that the suggestion that hair and fingernails can carry on growing after your dead is a myth, what actually happens is dehydration pulls back the fullness in the skin after death and gives the impression that the nails are still growing.

    Did you know that Mortgage translated from latin means death pledge.
