Heh.But did you know: Rubber bands last longer when but in the fridge? There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar? Cats have 32 muscles in each ear? Winston Churchhill was born in a women's restroom at a dance? Peanuts are an ingredient in dynamite? There are more chickens than people in the world? 2/3 of the worlds egg plants are grown in New Jersey, USA? A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes? All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20? On a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament building is an American flag. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur. In most advertisements, the time displayed on a watch is 10:10. A dragonfly has a life span of 24 hours. A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak. The giant squid has the largest eyes in the world. Mr. Rogers is an ordained minister. The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.

The methane gas produced by 10 cows, if captured, would provide heating for a small house for a year. The average human needs 18,250 gallons of water to keep going in an 80- year lifetime? That's enough to fill 2 1/2 tanker trucks! The heart of a blue whale is the size of a small car? The Bible, the world's best selling book, is also the world's most shoplifted book? Termites eat wood twice as fast when listening to heavy metal music? The days between October 4 and October 15, 1582 did not "exist," they were skipped, due to a decree from Pope Gregory XIII, who changed the official calendar from the Julian model to the Gregorian. The brain is surrounded by a membrane laced with nerves that transmit sensations to the organ. However, the brain itself has no feeling; if it is cut into, the person feels no pain. A crocodile's digestive juices are so strong that it can digest a steel nail. |

Couldnt tell you, I just got that stuff in an email, there are others its just that their stupid.However this one I find intersting: Its impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. I dont think its true. You could tape your eye lids up. When I suggested this to a couple of freinds, they said your eyes would pop out. I think that is also not true, only freaky people on Jerry Springer can do that. Just put tape across your eyes to keep them in! "If tape cant fix it, it aint broken" |

A blue whales heart beat is louder than a submarine's total noise. It is also the loudest animal sound, it can be heard from over 2 miles away and was often mistaked for an enemy sub. The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing. The longest one-syllable word in the English language is "screeched." "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt". All 50 states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill. Almonds are a member of the peach family. Maine is the only state whose name is just one syllable. There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous":tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. Los Angeles' full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer. The characters Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life." A dime has 118 ridges around the edge. The giant squid has the largest eyes in the world. The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. |

about that sneezing thing: if you sneeze, there's a chance you eyes will pop out. if you try to stop sneezing, you can blow a vein in your brain and die. so you're all screwed! i decided to just stop sneezing ;) |

I heard if you are about to sneeze you say "scat cat" over and over agian and it will go away. I tried it once and it seemed to work. |

Oh, and one more little personal thing, the only song Ive ever been able to crank my stereo all the way to without overloading the system is "Whip it" by Devo. VERY strange. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Yeah... I always thought that song was pretty weak as well. |

Scat cat. |

The only way I can overload the system is to crank the bass and volume all the way. And it depends on the song. The more complex the song, the less the system is able to process it. It cuts off at a certain level to keep from blowing out the speakers and burning itself up. As you could imagine, Aphex has to be EQed very precisely to be able to be played at max volume because there are alot of sounds. I did manage to overload it with that song but only after running it through 3 different EQs and 3 volume levels. |

Yeah... certainly more than I needed to know. Nothing to do with taxidermy. But interesting none the less. |
