OT: Random facts that really surprised me

[dtISU]

A few more...

* An average person's yearly fast food intake will include 12 pubic hairs. Yuck.
* About 3% of glacier ice in Antarctica is penguin urine. There would be polar bear poop if polar bears would swim down there. (or so I've been told).
* "***** fencing" is the scientific term for the mating ritual of the flat worm. It's also been used a few times over in the RTT thread.
* There is a species of spider called the Hobo Spider. Nope - don't want to know...
* You cannot snore and dream at the same time.
* A crocodile cannot stick out his tongue
* True story - in England, in the 1880's, "Pants" was considered a dirty word. **insert your own joke here**

More to come as I uncover them.

The censor didn't like the medical term for the male member.

Ha! Copied and pasted from an anagram creator website. Thought it was a bit comical, Hawk fan or not.
And Woodbury deserves all the love he gets over here, he was worthless.

How many of us who read this put their finger in their ear? I did.

Kinda like, "it's impossible to lick your elbow ".

I had a friend in high school that would tell girls that girls can't touch their hands together behind their backs . . . :twitcy:

• New York City is further south that Rome, Italy
• Not only is Reno, NV west of Los Angeles, but so are six state capitals
• If you walk south from Detroit, you actually walk into Canada
• A 'butt load' is an actual unit of measurement. It is the same as 126 gallons
• You can get a rough estimate of temperature by counting the number a cricket chirps in 15 seconds, then adding 37

No, you COULD walk into Canada, you'll ACTUALLY get shot first. Better odds of making it to Canada by walking north hundreds of miles.

It's the bolded part that makes it even more disturbing.

That reminds me in highschool my friends and I would tell the girls that if they imagine taking a salt shaker and sticking out there tongue. If you act out the motion of shaking the salt onto your tongue you can taste it.

I only eat fast food a couple times a year, so I must be getting a whole beaver full each meal.
