View Full Version : Some Facts...
Team 17 25-05-2001, 05:35:PM This stuff has nothing to do with football or FIFA or anyhting that should be on this forum at all - so i expect it to be moved, but i'll carry on all the same :D
Did you know that more people on death row in America die of natural causes that leathal injection or the electric chair? This is bacause the average person on death row stays alive for i believe 17 years after being placed there.
Again in America, there were around 53,000 sports related injuries in people aged 65 and over, so I have a message to any silver surfers reading this - ALWAYS WEAR SHINGUARDS :D
But by far my favorite is this fact - in 1992 and once again in America there were nearly 2,000,000 who visited the ER after being injured by, of all thing, there clothing - be careful getting dressed my friends :D

iceboy: I don't play field soccer. I play soccer in basketball courts(5 aside) so I prefer helmets and knees gaurds(if you believe) :D

iceboy: Never buy clothes made from America or visit the hospital there, serious.

iceboy 25-05-2001, 10:49:PM Interesting facts... and their comments
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)
A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (In my next life I want to be a pig) (How'd they figure this out, and why?)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Still can't get over that pig thing) (Don't try this at home...maybe at work?)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?) (And pigs get 30-minute orgasms? Doesn't seem fair)
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do. (If you're ambidextrous do you split the difference?)
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of...?) (Did taxpayers pay for this research??)
Polar bears are left handed. (Who knew....? Who cares? How'd they find out, ask them?)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What can be so tasty on the bottom of the pond?)
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes...can you imagine?? And why pigs?)
A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death. (Creepy) (You've got to wonder about the sick sadist who found this out.)
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....) (Well, at least pigs get a break there...)
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. (Oh, geez) (That's almost as bad as catfish)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. (I know some people like that.)
Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that too.) (After reading all these, all I can say is.......Lucky Pigs.) :)

Poor male mantis,
He goes through life and then when he is about to do it for the first time he gets his head cut off for his efforts.
