Useless info.

I got this from another site.


DID YOU KNOW???

1. Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.

2. It is impossible to lick your elbow.

3. A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.

4. A shrimp's heart is in their head.

5. People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you sneeze, you're heart stops for a mili-second.

6. In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand (or attempted to do so).

7. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

8. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

9. Between 1937 and 1945 Heinz produced a version of Alphabetti Spaghetti especially for the German market that consisted solely of little pasta swastikas.

10. By law, every child in Belgium must take harmonica lessons at Primary school.

11. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.

12. More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.

13. Rats and horses can't vomit.

14. The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the
toughest tongue twister in the English language.

15. If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force, they will pop out.

16. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over 1 million descendants.

17. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

18. If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles?

19. In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.

20. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
21. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.

22. A duck's quack doesn't echo anywhere, and no one knows why.

23. 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their ass.

24. In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders

25. Most lipstick contains fish scales.

26. Cat's urine glows under a black light.

You know, the photocopiers at my office break down incessantly. This statistic kind of makes you wonder...

Other than that, some cool, though generally-speaking useless, information compiled here!!

Another one...

A french man tried to commit a complex suicide. He was out on his boat one day and tied a rope around his neck so when he jumped off the side of the boat he would hang himself, he tied a rock to his feet so it the rope to hang himself with broke, he would sink to the bottom of the sea, he drank poison, set his clothes on fire, and had a gun to shoot himself with when he jumped. He jumped off the side of the boat and went to shoot himself in the head, but he missed and broke the rope that was supposed to hang him. Then when he fell in the water, it extinguished the flames, and the shock of the water being so cold made him throw up all the poison. The coast gaurd hapened to be passing by, and they dove down to get him before he drowned, pulled him up, and took him to a local hospital where he live for 2 weeks before dying of hypothermia.
