Someone posted this on another board and I had to share ... Some are definately strange. :nervous:
* A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.
* A snail can sleep for three years.
* Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.
* Butterflies taste with their feet.
* Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds. Dogs only have about 10.
* February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.
* If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of
reproduction.
* In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.
* Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.
* "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand, "lollipop" with your right.
* The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with.
* The words 'racecar' and 'kayak' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left.
* TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
* Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
* If you are an average American, in your whole life, you will spend an average of 6 months waiting at a red light.
* The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.
* Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two week otherwise it will digest itself.
* Did you know that crocodiles never outgrow the pool in which they live? That means that if you put a baby croc in an aquarium, it would be little for the rest of its life. (DO NOT DO THIS)
* The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.
* The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is "uncopyrightable"
* It's impossible to lick your elbow.
* More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.
* Rats and horses can't vomit.
* The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said
to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language...try it!
* Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.
* The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
* Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.
* A duck's quack doesn't echo anywhere, and no one knows why.
* In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders.
* Cat's urine glows under a black light.
* Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.
NOW DON'T YOU FEEL SMARTER?
