Every time I read these, I have to smile.
If you read these already...so....smile again.

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.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig. 30 minutes... lucky pig... can you imagine??)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.
(Creepy.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Do not try this at home...... maybe at work.)

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....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length.
(It's like a human jumping the length of a football field!!!)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hmmmmmm........)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(OK, so that would be a good thing....)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)

Leave it to Pojo to uncover more of life's great mysteries.

Seems there ought to be plenty of "the other white meat" around for eons and eons. Of course, now that this revelation has hit the general population, there will be a special zoo sex segment on Jerry Springer (I'm sure there already has been)

Tell you what. You watch his interview first, then decide if you still want to be a pig in your next life.

It does add new meaning to piggy's remarks of " Wee, wee, wee all the way home!" We'll have to ask Crouton next time we see him.

Shannon...your remarks under each "discovery" were superb. You bring out the best in us!

Not sure I believe that about Lions. I've watched Wizard of Oz dozens of times, and all he has time for is crying.

I wonder if the topic about creating an atomic bomb through "flatulance" could be construed as a WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction). If so, I suspect that all our firepower had a lot of the Iraqi military creating "ingredients for WMD" every time a plane flew over.
