Wilbur was an amazing pig!!

This was sent to me by a friend. She wants to be a pig now!!

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.

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


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


Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour
(Don't 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 2 football field.


The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.


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.


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.
(Okay, so that would be a good thing)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.

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??)

About This Blog

This blog is so that I can share those little insites that all pirates should or may already know. Much of these tid bits of info come from the book "So You Wanna Be A Pirate? Here's How!" and the book"Amazing But... False", and e-mails I get from people.
Since I don't have to add pix to this blog I am very excited!! I HATE having to mess around with the pix stuff.

I just want to start by saying that all pirates know that X always marks the spot!!!!!!

The bagpipe did not originate in Scotland. Bagpipes were seen in Europe from 900-1500 A.D. They were also seen in ancient Egyptian art. They weren't even introduced to Scotland until the fifteenth century. There they stayed and became a national symbol.
