Big discoveries

Subject: Big Discoveries

If you had time on your hands, perhaps you may have been the scientist responsible for these amazing discoveries!

* 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.)

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

* 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.
(A new alternative to exercise? We think not. Don’t try this at home……but trying it at work may be helpful!)

* The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It’s like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(Olympic flea jumping champions, watch out!)

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

* 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.)
