Ere's some more:


Another thing you can't do:

Spin your right foot clockwise as you look down at it.
Then with you right hand trace an anticlockwise circle in the air.
Look at your foot, still going clockwise?


Shakespeare had an estimated vocabulary of well over 24,000 words (most people only have around 10,000).

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

On average people fear spiders more than they do death.

A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.

A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death.

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the males head off.

Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump.

A cat's urine glows under a blacklight.

Bone is seven times stronger than concrete per unit mass.

There is enough iron in a 70kg man's body to make over 40 staples.

The surface area of the gas exchange area of the lungs in a 70kg man would cover a tennis court.

There is enough phosphourous in your body to fire a small cannon.

Porcupines are known to masturbate.

Domesticated dogs are thought to have decended from a single pack of wolves in asia about 40,000 years ago.

In the old series of Batman they made Robin (Burt Ward) strap his manhood to his bum so that he didn't make Batman look inferior.

Giving the 'V's' to people originates back in the old Agincourt days, where archers would flaunt their two fingers before the battle commenced to show that they hadn't been captured before by the enemy and had their fingers cut off.

Aboriginies don't have a word in their vocabulary for "tomorrow" (which I think is beautiful).

0.7 % of the world's population is drunk at any one time.

Until 1960, women were not allowed in disneyland without an accompanying male.

If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33. She would stand seven feet, two inches tall.

Pigs can produce 5L of cum during a single orgasm (I am yet to verify this..).

The derivation of Arse actually comes from the Cockney rhyming slang for bottle, this being 'Aristotle', and slang for Bum - 'bottle of rum'. Bum became Aris and then Arse.

And a good one to finish...
If the all the people of China were to jump simultaneously then the shift in gravity would break the earth in two.
