Did you know...?

[Doubleplus GC]

...that global temperatures are going to raise more in the next ten decades than they have in the last ten millenia due to global warming?

 

Wow.

[Doubleplus GC]

...that 90% of people with cerebral palsy are left-handed?

 

Makes you think.

[Alien426]

...that 85% of the population think statistics suck?

 

I made that up.

[Alien426]

...that if you would scream for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you'd have enough energy to heat up a cup of coffee?

 

...that if you would fart for 6 years and 9 months, you'd have enough gas for a nuclear bomb?

 

...that the orgasm of a pig lasts 30 minutes?

 

...that when hitting your head against the wall you spend 150 calories?

 

...that some lions mate up to 50 times a day?

 

...polar bears are left handed?

 

...humans and dolphins are the only beings that have sex for fun?

[Moon Roach]

...that Alien's statistics are bogus? Far more animals have sex for fun than just humans and dolphins, that is an arrogant outdated claim. First of all bonobos are the #1 lovers of sex even more than humans. In any case, scientists readily admit that there's no way to determine emotion in animals that can be compared to humans, so no one can really say at this point what an animal's idea of "fun" is or how that can be measured. Personifying an animal and then making it sound like science is ignorant.

 

...polar bears, like most animals, have varied handedness depending on the individual, but usually each has a preference for left or right.

 

...cockroaches can live for multiple days without a head?

[C Shutt]

I'd like to test that statistic.

[Alien426]

Well, I received a mail with those statistics that day and remembered this thread. Beat me for not testing out the duration of a pig's orgasm like you have.

[Moon Roach]

Suey!

[Moon Roach]

...cockroaches breathe through their sides, so when the beheaded roach finally dies it's only because he doesn't have a mouth to drink with?
