Numerals
crazy *loading* times over
Ahah!!!! I have found another lot of facts to diss. Except the source is .... uh.... kinda strange......... to say the least, really.
For those of you without the monthly cycle, the brand Libra will probably mean nothing to you, unless you read the horoscopes. For the rest of the nation, *nods embarrassedly*... we know all too well. Yes yes, ok not the best topic of coversation I must admit, but for anyone that doesn't shall we say, prefer Libra, heres a little update on their new marketing campaign.
Talk about product differentiation. The adhesive strips now have little "Odd Spots", useless facts for a normally useless strip of plastic. Despite the strange location of their little interest factor, and with morbid humour and interest I began to read some of them:
Odd Spot #66
The left lung is smaller than the right lung to make room for the heart
makes sense to me
Odd Spot #35
The human brain is about 85% water
ah, well that explains a few things....
Odd Spot #49
The modern flushing toilet was invented by Thomas Crapper
Hmm, i think this goes back to the naming thing.... How shit would that be? (excuse the pun) Not only does your invention become known by your last name, but the stuff you put in it eventually becomes an abbreviation of your name.... and then it transforms into a cursing word for something that looks like shit, and all you did was invent a way to get rid of it. Nice repayment huh?. Thats just crap.... I mean.... ah well
Odd Spot #54
Swans are the only birds with penises
Weeeeeellll then. Apart from being on the way-too-much-information channel, you have really got to wonder how the rest of the birds get on then..... I mean theres just no other way to do it, is there???? So can someone tell be how a duck gets fucked? Man this goes back to birds and bees stuff. But, if birds don't do it our way, how does that work? Awww man, this makes no sense. Little duckies don't just appear!!! Their nons and all but.... *shakes head confuseded* Fleur, your the expert on alien life... help me here...

The average human body contains enough potassium to fire a toy cannon
I would have to strongly disagree with this. Pure potassium metal is not present anywhere in the body (and thank god it isn't).... and for good reason. For those who don't do chemistry, lets do a lil experiment with potassium. If you put a cube of potassium metal about the size of a sugar cube into your mouth, your head would explode. And that burning feeling would certainly not be indigestion. I doubt you would ever digest anything ever again. If there truly was potassium metal in that much quantity, Spontaneous Human Combustion would certainly not be a phenomenon. Breathe in and you might die. Nice life.
Potassium is only present as a compound in the human body. And I prefer it to stay that way thank you.

The average person is about a quarter of an inch taller at night
Are you sure its not just because you can't see the measuring tape? That is utter shit. I very much doubt that a person comes back from a hard night clubbing and goes... oooo look, I've grown a quarter of an inch!!! Its not like a werewolf thing where the sun goes down and suddenly you're taller by a quarter of an inch. People watch the sunset and then grow a centimeter or two. I think what they meant to say was that when you wake up in the morning you are taller than when you go to bed. (assuming you don't lay down all day). Because standing or sitting all day compresses the cartilege between the discs in your spine, and when you go to bed, laying down lets them expand, so you become slightly taller when you wake of a morning.

In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand.
Well duh Freddy. And you know whats so sad? Its that they probably used thousands of tax-payers dollars to find that out. Their discovery: That things that happen in cartoons do not happen in real life. *gasped* NO FUCKING CLUE THESE PPL!!! My god, how stupid ARE these scientists? The next experiment: In a study of 300,000 coyotes over a period of 74 years, no one reported a single case where a coyote looked like an accordian after having an anvil or large boulder dropped on it.

In ancient Egypt, priests plucked every hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes
Squarms with pain. God damn. Now that is so wrong. Talk about an initiation test!!!! You'd be doing the ball rash walk for a week!!!! NASTY STUFF!!!
Odd Spot #128
Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 0.1 of a calorie
Whoa!!! Talk about promoting anorexia. I can see the headline now: ANOREXICS AROUND THE WORLD CONVULSE AT THOUGHT OF LICKING STAMP. Man, this shows the obssession we have with diets today, my god. This is pathetic.
