When a fly eats it thows up on it's food to break it down.

You use more muscles to frown than to smile.

When you laugh you burn 3 and one half calories.

I believe they typically cook them or atleast kill them. It just seems commonplaced if you think you eat them in your sleep. It doesn't hurt you. Good source of protein!

Yeah... even if you sleep with your mouth closed it always becomes open. A spider just crawls right in, crawls right down your throat and dissolves in the acid in your stomach

OMG!!! How creepy!!! I would hate that so much! I would rather have an ant crawl in my mouth (when I'm sleep) than some spider! For all I know the spider could be piosoness. I would hate to die in my sleep without knowing my death has occured. How freaky!

Well, I heard the average person swallows (on average) 2 spiders a year! So if you live a life of 80 years that's......160 spiders! Ew. I also have heard that there are thousands of tiny little dust spiders that you inhale every night....hmmm?

This story is laced with odd facts.


Thelma and Louise--The lost episode

I wrote parts of Thelma and Louise. You might not have heard of me because all of what I wrote was either not filmed or left on the cutting room floor. No two people can take a long car trip without quarelling like children at some juncture. Thelma and Louise didn't seem the type to outwit that pitfall. My assignment was to write the cranky sequence of their drive across the country.

Thelma is driving, (convertible) Louise is doing a cross word puzzle.
--Oh, this hair is driving me nuts! Louise, I saw a bag of rubberbands in the glove box. Hand me one, will you.
Louise reaches in, finds them and hands her one. Thelma struggles to drive and put it in her hair. It snaps her fingers when it breaks and she lets out a yelp. Louise looks up from her puzzle and asks what happened.
--Damned rubber band broke.
--cripes! I thought maybe you'd run over an armadilla, what with the way you screeched like that. Say, Thelma, do you know that "screeched" is the longest one-syllable word in the English language?
--No, and give me another rubber band.
--If you'd keep those things in the refrigerator they wouldn't be so likely to break. They hold up better when refrigerated, you know.
--No, I didn't know and they aren't my rubberbands anyway. We stole this car, remember?
--Well, if they were your rubberbands, would you have refrigerated them?
--This conversation reminds me, Louise. I dreamed last night that I kicked your sorry butt out of the car back at that God forsaken town we spent the night in.
--'Dreamt' last night.
--What?
--You meant to say, "dreamt".
--How the hell do you know what I meant to say?
--I used to think the word for what you meant to say was 'dreamed'. But I looked it up to be sure. Not only did I find out that the word is 'dreamt' but I also learned that 'dreamt' is the only English word that ends in "mt".
--Know what Louise? Your life span is fixin' to be that of a dragonfly. Which happens to be, little miss information, a measly 24 hours.
--Maybe you can help me with this one on the crossword. --Long pause--
--Well, Louise...what is it?
--Are you ready?
--Yes, I'm ready already!
--Name one word that rhymes with each of these words: 'month, orange, silver, and purple.
--That's a trick question.
--Cross word puzzles don't have trick questions.
--That one does cause nothing rhymes with any of those words. Everybody knows that, Louise.
--If you don't want to help, Thelma, just say so. You don't have to go tryin' to make me feel like a dummy.
--I'm tellin' you the truth.
--You are?
--I am. And you know what else, pout face? "I am" is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
--Thelma, how about letting me drive for a while, smartass.


With Louise at the wheel, she and Thelma pulled into a gas station and country store in Arkansas called, "Toby's". Under the "Toby's" sign was a sign flashing, "Eat More Chicken". Still cranky with each other they separated while shopping for snacks and then met at the store counter. Thelma spotted Louise's chocolate bar and said, "Got a hankerin' for insect legs?" Louise attempted to ignore the bewildering remark. Thelma informed her that some stupifyingly overpaid and bored researcher had guaranteed that the average chocolate bar has eight insects' legs in it. Louise, not wanting to be outdone, said to Thelma, "Yes, well, the average human eats eight spiders in their lifetime at night. I'm not average so I have to make up for what I might be missing out on by eating chocolate bars." This tidbit caused Thelma to divert her attention anywhere but to Louise. She noticed a calender on the wall behind the counter; not an up to date calender, but a calender of Marilyn Monroe. She said to the skinny middle-age man behind the counter, who was engrossed in a novel by Anne Tyler, "Are you Toby?"

After a moment Toby looked up and said, "Yes mam, I am."

Thelma, redirecting her surley mood now to Toby, launched into a lecture. "Toby, don't you think, as the proprietor of this not so fine establishment, where women and children surely must frequent, whatever frequent would be considered to be in this roadside dustball, that a picture calender of a naked Marilyn Monroe is inappropriate?"

Toby looked back, admiringly, at his Marilyn calender and then said to Thelma, "Mam, no one has complained as yet but if one should decide to do so, then they should complain to the owners of this 'roadside dustball'. I'm only the manager although that is my calender, and I'm quite fond of it. The owners, are a megalopolis with offices situated somewhere in New York, and are the same folks that own the abundance of chickens in Arkansas, that greatly outnumber the population of it's people, which is the case, incidently, about chickens versus people throughout the world; outnumbering us, that is."

Having no where to turn with her complaint, Thelma, somewhat messmerised by Marilyn's picture herself asked with sincere curiosity, "What is it about Marilyn that does it for so many?" Louise, in agreement for the first time in a while with Thelma, said, "Now, that is a good question."

"Depends on who you ask," Toby began. "You don't have to look hard to find much of your answer. Lovely child/woman smile. Nice figure in anyones opinion. Bigger than life personality. But for me, if you look real close, you'll see that she has six toes on one foot, and I find that endearing."

Thelma and Louise stood blinking in amazement with expressions that seemed to say, "Freakin' weirdo." (About Toby, not Marilyn). Toby, noticing their rapid blinks said as an aside, "Women blink nearly twice as frequently as men." Then without missing a beat he asked, "So where are you ladies coming from and going to?" In a moment of unusually quick thinking for Louise, she said, "I don't guess that would be any of your business now would it, Toby?"

"No mam, I suppose not but why don't you make something up- humor me?"

Thelma cut in with, "We're coming from California, headin' to New York."

"Shew!" That's a long trip. Why didn't you fly?"

Louise said, "I'm afraid of plane crashes so I don't fly. Thelma decided to come with me so we could share driving.

"Well, let me tell you ... Thelma, is it?"

"Yes, and she's Louise, though I don't know why I'm telling you that."

"All right then, Thelma, Louise, more people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes. And along the subject of air planes, 'stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only the left hand."

Thelma, a little taken aback by donkeys and stewardesses sprinkled over subsequent sentences, made an attempt to regain her competetive, smartaleck edge and said, "You nuke a lot of chickens in that microwave behind you, don't you Toby." Implying - incorrectly - that the micowave oven--which was invented by a researcher after he walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket--was a cause of brain damage.

"Yes mam, I have to in order to keep from getting overun by chickens; that and the fact that people like to eat chicken. Why do you ask?"

She's just being rude", Louise said, "because she got tired of being rude to me all day so now it's your turn to take the brunt--for no reaon at all."

"I understand ... being It's long trip from California and a long way yet to get to New York. My brother, after failing out of dental school, aquired a used furniture store. It's just down the road, it's called "Al Capone's Used Furniture Store". Why don't you stop in there, tell him Toby sent you and said that you two can pick out anything you like, and I'll pay for it."

"Toby," Thelma said, "You seem like a pretty fine fella' afterall but I got to say, dentists give me the creeps. They're just a wicked lot. It was a damned dentist, wouldn't you know, who invented the electric chair."

Toby said, "Yes Thelma, I, of course, would know , but my brother isn't a dentist and not wicked." Louise wondered and asked why the brother named his furniture store, "Al Capone's". Toby explained that Al Capone's business card stated that used furniture was his line of business. " My brother thought it might be nice to legitimize Al, in a roundabout way."

Cool story kittflynn.

Here's some more:

"Jesus wept" is the shortest sentence in the Bible.

The smallest butterfly is the size of a mosquito (see Max's post for the exact size of a mosquito :D )

The possum is the only animal with a forked penis.

Most parrots are as smart as 3 year old children.

The smallest mammal, the bumblebee bat, weighs less than a penny.

On the subject of stomachs: Goats, sheep, and other ruminant animals also have 4 stomachs. Humans and other one stomached animals are known as monogastric.

I am not sure if this is true or not, but I have heard it has supposedly been proven scientifically (or at least hypothesized) that men's eyes are better at seeing moving objects, whereas women's eyes are better at perceiving fine details. Supposedly an outcome of the hunter-gatherer days. I believe this explains Male Refrigerator Syndrome, in which a male can look at the fridge for ten minutes and not find the mustard but it only takes the woman 2 seconds to find it.

Fun facts from my Soc. of Sexuality class: Dolphins and Bonobo Chimps are the only animals besides humans that have sex for pleasure as well as procreation. Strange, researchers believe all that sex accounts for why the Bonobos are so dang peaceful. What does this mean for our Puritan society? Fun Link (http://www.blockbonobofoundation.org/)

Ravens and other members of the crow family are intrigued by fire. Throw an unextinguished cigarette butt on the ground and a raven just might pick it up in its beak and carry it off. Some ravens did just this, not necessarily with cigarette butts, but with any smoldering object, and carried them back to thatch roofed homes, which they were also known to frequent. The ravens' little burning gems managed to catch many a house on fire. Humans at this time weren't aware of ravens' pyromaniac tendencies, and just assumed there was something inherent about the raven that caused bad luck. Thus the bad wrap.

Here's some more that I found there useless but interesting
People generally say there are 365 days in a year. By a year, I mean this is the time period it takes the earth to travel around the sun: 365 days. Actually, however, it takes the Earth 365.25 days to make this trip. In other words, for every year we gain one-fourth of a day and every for years we gain an extra day. If nothing was done about this, our calendar would move backwards one full day every four years in relation to our seasons.

The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear. Any cup-shaped object placed over the ear produces the same effect.

The official soft drink of the state of Nebraska - Kool-Aid

It's rumored that sucking on a copper penny will cause a breathalyzer to read 0

Since there was a post for this guy here is a interesting fact about him John Hughes wrote the script for Wierd Science (1984) in two days. He wrote The Breakfast Club (1984) in three days, and National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) in four days

The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan, there was never a recorded Wendy before.
