I love these weird fact things. Great idea to reply to them to Scott.  :good:

More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes. – I’m now scared of donkeys

A snail can sleep for 3 years. – Not in my house

If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. – I can do it before lunch most Sunday mornings.

On average, people fear spiders more than they do death. – Stupid, If only you could defeat death with your foot or a rolled up newspaper.

The strongest muscle in the body is the TONGUE. – Oh Yeah!!

It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. – Won’t stop me trying

Starfish haven't got brains. – That explains Patrick

There are more chickens than people in the world. – That is strangely reassuring

The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.  - I can go in the blink of an eye myself.

The electric chair was invented by a dentist. - A better place to be most of the time!

The strongest muscle in the body is the TONGUE. - That'll make the women stop blinking so much.

Two-thirds of the world's eggplant is grown in New Jersey. - Good for them!


Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur. - Tiger Woods likes skin, not just one skin.

The only place you can tickle yourself is the roof of your mouth.

Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere in the world a duck is watching you.

The total weight of all the ants on earth is about the same as the weight of all the humans on earth.

The smallest human penis ever recorded was roughly 1cm long.

More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes. Of course. Donkeys don't fly worth a damn.

A snail can sleep for 3 years. That's only before the snail has kids.

The strongest muscle in the body is the TONGUE.  And also the sharpest.

Polar bears are left-handed. So, they live at the North Pole, but they're south paws?

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. Not true. The Cleveland Cavaliers can't jump, either.

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple. Or "bulb."

You can't hum while holding you nose closed.

If you touch your tongue while yawning it can stop the yawn.
