1. A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.. Who has checked out every species of fish???

2. A gold fish has the memory span of three seconds.  This has been proved wrong.. I watched it on a documentary then again on Myth Busters...

3. The average person eats 8 spiders in their life time while sleeping.   Yuck how do they work this out???

4. If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death.  Who was the cruel person who did this??? And I bet they did it more then once to prove it to others.

5. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.  I watch a DVD before I fall asleep so why the hell am I not losing any weight??? 

Eskimos use refrigerators to keep food from freezing.

The electric chair was invented by a dentist.

Ear wax is actually sweat and some people have more then others because of where there ancestors way be from.

Turtles can breathe through their bums!!!!

Did you know that there is more bacteria in your mouth alone than the combained population of Canada and the USA .. That's pretty sick if you ask me.. I kiss my husband with this mouth LOL.. I was watching Access TV (channel 13 for us Calgarians) and they always have did you know sometimes after shows are finished and I saw it and was grossed out sooo bad LOL!!

When its windy for a few days straight i become very irritable and moody so does my husband, just wondering if the wind effects other people?

Interesting but humorous at the same time

The guy that invented the flushing toilet name was Thomas Crapper.

 Here are some facts from JIve weekly in High River (foothills edition)

• A group of Kangaroos is caleld a mob.
• Reindeers like bananas.
• When first created, it was a mistake that Ivory bar soap floated.  They had been over ,oxong the soap formula causing excess air bubbles that made it float.
• If NASA sent birds into space they would soon die, they need gravity to swallow. ( I feel sorry for the first bird in space, how else would they know this fact)

I guess I will start with a tiny fact I think is interesting :

The elephant is the only animal that can not jump. If you dig a small trench around an elephant it can not jump the ditch to get away.

  Something I read once ...
