here are some funny """""facts""""" I found whilst browsing the internet, hope you enjoy them.
NOTE: The comments in parenthesis are not mine.
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body
to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home...... maybe at work.)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")
A mantis breeder has assured me that you preying mantis can copulate with the male's head still attached, even several times.
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. For a human, that would be equivalent to jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes...lucky pig... can you imagine??)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm........won't go there.)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing....)
A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out.)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)

I'm sure there was more to debunk in that post, but those are the easy ones.
Second, using such a glaring hyperbole to attack wikipedia's credibility is an amusingly juvenile form of debate.
I'm sorry, I don't mind debate, but put a bit of thought into it ^_^
This thread keeps getting more and more racy.. so much for Lance's innocent fun facts post. You guys are going to scare Lance away from posting new threads if you keep thread crapping all of em. Lol.
Internet buddies for the win!
I really don't mind whatever you guys want to say about my posts as long as it's what you think rather than just "hey look, lance posted a thread, lets trash it!"
I get a kick out of what you guys say, though I must say that every time someone "debunks" my posts it makes me feel like I've somehow failed. Which, I think, I kinda have. I don't usually think through everything before I post about it. I didn't even read all the "facts" before posting but I thought they'd be good.
Anywho, it's a pleasure being a part of this community.
cheers.
DranoK made Lance's puppy look sad now. Mean old forum admins. The puppy will no longer be cute, but will be sad instead. :( :(
We're glad to have you around, one way or another.
