I had this sort of thread every year and I think it's fun to do it again this year.

So, did you know...


- A cough releases an explosive charge of air that moves at speeds of up to 100kph

- Bulletproof vests, fire escapes, laser printers and windshield wipers were all invented by women

- Apples, not caffine are more efficient at waking you up in the morning

- About 10% of the world's population is left-handed

- The average human body contains enough iron to make a 7.62 cm nail

- If you put raisin in a glass of champagne, it will keep floating to the top and then sinking to the bottom

- Most people fear public speaking more than death

- You can hear the tick of a watch from 6 metres in very quiet conditions

- Most lipsticks contain fish scales

Post your own "Did you know..." :)

Did you know that a sneeze is 1/8 of an orgasm?

Did you know that the Earth has only created elements up to Iron? Furthermore, Hawking in A Brief History of time said that more complex metals like silver and gold actually come from supernovae.

I believe it...I hate public speaking, never got over it. Hope I dont get any more English assessments in that fashion.
I just did mine. What is there to be scared of?

Well i guess there is a bit to be scared of, but is it more scary than death? i think not...

Biggest speech i had to do was at awards night :S But when i look back, it wsn't that bad :)

Death is definitely more scary...

you are the kind of stupid person who thinks taking a shit is like a tenth of an orgasm, arnt you? :rolleyes:
Well you can't just jump to conclusions about the size of the orgasm. The orgasm may vary, wouldn't it depend on the size of the shit?

I just stated a fact, while you had to go and take it one step further, or to far should i say. What kind of fucked up individual orgams over a shit? :rolleyes:
