Trivia

Post: #1
 
Trivia is something everyone usually finds interesting and may know some interesting one'salready or have books containing some or just grab a couple from the numorous web-sites filled with them.

I started with a couple and if you have some to add, great!,but let's snot get too carried away.

They can be useful, useless, odd, dumb, humorous but best of all educational.

1. There are 336 dimples in a regulation golf ball.

2. Boogers or mucous or "snot," as it's called by most people is produced by the mucous membranes in the nose, which it moistens and protects. Your nose makes nearly a cupful of snot every day. :?

Here are a few interesting ones that. I liked em but they kinda bugged me[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]
    » A bee has five eyes, two large compound eyes on either side of its head, and three ocelli (primitive eyes) on top of its head to detect light intensity.
    » A bumble bee flaps its wings 160 beats per second.
    » A cockroach's heart is nothing but a simple tube with valves. The tube can pump blood backwards and forwards in the insect. The heart can even stop moving, apparently without harming the roach.
    » A colony of white-footed ants varies in size from 400,000 to over 1 million individuals.
    » A common housefly is faster--in one sense--than a jet airplane. The fly moves 300 times its body length in one second, while the jet, at the speed of sound, travels 100 times its body length in one second.
    » A cricket an inch long has a chirp that is audible for nearly a mile.
    » The Asian grasshopper can jump up to 15 feet, a distance the length of 18 of their 10-inch bodies.
    » The average airspeed of the common housefly is 4.5 miles per hour. A housefly beats its wings about 20,000 times per minute.

Hold you noses while you read this!!:shock:


Ever pull someone's finger and hear a weird noise come out of his or her jopa?

Ever sit in a tub of water and see bubbles come out of your hiney?

This strange noise and vibrating sensation that came from yourjopa is most likely caused by a pook.

Apook is a combination of gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) that travels from a person's stomach to their jopichka. When a person swallows too much air or eats foods that the human digestive system cannot digest easily gas becomes trapped in his/her stomach. The only way for this excess gas to exit the body is through the jopichka.

The gas that makes yourpooks stink is the hydrogen sulfide gas. This gas contains sulfur which causes pooks to have a smelly odor. The more sulfur rich your diet, the more your pooks will stink. Some foods that cause really smellypooks include: beans, cabbage, cheese, soda, and eggs.

A scientific name for apook is flatus or flatulence.

The wordpook is just one of many different terms used to describe the release of gasses from the human body. Other popular names for pooks orpooking include: gassers, stinkers, air biscuits, bombers, barking spiders, rotten eggs, and wet ones. You can pass gas, break wind, blast, beef, poof, rip one, let one fly, step on a duck, and cut the cheese.

pooks can be stinky, wet, loud, or silent but deadly. Pee-eeew!!!
Did you know?
  • On the average, a healthy personpooks 16 times a day. *woot*
  • Hey guys, don't be fooled by girls who tell you that they never pook. Everyone pooks, including girls. In fact, femalespook just as much as males.
  • Many animalspook too. Cats, dogs, and cows. Elephants fart the most.
  • People pook the most in their sleep.
  • pooksthat contain a large amount of methane & hydrogen can be flammable.


Pm me if you are not sure what "pook," means, or send a self addressed stamped envelope....Or better yet...just pull the finger of the nearest personTongue(or Elephant)

Cows produce so much gas that it affects pollution in a very noticable manner. Cows are given baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in order to reduce the amount of gas they produce.

The female name Vanessa is Greek for "butterfly.

In Australian slang, to be “spliced” means to be married.
