"The Resistance means it's time for new politics. The kind where, if the fellow smiling at you is planning to put a vibroblade in your back, instead of smiling in return, you shoot him."-Leia Solo "Really? Shoot him just once, or as often as I want?"--Han Solo "As long as your blaster's batteries hold out." --Leia --from The New Jedi Order series "Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream"
I know my blogs this week has been almost too serious. I won't name the person's name (G) that suggested that my site is sounding too Imperial. You have to switch sides from time to time. Han use to be in the Imperial Navy. Luke had a touch of the dark side. They all came home. I'm making good on the promise from my last post. I've come up with some stupid stuff.
Enjoy.
- The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.
- The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter in "uncopyrightable".
- Barbie's full name is Barbara milicent Roberts.
- It's impossible to lick your elbow. (go ahead try it right now and see)
- Rats and horses can't vomit.
- Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times. (now that's comforting. My job deals with headphones all the time!)
- In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.
- The cigarette lighter was invented befoer the match. (It's the whole egg or chicken first debate all over again.)
- A duck's quack doesn't echo anywhere, an no one knows why.
- If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (You see everyone is full of hot air)
- If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Yeah that's great, but your butt would be raw)
- The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30ft. (Don't break my heart my achy breaky heart...)
- A cockroach will live for nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Next Stephen King's title: The week of the Roach)
- Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories per hour. (Not recommended to do at home. I suggest try it 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. (I guess that why they are called praying manits. The guys pray their woman isn't in the mood.)
- The flea can jump 350 times its body lenght. It's like a human jumping the entire lenght of a football field.
- The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (Makes you wonder what's so tasty at the bottom of the pond.)
- The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Tonight's main event: Tongue Wrestling!!!)
- Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer the left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
- Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (Fly? Yes, but don't enter Dumbo in the long jump.)
- A cat's urine glows under a black light. (Man, I feel sorry for that research student.)
- Polar bears are left-handed.
Ihope this gives you a smile to start the weekend. Stay tuned for next's week blog: "Am I left or right-handed???? |
Just to clarify. When I said "Imperial" I was referring to the look - not the content.
But it was a great post...I had a good laugh.
