Little known Facts Game - The Orange Mane

bronclvr · 02-06-2009, 09:47 AM

Try this - sort of a game, more of a fun challenge. I'm a fan of weird trivia. Post something that most probably don't know-examples:

-Hell and Paradise both exist in Michigan and are 343 miles apart.

-The heaviest human brain ever recorded weighed 5 lb. 1.1 oz. (2.3 kg.).

-It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.

-The human eye blinks an average of 4,200,000 times a year.

-A snail can sleep for 3 years.

-A rhinoceros horn is made of compacted hair.

-A dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours.

-Rats are incapable of puking.

-Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

-The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was originally entitled Headcheese, but was changed at the last minute.

-Botanically speaking, the banana is a herb and the tomato is a fruit.

Anybody wanna play?

The human head weighs 8 pounds...(so says some creepy little spikey haired kid)

It takes about 3500 cows to supply the NFL with leather for a year of footballs.

The French have a doughnut called a 'Nun's Fart'.

It's illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while you're sitting on a curb in St. Louis

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

"Stewardesses" is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand.

There are two credit cards for every person in the United States.

Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time television were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

Coca-Cola was originally green.

Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.

It is possible to lead a cow upstairs but not downstairs.

Long-haul truckers are generally unpredictable and dangerous.

The word "Checkmate" comes from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat," which means "the king is dead".

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, and purple.

If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? One thousand.

Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten.

Most long haul truckers incorrectly believe the word "Peterbilt" refers to a bionic penis.
