  • Did You Know?

    • Mosquitoes mate in about 10 seconds; pigs' orgasm can last 30 minutes. (Who wants to be a pig in their next life?)
    • A pilot and a co-pilot of a passenger plane have to choose different meals from the in-flight menu so that they do not get food poisoning at the same time. (One worry down, 9233828434 more to go!)
    • Minimum age of criminal responsibility in most states in the US is 7. (What are you gonna put them in juvie for at 7? For throwing their veggies at you?)
    • Pears rot faster than apples, they also sink while apples float. ( I must find out the scientific explanation for this)
    • Bulls are red-green color-blind, and it’s not the color of the cape that angers the bull in the bullfighting, but rather the movement of the fabric. (I guess it's true when they say "it's not what you have, it's how you use it...")
    • Shredded books are used in capacity of sound absorber to make roads. A mile of motorway consumes about 50,000 books. In construction of British M6 Toll Road 2 500 000 old Mills and Boon novels were used. (Interesting!)

      

    • In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her cheating adulterous husband but she may only do so with her bare hands. The husband’s lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.(Can we have the same law in the US?) 
    • The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is capitation. (Wonder how they enforce that one?)
    • In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (Haha...you can always count on Mama to help you rise to the occasion)
    • Horses can't vomit and pigs can't look up in the sky (So what do pigs look at when they're having their 30 min orgasms? haha)
    • If a native Hawaiian woman places the flower on her right ear, she is available. The bigger the flower, the more desperate. (Should be helpful to all you (single men) traveling to Hawaii!)
    • A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.(Creepy!)
    • The male praying mantis cannot copulate (mate) while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Ouch! If this is normal for them, I wonder what their idea of rough sex is haha)
