Things That You Didn't Know You Didn't Know

1. It is impossible to lick your elbow! (I tried this after reading this bit of useless trivia...and it is indeed true. At least for me. I cannot lick my elbow. Why you would want to is another issue...)

2. A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.

3. A shrimp's heart is in its head. (Soooooo.... I guess the whole "Think with your heart, not with your head" doesn't apply to a shrimp?)

4. In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one has reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand. (I don't even want to think about how many of my tax dollars went to fund this study.)

5. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

6. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

7. More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a phone call.

8. Horses can't vomit. (Good to know....lol)

9. "The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language. (It's got to be one of the hardest to type too!)

10. If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck or even die. And, if you keep your eyes open by force, they can pop out.

11. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months two rats could have over a million descendants.

12. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ears by 700 times.
