Some Facts

An average human drinks about 16,000 gallons of water in a lifetime.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men!

In the last 4000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.

Elephants are the only animals that can’t jump.

By age sixty, most people have lost half of their taste buds.

Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have only 206 in our bodies.

The electric chair was invented by a dentist.

Finally,

Do you wonder why the internet is slow some times?
There are approximately 1,319,872,109 people on the Internet.

Re: Some Facts

I love these, thanks AB. I wonder how many pints of guinness I've drank over my life and would you blame me with all them blinkin' women about. How appropriate for a dentist to invent an electric chair, is it any wonder people are scared stiff when they have to visit him. I'm sure God got it right, what use is a jumpin' elephant anyway.
