    Default I like interesting facts ^_^

    Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

    As of 2006, more than one in eight people in the United States show signs of addiction to the internet.

    The average bed is home to over 6 billion dust mites.

    The average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it.

    Just about 3 people are born every second, and about 1.3333 people die every second. The result is about a 2 and 2/3 net increase of people every second. Almost 10 people more live on this Earth now, than before you finished reading this.

    On an average work day, a typist's fingers travel 12.6 miles.

    Men can read smaller print than women; women can hear better.

    Your body is creating and killing 15 million red blood cells per second!

    Men are 6 times more likley to get hit by lightning than a woman (la la)
    I know there are sooo many more ^_^
    But please post any you know, I love reading things like this
    I love you

    I take offense to that since it implies that in general men are more stupid.

    I have one in my mouth right now. I do believe I can detect a hint of stag beetle.

    See, this is because men spend most of their time outside doing work, while women spend their time inside cooking, cleaning, and painting their nails.

    I can be offensive too!

    I would like everyone to please check your interesting "facts" against Snopes just because otherwise you're going to have smarmy upstarts proving you wrong many times over.

    Personally, most of my interesting facts come from my lengths of time spent at IMDB reading the trivia pages for movies. Why did I just admit that?

    From now on, when anybody calls me a pig, I will officially take it as a compliment.
