What Has Four Legs and Ticks?

Postby Iroquois » Wed Nov 12, 2003 10:35 pm

I found this on amusingfacts.com.
During World War II, Russians used dogs strapped with explosives to blow up German tanks. They trained the dogs to associate the tanks with food and ended up destroying about 25 German tanks using this method.


Share your amusing and pointless facts here.

if you screamed for about 11 years you'd produce enough sound energy to heat a cup of coffee (i know some people who talk so much they could do it in a few minutes)

According to psychologists, the shoe and the foot are the most common sources of sexual fetishism in Western society.

During the female orgasm, endorphines are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.

During World War II, condoms were used to cover rifle barrels from being damaged by salt water as the soldiers swam to shore.

Impotence is grounds for divorce in 26 U.S. states.

Sex burns about 70-120 calories for a 130 pound woman, and 77 to 155 calories for a 170 pound man every hour.

There are approximately 100 million acts of sexual intercourse each day.

It is not possible to tickle yourself. The cerebellum, a part of the brain, warns the rest of the brain that you are about to tickle yourself. Since your brain knows this, it ignores the resulting sensation.

Once a human reaches the age of 35, he/she will start losing approximately 7,000 brain cells a day. The cells will never be replaced.  ( i know some people at my age of 17 that are like this )

In a lifetime, an average man will shave 20,000 times.

On average redheads have 90,000 hairs. People with black hair have about 110,000 hairs.

The longest human beard on record is 17.5 feet, held by Hans N. Langseth who was born in Norway in 1846.

1 out of 350,000 Americans get electrocuted in their life.

Approximately 55% of movies released are Rated R.

Gloucestershire airport in England used to blast Tina Turner songs on its runways to scare birds away.

According to the Guinues book of world records, you can kill a person with a pencil in 1,500 different ways.

Every year, the moon is moving away from planet Earth every few inches. As that happens, the Earth's rotation axis will tilt causing more unpredictable climate changes. From here on, you don't wanna know. Too bad I know too much. Especially natural disasters.

One puff from a cigarette will take away 15 seconds of you life. Multiply that by how many times you puff in your lifetime.

The fastest man to ever run a mile did it in 3 minutes and against the wind. However, I think he died of a heart attack.

If you drop a penny from the top of the Empire State building, anyone who is hit by the penny on the ground will either have serious injuries or die.

I think exploading dogs are a lot more interesting.
Actually this was a joke on a Canadian comedy show. CSIS was trying to train animals to wage war in Afghanistan.

On that reckoning I've already been dead for 10 years. ::)

if a person from berlin is a berliner, is a person from frankfurt a frankferter?

Yes  - only it's spelled Frankfurter. :P

if you screamed for about 11 years you'd produce enough sound energy to heat a cup of coffee (i know some people who talk so much they could do it in a few minutes)

I think anyone who knows me will tell you that this applies to me. Saves me plenty on electricity bills. LOL ;D
