Weird Facts Return

Every so often, I post a list of weird/odd/strange facts (and add my personal commentary to those facts). Hey, I admit that I am a huge nerd with an unusual amount of spare time on my hands (given my activity schedule). So, here goes:

Scientists believe that a meat-eating plant lives underground with no direct sunlight. (This just in - scientists believe that the moon is made of green cheese)

Monkeys fling feces at each other when agitated. (Which is where we get the phrase "throwing a shit fit")

Yawns are a way of communication. They don't signal that you are tired, but rather you want to do something different now. (Like reading another blog)

Killer whales capture fish by slapping them. (Funny, that's how I keep people away from me)

A shrimp's heart is in its head. (Republicans' heads are in their butts)

A ducks quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. (LIAR! Mythbusters busted this!!!!)

A cockroach can live for several weeks without its head. (So can Republicans)

Elephants can't jump. (Did anyone ever think they could, c'mon)

The oldest piece of chewing gum is 9000 years old. (Eve had to have something after the apple)

More Monopoly money is printed in a year, than real money printed throughout the world. (And real money is spent just like monopoly money - nothing backing it and we can just print more later or steal it from the bank)

The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. (Sadly though, he no longer could reproduce after that discovery)

Walt Disney was afraid of mice. (and Jews)

Ted Turner owns 5 percent of New Mexico. (Half of which went to Jane Fonda in the divorce)

Polar bears are left-handed. (The scientist who found this out is dead, and was related to the inventor of the microwave)

Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. (Because we eat pennies)

Mark Twain didn't graduate from elementary school. (Neither did George Bush, what's your point?)

A donkey will sink in quicksand but a mule won't. (Who is experimenting with animals in this way?)

No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven (7) times. (Go ahead and do it, the blog will be here when you get back)

Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. (Unless you crash near quicksand, then you will be fine)
