The Most Useless Facts That You Will Ever Hear From Me Part Two

1. In the Arctic, the sun sometimes appears to be square (something I really want to see).

2. Non-dairy creamer is flammable (no one allow me near this stuff).

3. Camels have three eyelids (the top two have eyelashes that protect the eye from sand, and the third one acts as a transparent windshield wiper by opening and closing from the sides of the eye rather than the top and is easy for the camel to look through when closed).

4. The average person laughs 10 times a day (I must not be average then).

5. A healthy (non-colorblind) human eye can distinguish between 500 shades of grey (I guess 50 Shades of Gray got the title wrong).

6. A syzygy occurs when three astronomical bodies line up (it's usually the cause of mystical doomsdays).

7. Shakespeare invented the words "assassination" and "bump" (thank you Shakespeare for without you I dunno what I would plot about).

8. Your heart beats over 100,000 times a day (my must be broken or something).

9. The Beetham Tower has 47 floors (if you were wondering, it's a famous tower in Manchester, England).

10. A duck's quack doesn't echo (and no one knows why...).

11. Elwood Edwards did the voice for the AOL sound files (a.k.a. "You've got Mail!").

12. Americans are responsible for about 1/5 of the world's garbage annually (and that's why people want Americans to recycle more).

13. Lizards can self-amputate their tails for protection. It grows back after a few months (if you didn't know this one, shame on you for not appreciating lizards).

14. The most frequently named bugs from the bible are locust (24), moths (11), grasshoppers (10), scorpions (10), caterpillars (9), and bees (4) (who reads the Bible and is like, wow, I wonder how many bug references were made).

15. Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing (weird to think about).

16. In Utah, it is illegal to swear in front of a dead person (why is this even a law?).

17. It's estimated that at any one time around 0.7% of the world's population is drunk (great...).

18. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different (so theoretically, if a tongue print was left on the scene of a crime, you could track the criminal by checking the prints of different tongues).

19. Everyday, more money is printed for Monopoly sets than for the U.S. Treasury (I'm soooo glad that we don't use Monopoly money as currency).

21. Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair (Hehe, I have lots of zinc and copper).

22. The average talker sprays about 300 microscopic saliva droplets per minute (or about 2.5 droplets per word that I don't really want to think about).

23. The Earth experiences 50,000 earthquakes per year and is hit by lightning 100 times per second (and I'm glad none of those lightning strikes have touched me).

24. If we had the same mortality rate now as in 1900, more than half the people in the world would not be alive today (so humans must have been dropping like).

25. On average, Americans eat about 18 acres of pizza everyday (that's just disgusting).
