* More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.
…and half of the group who has used the telephone has, at one time or another, called my home to discuss credit cards I don’t own, warn me about the warranty on my 27-year old truck that is […]
* In average, a human being will have sex more than 3,000 times and spend two weeks kissing in their lifetime.
(My appologies for posting this a day late. I accidently clicked “save” instead of “Publish” on wordpress’s controll panel last ight. I am a nitwit.)
This would be yet another of those factoids that I’ve collected […]
* If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969, make it illegal for US citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles?
Having looked up that reference on Snopes, I should remove this post. Instead, I’m […]
* Rats and horses can’t vomit.
How is it that these people can say that so assuredly? Maybe that should read, “Nobody has ever SEEN a rat or a horse vomit” or better yet, “Nobody has ever bothered to REPORT seeing a rat or a horse vomit”. I know I could think of more noteworthy things […]
* Between 1937 and 1945 Heinz produced a version of Alphabetti Spaghetti especially for the German market that consisted solely of little pasta swastikas.
I can’t help but wonder how many American’s knew that at the time. Of course, it does dawn on me that the name Heinz is very German in origin, so maybe this […]
* It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
I don’t remember where this tidbit come to us from, but after thinking it over, I believe they should specify “four-legged” pigs. I’ve seen plenty of the two-legged ones who were perfectly capable of looking anywhere they chose. Granted, the sky wasn’t their […]
* A shrimp’s heart is in their head.
Yeah, I know. I’ve skipped a daily trivia post her and there lately. It has to do with the whole, “I’ve got to drive this kid to college and then get this one to and from high school” thing combined with the whole, “the wife needs me to […]
* In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand (or attempted to do so - apart from Bones ).
Well, DUH… That’s because when the ostrich has its head in the sand, you can’t see it!

* People say “Bless you” when you sneeze because when you sneeze, your heart stops for a mili-second.
Maybe it’s jusr me, but don’t consider it to be a big deal if my heart stops for a mili-second. This is partially because when I had my open-heart surgery, my heart was stopped for a couple […]
* A pregnant goldfish is called a twit
Erm.. I need to remember this one. It seems that for the last several years I’ve been repeatedly calling my daughter a pregnant goldfish.
