Did you know that all mammals tend to empty their bladders in about 21 seconds, no matter how big or small?

Did you know that you can use math to figure out how a Morrocan emperor managed to father 888 children?

Did you know that researchers let bees sting them in 25 different places on their bodies in order to identify where it hurt most? (hint: the most sensitive were, the nose, upper lip and penis shaft.)

  1. one of the best Hollywood Squares questions, posted to George Gobel…….”Can a pea last a thousand years?”…..his response….
    “Sometimes if feels that way”……LMAO!

  2. My theory is that, over time, gravity pulls down the hair follicles that used to grow out of the top of your scalp, and they start growing out of your ears and nose instead, but I lack the funding to do further research.

  3. A guy walks up and starts using the urinal next to Chris Christy. He casually looks over and says, “You’re a pretty big guy, when was the last time you saw it?” Chris responds, “It’s been a while.” The other guy says, “Maybe you should diet.” and Chris replies, “Dye it? What color is it?”

  4. One of the Ig Nobel winners determined that the term “huh?” is universal across all languages.

    Given how many leftist there are everywhere, I bet one could make a study that “doh!” is universal too.
