    Male bats have the highest rate of homosexuality of any mammal.

    The word “gymnasium” comes from the Greek word gymnazein which means “to exercise naked.”

    After eating too much, your hearing is less sharp.

    The colder the room you sleep in, the better the chances are that you'll have a bad dream.

    Should there be a crash, Prince Charles and Prince William never travel on the same airplane as a precaution!

    There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos!

    There is one slot machine in Las Vegas for every eight inhabitants!

    A car uses 1.6 ounces of gas idling for one minute. Half an ounce is used to start the average automobile!

    I hope bugs are part of that category too or else it'd be such a gross big number.
    I think I'm at 3 so far. The realization that you just ate a bug is always so vivid.

    Re: did you know..

    my friend gave me these before...she gave me a lot but i find these quite interesting:

    Atilla the Hun died of a nosebleed, and William the Conqueror died of an infected injury he got when his horse tripped over a pig. Holy Roman Emperor Frederck Barbarossa led a crusade to the holy land, only to die when he got there because he tried cross a river with his armor on.

    On average, twelve newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily.

    The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law, which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

    In Chinese, the KFC slogan "finger lickin' good" comes out as "eat your fingers off".

    Adolf Hitler's mother seriously considered having an abortion but was talked out of it by her doctor

    The most common name in the world is Mohammed.

    Yo-Yos were once used as weapons in the Philippines .

    The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910.

    Re: did you know..

    Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
    Turtles can breathe through their butts.
    Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.
    American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating 1 olive from each salad served in first-class.
    The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache.
    Every time you sneeze some of your brain cells die.
    It cost 7 million dollars to build the Titanic and 200 million to make a film about it.

    yeah, quite a bit of random, yet interesting facts!

    oh yeah, when you sneeze, people say "bless you" because your heart stops beating for a millisecond or something...and it's impossible to have your eyes opened when you sneeze
