Year of the Pig

I am at home ...
Sick
In bed
Chicken soup and a laptop is what today is all about

Time to catch up on tons of e-mail
Sometimes amid the piles of rubbish is an occasional gem
Here's one that kept me laughing till my fever dropped ...
It lists some totally useless and inane facts -
But then again , totally amusing

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

(Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

I know what my strongest muscle is)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(OK, so that would be a good thing, but why would they want to anyway?)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
