    Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the anus forms before any other opening. Which basically means at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

    The quietest place on earth, an anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in Minnesota, is so quiet that the longest anybody has been able to bear it is 45 minutes. Inside the room it's silent. So silent that the background noise measured is actually negative decibels, -9.4

    Pollen is plant sperm. Therefore, hay fever is an STD. Also, since no one wants to breathe in pollen, we're all technically being raped by trees on a daily basis.

    In the early 20th Centaury, street gangs in Australia were known as Pushes. One of the gangs was called The Crutchy Push and consisted of mostly handicapped members and, at one time, half the members only had one leg. They would often get into fights by balancing on one leg and using their crutch as a glorified club.

    Why do we yawn?

    You yawn when you’re---------------Because
    tired----------------------------------------- your brain is slowing down, causing its temperature to drop

    bored---------------------------------------your brain isn’t feeling stimulated and starts to slow down causing a temperature drop

    seeing someone else yawn----------when you’re in the same environment as them, you’re exposed to the same temperature

    PS: Yawning because of lack of oxygen has apparently been debunked

    It is believed that between 2030-40 a mini ice age will occur. This has happened regularly every few hundred years and happens because the sun goes into a low activity period that fluctuates over a period of 10-12 years. During this time the winters will be especially cold and long we might even have really cold summers as well depending on when the cold period hits during the years.

    Last time this happened the winter was so cold that the ocean between Sweden and Denmark froze so that thousands of troops could walk across the ocean from Sweden to invade Denmark. The Danish didn't see that one coming did they.
