    Things you don't need to know
    1. Every year, parks in London alone are doused in one million
    gallons of dog
    urine.
    2. The germs present in human faeces can pass through up to ten
    layers of toilet
    paper.
    3. The best recorded distance for projectile vomiting is 27 feet.
    4. Contrary to popular belief, if you swallow chewing gum it does
    not stay in
    the gut. Usually it will pass-through the system and is excreted
    without
    incident. However, several cases have been reported where the gum
    has stuck in
    the rectum, causing the unfortunate sufferer to excrete long sticky
    trails of
    gum, like a pink spider's web.
    5. Several well-documented instances have been reported of extremely
    obese
    people flushing aircraft toilets whilst still sitting on them. The
    vacuum action
    of these toilets sucked the rectum inside out.
    6. It is possible
    to cough your guts up.
    7. If your body's natural defenses failed, the bacteria in your gut
    would
    consume you within 48 hours, literally eating you from the inside
    out.
    8. What is one of the most difficult items for sewage works to
    handle, as it is
    insoluble, yet fine enough to pass through most filtration systems?
    (Every month
    Thames Water removes over a ton of this substance from its water >
    treatment
    plants, whereupon it is taken away to a landfill site and buried)
    You guessed it
    - pubic hair.
    9. Parasites count for 0.01% of your body weight.
    10. Henry II was murdered by his homosexual lover, who pushed a
    red-hot poker
    0.5 metres up his rectum.
    11. The longest recorded tapeworm found in the human body was 33
    *metres* in
    length.
    12. A woman who had recently visited South America, where she had
    safaried in
    local rainforest, began to experience severe pains in her left ear,
    accompanied
    by headaches, dizziness and constant rustling sounds, at first put
    down to
    tinnitis. It became so serious that exploratory surgery was
    required, which
    revealed that a spider which had become trapped in her ear.
    Eventually it had
    eaten through her eardrum and was living within the aural cavity.
    The rustling
    sounds were from the spider crawling around inside her skull. An egg
    sac was
    also removed...
    13. Enjoy your lunch!!!
