    Post some meaningless or pub-worthy facts here. We know we all crave for the mental comfort of knowing stupid things:

    A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes long.

    Cat piss glows under a black light.

    Starfish have no brains.

    An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

    Guinness Book Of Records holds the record for being the book most stolen from Public Libraries.

    A woman invented the dishwasher (Oh, irony :p )

    If coloring weren't added to Coca-Cola, it would be green (Eurgh!)

    "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt". (Prove me wrong!)

    You ingest 72* spiders in a year in your sleep.


    *or some other random number.


    Factories that make snacks like Chocolate bars and Crisps have a yearly allowance of insect parts that are allowed to be found in their products, because it would be impossible to remove every single insect part that could contaminate the food.

    You can lead a cow upstairs but not back down.

    Humans are closer relations to chimps than orangutans are.

    50% of human genes are also present in bananas or something like that.

    There once was this hairy Chinese kid...

    If an atom was the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a fly sitting on the centre circle, all the rest is empty space.

    More Americans believe in Creationism than Evolution.

    Winston Churchill was a practicing Druid.

    Hitler only had one testicle (or so they say).

    Totaling up the total deaths in the Bible in which figures were given, God killed 2,038,344 people (excluding the great flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, plagues on Egypt etc where no figures were given), Satan killed 10.

    Should there be a crash, Prince Charles and Prince William never travel on the same airplane as a precaution! (Rats, they're onto me!!)

    Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. (It is annoying I guess!)

    Cathisophobia- Fear of sitting (How do you take a shít?)

    Phobophobia- Fear of fear (Yes, this is actually real. It just sounds funny!)

    Geliophobia- Fear of laughter (I know a couple of dry-arse **** that probably have this)

    Urgh... What kind of tragedy would befall someone that they would end up as a dog food taster? Pedigree Chum must look the same going down your throat as it does coming out of your ass.

    The amount of explosives that Tim McVeigh had in the truck that destroyed the Federal Murrah building in Oklahoma could never have been enough to cause such damage. This leads us into the fact that the CIA was involved.
