Fun Facts #2
Permalink Closed
  1. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.
  2. If you keep your eyes open by force when you sneeze, you might pop an eyeball out.
  3. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over a million descendants.
  4. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.
  5. In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.
  6. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
  7. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.
  8. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.
  9. 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their butts.
  10. In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders.
  11. Most lipstick contains fish scales.
  12. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.
  13. Over 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow.
  14. A crocodile can't move its tongue and cannot chew. Its digestive juices are so strong that it can digest a steel nail.
  15. Money notes are not made from paper, they are made mostly from a special blend of cotton and linen. In 1932, when a shortage of cash occurred in Tenino, Washington, USA, notes were made out of wood for a brief period.
  16. The Grammy Awards were introduced to counter the threat of rock music. In the late 1950s, a group of record executives were alarmed by the explosive success of rock ‘n roll, considering it a threat to "quality" music.
  17. Tea is said to have been discovered in 2737 BC by a Chinese emperor when some tea leaves accidentally blew into a pot of boiling water. The tea bag was introduced in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan of New York.
  18. Over the last 150 years the average height of people in industrialised nations has increased 10 cm (about 4 inches). In the 19th century, American men were the tallest in the world, averaging 1,71m (5'6"). Today, the average height for American men is 1,75m (5'7"), compared to 1,77 (5'8") for Swedes, and 1,78 (5'8.5") for the Dutch. The tallest nation in the world is the Watusis of Burundi.
  19. In 1955 the richest woman in the world was Mrs Hetty Green Wilks, who left an estate of $95 million in a will that was found in a tin box with four pieces of soap. Queen Elizabeth of Britain and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands count under the 10 wealthiest women in the world.
  20. Joseph Niepce developed the world's first photographic image in 1827. Thomas Edison and W K L Dickson introduced the film camera in 1894. But the first projection of an image on a screen was made by a German priest. In 1646, Athanasius Kircher used a candle or oil lamp to project hand-painted images onto a white screen.

 The force when we sneeze is very very high, that much amount of force can pop our eyeball out very easily. That one is very true according to medical facts. Also a woopecker close and open their eye simultaneously when they are drilling a hole in the tree. Without doing it, the amount of force can pop the eyeball of the woodpecker. I think it is the same as sneezing.

 You can never do that!! Hahaha, it is a metabolism of the body, even if you want to you cannot force yourself to open your eye when you sneeze. It is a reaction of the body that we can't control!

Now this fact is creepy "In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders." Along with the first one about sneezing. That is really scary.
"Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different." I think this is pretty cool because we all have our unique tongue print that no one has! These are interesting facts Nhop-anon! :D

 They squeeze their nose so there won't be a sound! At least that is what i think. hahahaaa It makes you sneeze silently and not really sneeze. Have you ever tried it? It feels so weird.

The duck Quack is like taking the breathe inside the Duck. Similar to you inhaling with strength which makes a sound. I am not sure but that's my idea.
