15 FACTS (YOU WISH) YOU DIDN'T 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 physically possible to cough your guts up.

 

7. If your body's natural defences 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 land fill 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 been on

safari 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 tinnitus. It became so serious that exploratory surgery

was required, which revealed that a spider 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. A man in Australia was concerned about a growing lump on his nose, was

examining it in the mirror and saw a red back spider crawl out. Doctors

found an entire red back nest inside his nose.

 

14. An obese woman was admitted to a Queensland hospital with stomach

pains,

it turned out that her T.V. remote control was stuck in between rolls of

fat

and had eventually become an abscess.

 

15. Another woman in Queensland who had lost a lot of weight went to the

doctor with a big, hard, horn-like object protruding from her abdomen.

Closer examination determined that it was years of compacted belly-button

fluff.

 

Lovely!

I thought so...

 

Am going walking in London's parks tonight in fact to test fact 1 for myself. I will, of course, be wearing welly boots up to my armpits, rubber trousers and carrying a portable hose with built in water tank.

You'll be going to Kings Cross then lol

 

Don't take offence Ajay - none meant, it was the idea of the rubber gear

 

Tim

Ever been to Gothics?

 

Trust me, I have so much Raven and DarkElf clothing that rubber gear seems quite tame by comparison...

That came out wrong! But I would like to say that I am not a Goth! As those who have met me can testify.

Yea Baby, yea. Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Not a Goth, just likes stroking her multitude of pussies and dressing up in chainmail and armour and kickin' ass big time!!! LMAO

For those people who don't know, I have 4 cats and yes, I do mediaeval re-enactment. There is no other hobby that allows you to beat 7 months of good for the roses out of friends and acquaintances with 31" of tempered steel while dancing about on a field in a tin can
