DID YOU KNOW

Book Abstract by: TPA    

Original Author: sci
DID YOU KNOW The muscles in your heart have the strength to shoot your blood 10 meters in the air?   Elephants are the
only animals that cannot jump   The body’s strongest muscle is our tongue   A pig’s orgasm lasts 30 mins!!   Statistically, people are more afraid of spiders than they are of dying   All polar bears are left handed   Crocodiles cannot stick out their tongue   Butterflies taste with their feet   A cockroach can live 9 days without it’s head.  It only dies because it cannot eat.   Humans and Dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure   A duck’s quack has no echoe, and nobody knows why   Each King on playing cards represent a King in real history:
Spades: King David. Clubs: Alexander The Great. Hearts: Charlemagne Diamonds: Julius Cesar.   It is impossible to sneeze with your eye’s open   Multiplying  111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321   Starfish have no brains   A statue in a park with a soldier on a horse with it’s 2 feet in the air means the soldier died in combat. If the horse has only 1 foot in the air,  the soldier died of injuries from combat. If the horse has all 4 feet on the ground, the soldier died of natural causes.   Mosquitoes have teeth   Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark   The word "cemetery" comes from the Greek  koimetirion which means dormitory   In ancient England, people could not have sex without consent from the King. When people wanted to have a child, they had to solicit a permission to the monarchy, in turn they would supply a plaque to hang on their door when they had sexual relations. The plaque read … "Fornication Under Consent of the King" (F.U.C.K.).  This is the origin of the word.   When the English settlers landed in Australia, they noticed a strange animal that jumped extremely high and far.  They asked the aboriginal people using body language and signs trying to ask them about this animal.  They responded with  ’’Kan Ghu Ru’’  the english then adopted the word kangaroo.  What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was ‘’we don’t understand you’’,   ‘’ Kan Ghu Ru’’.     It is impossible to  suck your elbow.   During historic civil wars, when troops returned without any casualties, a writing was put up so all can see which read  "0 Killed".  From here we get the expression "O.K." which means all is good.   80% of the people who read this  will try to suck their elbow.          כתוב את תקצירך כאן.
