Could it be big news

Today I was going to do something on the US Presidential elections but, frankly, bored myself before I got to the second paragraph.
Then I thought about perhaps doing more on the economy but we are all drowning in a media frenzy of gloom on that subject.
So I was left ruminating on what to BLOG….
Did You Know …
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced
enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(I would have expired from lack of caffeine by this time.)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps round the body to
squirt blood 30 feet.
(As I have low blood pressure would mine not go so far?)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to
death.
(I know some people like that.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(I know some people like that too.)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know – I hate feet.)
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed
people.
(If you’re ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(and that’s a good thing……………….)
An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know even more people like that.)
And in case you are wondering, no, I am not a complete idiot – some bits are missing!
