Its a Fact of Life....Some Facts are in Fact Useless

So I as apposed to filling your head with my somewhat repetitive life, I thought I would do something useful. For those times when your talking to someone who seems to a book of useless facts coughduffycough you can now fight back with your own useless facts

1.13 seconds: the longest time a chicken has ever taken flight for under its own power.

2. Right handed people live an average 9 years longer than left handed people

3. Over 2,500 left handed people are killed a year using objects designed for right handed people.

4. Chickens can't swallow while they are upside down.

5. More people have lived on earth than have died

6. The word "and" appears 46,277 times in the Bible

7.Weight for weight, bone is five times stronger than steel

8. Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. Copper is a brown-red colour. Thus scientific evidence that blonds are dumb

9. If a statue in a park is of a person on a horse that has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one leg in the air, the person died from wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground the person died of natural causes.

10.The very first bomb dropped on Berlin during WWII killed the only elephant in the Berlin zoo.
