Lions average arround 50 times a day for heaving sex (quantity over quality eh)

Pigs have an average of 30 mins on a single orgasm (harr i like this more quality > quantity)

Dolphins have a flexible penis and can move it in every direction they want (this would rock too)

So, why cant we all just be a mix out of lionphin-pigs ~.~

What if the woman is unable to achieve orgasm due to the headache? :p
(But then again... excuses? Just be honest if you don't feel like it *lol*)

Also, most of these "facts" pages are full of rumours, or stuff that was made up on the spot. Then other people repeat them and they become recognized as "true"... (For instance, the "rule of thumb" thing that tends to pop up very often on these. There's some debate on whether that's true or not.)
These things can be entertaining, but be wary of "facts" that are just listed with nothing to back them up! :p *gets off soapbox*

I had a guy in my philosophy class spend 30 minutes trying to convince everyone that black people have extra muscles in their legs... Not exactly a good way of making friends on your first day at the university.

I'm not sure how this is relevant... I guess it reminded me 'cause he started his argument with, "Did you know..."

Like Neijya said, this could be one of those "facts." How would anybody really know? A decapitated head screaming "OH MY GOD I AM STILL CONSCIOUS!" then stopping after 8 seconds? As far as I know no one has been decapitated and lived to talk about it. XD

That's true, but the act of sex before the orgasm raises your blood pressure which can worsen a headache. XD

Do you know why Dimes and Quarters have ridged edges and a nickle does not?

Back in the day, Dimes and Quarters were made from real silver, and nickles were made from, well, Nickle. Silver is a soft metal, and so people would shave off the edges of the coins before spending it, then they'd sell the silver shavings for more than the Dime/Quarter was originally worth! People were literally having their cake and eating it too, buy spending the money to purchase items, but still making money off the shavings. Not to mention, coins where being whittled away little by little until they were unusable.

The federal mint finally stepped in and added ridges to the coins to detect and hinder the practice. :)

This was proven during the late 1700s during the French Revolution from use of the guillotine. Upon decapitation the head would still blink and have changing facial expressions for a brief period of time until the nervous system had nothing to give back obviously.

Actually they did studies on this way back when decapitations were a common form of execution. When your head is cut off, you can't speak because of the whole having your throat cut in half thing, but you can still hear, and you can still blink voluntarily. Turns out, not only are people still conscious for a short period after decapitation, but it also doesn't hurt.

edit: damn you arte :p

Myth:
If you sneeze with your eyes open, your eyes will fly out from the force.

BUSTED

It was hard for Adam and Jamie to sneeze with their eyes open, but Adam eventually did the trick by forcing his eyelids open with his fingers. His eyes were fully intact. It would be impossible for your eyes to pop out because of the number of natural attachments that keep the eye inside the socket.
