    Amazing (But True) Facts!

    1) The Pacific Ocean is so big, its unbelievable.

    2) Every year 6 people are killed trying to put their socks on going down stairs, but 27 people a year make it safely to the bottom.

    3) Earthworms, contrary to popular belief, are not stupid creatures; whilst under constant scientific study, individual Earthworms have been known to breed selectively with the healthiest individuals, store food, and even question why Israel is allowed an entry in the Eurovision Song Contest.

    4) Per square meter, there are more Slugs on the moon than there are in New York City.

    5) If you piled all the CDs in the world, one on top of the other, the resulting pile would be massive.

    6) Humans share 98.5% of their DNA with a chimp and almost 50% with a banana, but if a chimp eats a banana, the whole does not become the sum of its parts, and said chimp can still be outsmarted with ease.

    7) Hedgehogs are neither hedges nor hogs, but are in fact 'hedgehogs'.

    8) A spider cannot get trapped on its own web, as its been there, seen it, done it, brought the t-shirt.

    9) There are so many ants in the average nest, that if you sat there and tried to count them all, they'd swarm all over you, and get in your hair.

    10) 92% of all thick people watch Trisha; the remaining 8% forget its on and smoke Silk Cut until its on again.

    11) All Termite mounds contain a chill-out room.

    12) Light travels so fast, you couldn't beat it in a race from the top of the stairs to the bottom, even if you got to slide down a rolled-up carpet in just your socks, so you went really fast.
