1.) A shrimp's heart is in its head.
At least they don't think with their penises.
2.) The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the
toughest tongue twister in the English language.
I'd have to get drunk to accomplish that one!

8.) 23% of all photocopier faults world-wide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their butts.

Place your tongue on the blotter.
11.) If you sneeze too hard you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force they can pop out.
12.) In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand.
Must have been happy, honest ostrich with "nothing to hide". (Couldn't resist.)

But some can fly ~ remember that.

Poor guys.
17.) Butterflies taste with their feet.

Ya gotta' be friggin' kidding! How's that even possible?

I believe that, too, after having been there in '08.
22.) Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.

24.) Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.

How many of you out there already tried it???
28.) The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.
