Tidbits of useless information

People always wonder why sometimes I am so "full of it". I am loaded with tidbits of useless information that I have used in Trivial Pursuit games, giving the history of an area around us, or just flowing with the weird and absurd.


Here is some to ponder:

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

Hardly seems worth it for a good cup.



If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

Now that's more like it!



The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps blood out to the body to squirt 30 feet.

O.M.G.!



A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

In my next life, I want to be a pig. I want to be Shirley the pig.



A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)

I'm still not over the pig.


Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

Do not try this at home......maybe at work.


The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping male's head off.

"Honey, I'm home. What the....?!"


The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

30 minutes...can you imagine??


The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?


Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity.


Butterflies taste with their feet.

Something I always wanted to know.


The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

Hmmmmmm......


Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.

If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?


Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

OK, so that would be a good thing....


A cat's urine glows under a black light.

I wonder who was paid to figure that out? But I do know that it works, it looks like something on CSI!


An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

I know some people like that.


Starfish have no brains.

I know some people like that too.


Polar bears are left-handed.

If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.


Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

What about that pig??


And with that, I'm outta here. See y'all tomorrow.

What about that pig??

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a golden-sand beach.

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L
