RMDrive's Totally Random Useless Pieces of Information
RMDrive Wed Apr 08, 2009 1:32 pm
I've never logged on to facebook so I have only a second hand understanding of what it is, but I heard an interesting fact today.
There are over 150 million facebook users. If they all lived in the same country, it would be the 8th most populated on the planet! Bigger than Japan, Russia and Nigeria!

More people are killed by coconuts falling on their heads than shark attacks and more people are killed by cows than coconuts every year.

The Pweor Of The Hmuan Mnid.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy,
it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are,
the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.
The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm.
Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
A snail can sleep for 3 years.
The average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime at night.
Although Corcodiles and Alligators are fast on land, if you run in a zig zag they will never catch you.
All of the clocks in Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20
A dogs sense of smell is one of the keenest in nature. If a pot of stew was cooking on a stove, a human would smell the stew, while the dog could smell the beef, carrots, peas, potatoes, spices, and all the other individual ingredients in the stew. In fact, if you unfolded and laid out the delicate membranes from inside a dogs nose, the membranes would be larger than the dog itself.
Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. I keep my toothbrush in the living room now.
In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "Goodnight, sleep tight".

Ya, first of all no need to be so serious okay and the Bermuda triangle is fact. People who've entered it have disappeared and never returned unless you think you're smarter than all those scientists who've been working for years trying to solve the mystery.
