Post an obscure and pointless fact

Your foot is the same size as your forearm.

Are you just saying that so we'll all fall out of our chairs trying to verify this?

Venus' year consist of less than two Venus days.

Venus year: 224.65 Earth days
Venus day: 116.75 Earth days

Venus days in a Venus year: 224.65 / 116.75 = 1.92 Venus days
A Venus day is 2,802 hours long.

Make you you put in a full days work!!!

Two piece of clean metal can weld themselves together without heat. It's called Cold Welding and is prevalent in a vacuum. It's an issue that NASA has to pay close attention to when they use metals in space.

It's also used in Nano-technology.

Chevy Chase was originally offered the role of Forrest Gump.
Dave Chappelle was offered the role of Bubba.

Dave Chappelle was offered the role of Bubba.

I would have hated to see Chevy Chase as Forrest Gump. I can't see Dave Chappelle as Bubba, either. Bubba was portrayed as someone of similar intellect to Forrest and Dave just has too much going on behind his eyes to convince us other wise.

Elvis was one of the first solo artists to have consecutive sell-outs @Madison Square Garden.
June '72....originally was to be only 3 concerts...but they sold out so fast a Sunday show was added.
RCA recorded the Saturday Afternoon and Evening Concerts.
The Evening show was released..."as recorded at Madison Square Garden"...went Gold and reached #11 on billboard...I think its his best live album.
The Afternoon show would surface on CD years later..."an afternoon in the garden"...it recently was certified Gold and is one of the best CDs released.

Just because your bleeding and your hearts been destroyed (no piece larger than half an inch remains) you can continue to live a few minutes.

I "reviewed" a case where a female convenience store clerk was robbed. Unexpectedly a Cop pulls up for a break. The Suspect believed the clerk was responsible. He puts a .45 slug into her heart; shattering it.

She proceeded to grab a pencil and pad to write her only daughter a final letter .

Lesson.....Don't ever give up in a fight until your victorious.

From the medical library:

A not too bright man was a window peeper. He peeped in the wrong window, and a woman shot him directly between the eyes w/ a .357 magnum. He ran away down the street. Officers followed his blood trail and found him. Still alive. Took him to hospital for treatment. He lived. The shot lobotomized him.

This gent was quite odd to begin w/ and those that knew him said they really couldn't tell the difference before and after.

True story as told by medical professional.
