This is basically adding on to my Kermit is a Leftie post.
So I looked back on the website I linked to and I just wanted to post a couple more of the weirdly awesome facts here.
(I've only commented on some of them though... some of them don't need any explanation at all :-D )
1. Beard hair grows at twice its usual rate when you're in a plane.
2. Linda McCartney has sold more vegetarian ready made meals than Paul has sold records.
Time to step it up Paul.
3. The shortest war in history was between England and Zanzibar in 1896. Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.
4. 65 people become millionaires every day.
Can I be one? Please >-<
5. The average human will eat one pound of insects in their lifetime.
Well that's comforting...
6. You are more likely to be killed by a rogue champagne cork than a poisonous spider.
This is like the one where you are more likely to be killed by a falling coconut than by a shark.
7. By the time a person is 18, they would have spent 12,000 hours in school, but 14,000 hours watching television.
8. Humans share one third of their DNA with lettuce!
9. Charlie Chaplin once came third in a Charlie Chaplin look-a-like competition.
So..... okay. No comment.
10. Every 20 minutes a hapless person treads on a land mine.
More warning signs... maybe.
11. 6,000 new computer viruses are released every month.
And I haven't gotten one yet!
12. Elvis Presley had a twin brother.
Wait, is he a good singer. Is he still alive. Oh my gosh!!!
13. A Roman leap year had the same number of days as ordinary years but January 23rd lasted for 48 hours.
14. Right-handed people live on average, 9 years longer than left-handed people.
Yeah, I doubt it's cause of the dominant hand, just saying.
15. More boys than girls are born during the day, but more girls are born at night.
16. Johnny Vaughan was born at the precise moment that England scored the winning goal in the 1966 World Cup final.
WOOOOOOHHHHHHTTTTTT!
17. Elvis Presley's hip-wiggling started out as a srage fright. He was so nervous, that his legs would shake.
Well there's no need to ruin it... :)
18. John Lennon shoplifted in Holland the harmonica he used on Love Me Do.
JOHN. HOW COULD YOU. :-D
19. Pirates wore earrings because they believed it improved their eyesight.
Yeah, but you will always have that eyepatch, so tough luck.
20. Banging your head against a wall uses a 150 calories an hour.
Why would someone calculate this... just saying.
21. If you mouth the word "colourful" to someone, it looks like you are saying "I love you".
I'm so trying this!
22. The letter combination 'ough' can be pronounced in nine different ways.
How many of you are trying all the ways right now. No lying!
23. Every time you lick a stamp you consume one tenth of a calorie.
24. There is a city called Rome on every continent.
Wonder where the one in Europe is. Wait, does this include Antarctica?
Wow. That list was a lot longer than I was imagining it would be...
Hope you enjoyed!
Peace and truth from my heart to yours!

KERMIT IS A LEFTIE!!!
I just found out Kermit the Frog is left handed.
How did I learn this, you may ask.
Actually, I found it thanks to StumbleUpon (best website EVER. You can waste hours on there). Anyways, one site came up, like 25 random facts about humans. It included things like some Greek painter died from laughter after looking at one of his paintings (told ya it's possible) and how 2,500 left handed people die every year using right handed products incorrectly.
So, yeah. One of the last things on the list was that Kermit the Frog is left handed.
How would someone go about finding that out. I mean, did he actually write anything in any of the episodes he was in (I think it was Seseme Street, right. I suck at my children's TV shows...). And why would they make him left handed (no offence to any lefties out there!). Was it easier for the puppeter to make him write if he was left handed (assuming he wrote in any episode). (Wait, I just remembered it's from the Muppets... that was embarassing.... >-<).
More on my awesome finds later.
Peace and truth from my heart to yours!
