A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

(In my next life, I want to be a 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.

(Don't 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 the male's head off.

I just have to ask Jem....how do you know these things? =)

Ever had a wine bottle that took you under 30 minutes to uncork?

[Dee Sa]

how do they know this re the pig ?

[boxtops]

more to the point, how does ttfn know it....?

[ttfn]

Because ttfn bought a book - 'Would you believe it - Usless information you can't afford to be without' many, many moons ago. I now know so much trivia I ought to socialise more and impress folk. But as I don't get invited anywhere, AB will be my (un)willing victim ☺

[boxtops]

as my ex-OH once said to me, "do you know the price of parrots is going up...?"

[moonraker558]

There you go useing my name again.

[Jemisa]

I haven't been present when the pig has its orgasm but someone must have. Evidently it was reported in 'The Farmers Weekly'
The other things are quite common facts told on 'Blue Peter'
