And their skins and bones are denser than humans.. *shudder* (Chimpanzees, that is)

A South Korean movie theater owner decided that the movie The Sound of Music was too long. His solution? He shortened the movie by cutting out all of the musical scenes!

Before the invention of anesthesia, speed was a highly regarded trait in a surgeon. Dr. Robert Liston of London was among the fastest. But, speed comes with some cost. In one particular operation, Liston killed three people. The patient actually survived, but later died of gangrene. During the operation, Liston accidentally cut of the fingers of his surgical assistant, who soon died from an infection. Liston even managed to slash through the coattails of a colleague who was observing the operation - he was so sure that his vital organs had been punctured that he died of fright!

Nitric oxide pills can help with longer lasting erections.

Chimpanzees and gorillas are afraid of water because they are mostly muscle and no fat, so they do not float very well.

So if you're running from a chimp (people keep the bastards as pets), run for the ocean!!!

The temperature can be determined by counting the number of cricket chirps in fourteen seconds and adding 40.

This I was aware of....

We use nitropaste in various areas of medicine - most commonly for myocardial infarcts.

In surgery we use it to vasodilate tissues that are in jeopardy.

In a free flap surgery, I have used leeches to promote blood flow from tissue. It is not the blood-sucking activity of leeches that promotes venous flow....rather leeches secrete a substance called Hirudin which acts as an anticoagulant (blood thinner).

No. They're evil. But did you know chimps' skulls are similar to human skulls, so a gunshot to the head would probably kill the beast?

I use it for working out.

Did you know other than chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas, dolphins can recognize themselves in mirrors too? Amazing.

btw, this is a great thread idea. I just wish I knew more useless info.

Not real facts.

If all you had to live on was celery, you'd die of starvation. It takes more energy to eat and digest celery than it contains.

I thought this was BS. But, I checked it out and it's true. I just went on a diet and everyone at the restaurant saves the celery hearts for me when they make chicken wings. I've lost 10 lbs. in 2 weeks.

More hot dogs are sold at O'Hare Airport (per year) than anywhere else.
