Friday and Saturday have been pretty dull days for me blog statistics wise. I guess the visits are inversely proportional (is that the right term / concept?) to the amount of smut or potentially smut-related posts that I do. I noticed my pot on Montana Fishburne trended pretty well there for a while.
Nope, this does not mean that more smut is on the way. Although, a disproportionate number of visitors are arriving here searching for a naked Luna Maya or Cut Tari, and hoping to find a full-frontal nude shot of BCL.
This post is just a random collection of factoids, trivia, and odd spots. David if you're out there and reading this, do your thing and shoot these things down in flames as impossibilities...I know you want to, and I know that you know that I want you to try!
So, here we go:
1. The average speed of an avalanche is 35km an hour;
2. One brow wrinkle is the result of 200,000 frowns (so, if you are like me, then you went something like "bugger me, I must have frowned a whole frackin' lot during my short years on this earth");
3. Chocolate contains the same chemical that your brain produces when you fall in love - phenylethylamine;
4. A blue whale's heart beats at nine beats a minute;
5. Pandas spend about 12 hours of each day eating bamboo;
6. Someone who has an irrational fear of meat is carnophobic;
7. A snail can sleep for three years;
8. The valves of a human heart are as thick as a single piece of tissue paper; and
9. A claque is a group of people who are hired to applaud an act or a performer.
Enjoy!

Trivia -- Interesting Facts...
It has been a while since I posted some interesting, or not, piece of trivia. Generally, these tid bits are only every going to be useful in games like trivial pursuit or Jeopardy or maybe Who Wants to be a Millionaire. But, they are fun.
Did you know any of the following:
1. That each year insects eat one third of the world's food crop;
2. That human thighbones are as strong as concrete;
3. That apples, not caffeine are better at waking you up in the morning;
4. That the evidence of a bloodhound is admissible in an American court of law;
5. That a raisin in a glass of champagne will float to the top and then sink to the bottom over and over again;
6. That the average human body contains enough iron to make a 7.62cm nail;
7. That bulletproof vests, fire escapes, laser printers, and windscreen wipers were all invented by women;
8. That the first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, and was used by Egyptians as early as 2000 BC;
and,
9. That the human brain generates more electrical impulses in a day than all of the world's telephones combined.
Enjoy!
