Until now, I never noticed the writing was upside down. And I'm left handed.

Here's another useless fact: "Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing." That and "The Chinese ideogram for 'trouble' symbolizes 'two women living under one roof'." That's so true.

Sorry, Haley, I really should be more sympathetic to our less fortunate brethren. They should be allowed to continue along with their slow, ugly, feminine bliss. Who am I to judge?

Your heart will beat approximately 2.5 billion times in a normal life span.  Of course for us triathletes who spend way more time in zone 4, it'll be a few million more!

A hummingbird's heart beats 615 times per minute...how's that for an anaerobic workout?

Turtles can breathe through their butts...I guess that's better than talking through them...like saying RED bikes are faster than BLUE ones!

Popeye is 34 years old, 5' 6" tall, and weighs 158 pounds.

That and "The Chinese ideogram for 'trouble' symbolizes 'two women living under one roof'." That's so true. 

That's not true.  I mean, it's not how the Chinese character for "trouble" looks like.
