Strange Facts.
Please post strange facts that you know. Try to amaze us.
I'll begin.
Did you know that chickens normally live 25 years laying ~25 eggs in their lifetime, but intense egg production of chicken pump out roughly 25 eggs a year thereby curbing the lifespan of a chicken to approximately one year.

Re: Strange Facts.
It is believed that somewhere between 90,000 and 200,000 people are experiencing and orgasm at any one minute on the Earth.

They say that the most secure computer is the one not connected to the internet.
That's why security experts recommend Telstra BigPond.

It's more like 7-10 years for a "normal" life span.
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

I don't know much about chickens 
But it might be possible that the species type matters in this case. Ill look for the website again and post it.

The ancient Romans used a condiment that consisted primarily of ground up anchovies allowed to sit out in the sun and 'ripen' for a few days. There were a few spices added.

A swashbuckler is not a person who buckles swash, but, in fact, one who swashes a buckler.

That's because most women can't orgasm in 2 minutes.

Romans used to use lead as a flavoring in their food because it is sweet. That is the same reason why children often eat paint chips from lead paint.
