Interesting facts

I stole this from a website called dysan.net. Thank you dysan.net for this wisdom.

"INTERESTING FACTS

1. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

(Hardly seems worth it)



2. If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

(Now that's more like it)



3. A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.

(In my next life I want to be a pig)

(How'd they figure this out, and why?)



4. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

(Still can't get over that pig thing)

(Don't try this at home...maybe at work?)



5. Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)

(And pigs get 30-minute orgasms? Doesn't seem fair)



6. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

(Hmmmmmmmmm........)



7. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.

(If you're ambidextrous do you split the difference?)



8. The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.

(Did taxpayers pay for this research??)



9. Polar bears are left handed.

(Who knew....? Who cares? How'd they find out, did they ask them?)

(What can be so tasty on the bottom of the pond?)

It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

12. A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death.

(Creepy)



13. 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.

15. Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Oh, Geez) (That's almost as bad as catfish)

Laura Marling's lyrics understand me better than any living thing on this planet.

There's a word for people that fall in love with inanimate objects but what is it when the objects aren't even objects. They're just a combination of words from the english language arranged in such a way that it makes my heart melt travel through my veins and pour out my eyes.


"and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
and I can't do it again." New Romantic, Laura Marling


Maybe I'm getting too obsessed with it but everyone has to have one artist that they can't get out of their head. Everyone does it. At some point in their life.

I need to stop posting in the middle of the night.

"Now come on." says authoritative voice of reason in my head.
"It is far to early in the morning for you to still be awake. Go to bed this instant so that you can wake up in a few hours time and make something if yourself. And godammit stop listening to that incredibly amazing and heartbreaking folk singer who used to be in Noah and the Whale."

I know right!

"5 years time" sucks now.

NEW POST

I shall start with an issue that Neil brought to my attention today in the car.

MUMFORD AND SONS

No not a para-legal firm or bakery as the name suggests but a folk band to recently sprout out of London along with the likes of Noah and the whale, Laura Marling :),>

But on hearing this band for the first time a few months ago I was stricken with the resemblance between Mumford and Sons and Beirut, an American band with a most prominent eastern european and balkan folk flavour.

I have therefore come to the conclusion that Mumford and sons are a rip off of Beirut.

Even though they probably aren't.

MAS may never have even heard the amazing music of Beirut. But who knows. This is my blog. I can post whatever I want.

So yeah. This doesn't mean that MAS aren't a good band. I just feel that their style should be reserved for bands not originating from this country.

Because I actually have nothing against them. 'The Cave' and 'Winter Winds' are really good songs. But maybe the problem I'm really having here is that they're making this style of music that I love mainstream. *shudders*

I mean I heard them on radio 1. And radio 1 is awesome but I have never heard them playing Beirut (thank god) even though they are, like I said, being ripped off by MAS.

I guess i dont want this genre that i've just started to love to become popular and get ruined. :(
