Licking a stump burns 10 calories.
I bet cutting down the tree burns even more than that.

Okay, serious time.

Most of you probably know this, but every time you drink a beer, you're really having a nice tall glass of bacteria poo.

The swedish language have no cases (anymore), but still uses the 500 year old genitive case for nouns when they are combined with another.
example:
Gata = Street, Kök = Kitchen
^ = Gatukök.

I bet no Swede knew about this hihi.

Bit political but. . .

There are 650 Members of Parliament, who sit in the House of Commons. There are only 427 physical seats in the House of Commons. This has never been a problem. Lazy bastards.

Along time a ago an island was used by pilots to land during the war, the pilots often brought food to the people in the island. When the war was over and the pilots stop coming back, the people of the island start treating the planes like some kind of god.

schrodinger's cat is both dead and alive at the same time, thus creating a paradox.

The mask used for Michael Myers in the original Halloween was actually a Captain Kirk mask painted white.

GLaDOS: Do you know that thought experiment with the cat in the box with the poison? Theory requires the cat be both alive and dead until observed... Well, I actually performed the experiment. Dozens of times. The bad news is that reality doesn't exist. The good news is we have a new cat graveyard.

You know how to measure your blood pressure (arterial pressure by Riva-Rocci) and what it means?

<spoiler=if not click here>First you'll need a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. You put the cuff on the upper arm, just above the elbow and inflate until you can't feel a pulse at the wrist anymore plus 10 or so more. Then you put on the stethoscope, put it on the crook of the arm and slowly release the cuff's pressure.

The first time you hear a rush is the systolic pressure, that's your heart's current maximum blood pressure output. For a normal and healthy adult it is supposed to be at around 120-140 mmHg.
Continue to release pressure from the cuff until the noises stop. This is your diastolic blood pressure which is your heart's current normal pressure. A normal value would be around 60-80 mmHg, depending on age and health.

Now you have go have fun with that knowledge.
I could also talk about special cases of CPR if someone is interested.

The song 'Stayin Alive' by the Bee Gees has almost the exact same number of beats per minute that a human heart has and so medical professional use it to help trainees when giving CPR.

The Queen song 'Another One Bites The Dust' also uses the same number of beats per minute but it's not used due to the unsuitable connotations of the song.
I wonder if that was just a test of how many people would actually bother checking. If you listen to the original versions of Stayin' Alive and Another One Bites The Dust, you'll find that they are not at the same number of beats per minute. The latter is demonstrably faster.

So, that's another myth busted, please abstain from mentioning it in such a thread again.
Actually I just listened to them both, and they are the same...
Myth un-busted.

also apparently 10 people a year are killed by vending machines :O

What happens when an irresistable force meets an immovable object? Well the only force that is ever irresistable is the gravity in a black hole. The rather strange laws of general relativity allow the immovable object to consider itself stationary as it falls in.

Jeebus, you just don't give one solitary fuck about moderator wrath, do you?

Our cells are composed of other cells! Humans have organelles in their cells called 'Mitochondria', which were once independent prokaryotic cells that evolved to form a symbiotic relationship with our current day eukaryotic cells!

Titin is the abbreviated longest name of anything. It's the name of the protein that does the passive elasticity of muscles in humans. It's full name has over 180,000 letters and is too long to list in this forum response box.
