useless facts...

Here are a few Useless facts. Got any? Share them!!!
~Did you know that ducks don't have an echo?
~And the word 'fishes' is a real word. But you can only use it when you're refering to fish of a different species. Ex. goldfish and pirranahs and guppies would be fishes. But the 3 goldfish would be fish. kinda confusing... i hardly get it.
anyone got any other useless facts?

useless facts are fun..
- The average person will spend two weeks over their lifetime waiting for the traffic light to change.
- There's a condition called HCE: Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis and it's an extremley rare physical imbalance. It's a condition in which the circuts of the brain become overloaded by the body's own electricity. During intense mental concentration lots of current surges through the brain and, basically, your brain blows up. Don't worry, for it is a very rare condition and only five people have died from it in the last 25 years.
- One human brain generates more electrical impulses in a single day than all of the world’s telephones put together.
- A person who smokes one pack of cigarettes a day inhales a half cup of tar everyday.
that's all I could find at the moment lol

lmao! that pennies thing is funny.
That 'people being killed by vending machines' was really wierd. It almost happened to me when i was younger; i was at a variety store & they had a pop machine right outside the window of where i was sitting. an old lady had a seizure & crashed her car into the machine beside the one i was against, and the one by me ended up tipping over towards me. i would have been dead if there wasnt 3 feet of wall in the way. i'm so greatful that no one was seriously hurt.
