Somewhere In The Ether…

Knowledge is power after all so please show your altruistic nature and share all your scientifically validated, factoid nuggets with your fellow human beings here.

I’ll get the ol’gonads a rolling so to speak with the following:

Scientific studies had demonstrated that the average Male becomes bored of shopping after approximately 26 minutes.

Ladies on the other hand can go on for two hours or more before finally succumbing.

(The moral here therefore; chaps - always have an excuse ready as to why you can’t see them on that particular day)

Your turn

When using toys to fuck myself I don’t enjoy actually tucking myself, I use them to rub my clit to make me cum (even better if I’m using my vibrator, wand is too powerful on my own)

I’m full of useful factoids like this

Did you know that diacetalcodeine or dihydroxymorphine are things you can be given in hospital, the fascinating thing is that they are the same thing and more commonly known as heroin

In history books, they teach the the English longbowmen won the battle of Crécy, but it was in fact, the welsh mercanaries. To be exact, it was longbowmen from the town of Llantrisant who helped secure the victory, and they were rewarded by being given the land surrounding Llantrisant.

Also the Black Prince was held captive at Llantrisant castle.

And final fact about Llantrisant, Llantrisant church is a pilgrimage site, due to having a stained glass depiction of Jesus that is only one of two of its kind. Jesus, withought a beard.

There is actually an official Guinness record for the longest distance that a man has been able to ejaculate;

Porn star, Horst Schultz achieved 18 ft 9 in with a 'substantial' amount of seminal fluid. He also holds the records for the greatest height (12 ft 4in) and the greatest speed of ejaculation, or muzzle velocity if you will - a staggering 42.7mph in fact(!!!!)

The origin is debatable, but a chainsaw-like tool was made around 1830 by the German orthopaedist, Bernhard Heine. He named it the Osteotome.

This was a small hand held tool with a rotating chain that was controlled via a hand turned cog like wheel.

It could cut through bone far quicker than a conventional saw apparently but it all sounds rather messy.....

More like The Fortean Times

Which leads me nicely onto my next, sadly somewhat less than delightful, in this case, fact:

The katzenklavier or so called, cat piano was an apparent musical instrument made out of cats(!) (I’m actually hoping that it was a joke as opposed to a literal instrument however as you will understand shortly.....)

It was designed by 17th-century German scholar Athanasius Kircher, and consisted of a row of caged cats, who could be ‘played by a keyboardist driving nails into their tails(!!!)

Have you got the balderdash game? Is that where you get all your random shit from?

More like The Fortean Times

Which leads me nicely onto my next, sadly somewhat less than delightful, in this case, fact:

The katzenklavier or so called, cat piano was an apparent musical instrument made out of cats(!) (I’m actually hoping that it was a joke as opposed to a literal instrument however as you will understand shortly.....)

It was designed by 17th-century German scholar Athanasius Kircher, and consisted of a row of caged cats, who could be ‘played by a keyboardist driving nails into their tails(!!!) "

Oh

I don’t like cats but that is very sad

The somewhat shocking world record for surviving being struck by lightning the most amount of times (did you see what I did there? Yes?) was held by a U.S. park ranger named Roy C. Sullivan.

In his lifetime he was officially reported to have been struck on no less than seven(!!!) different occasions between the years of 1942 and 1977.

"Did you know that chainsaws were originally invented to aid in childbirth?

.....I am presently crossing my legs tightly in discomfort.....and I’m not even a woman

How???????

The origin is debatable, but a chainsaw-like tool was made around 1830 by the German orthopaedist, Bernhard Heine. He named it the Osteotome.

This was a small hand held tool with a rotating chain that was controlled via a hand turned cog like wheel.

It could cut through bone far quicker than a conventional saw apparently but it all sounds rather messy..... "

Why would you be cutting through bone in childbirth?? I assume its somewhere along the same lines as snapping public bone to make more room.. Soooooo scary what women went through..

I believe so to; It was likely only employed under certain, urgent circumstances.

I do sincerely hope the poor mothers were unconscious before the said procedure commenced though (this was in the days before efficacious anaesthetic....)

A fairly recent poll has revealed that a staggering 62% of women and 48% of men stop mid sex to check their phones(!)

Various similarly conducted polls have furthermore deduced that almost half those questioned would rather give up sex than the internet and that for 40% of the responders, a good WiFi connection was considered more important than sexual intercourse.

I suppose logically, that the access to Internet porn served to effectively ‘tide them over’ so to speak....

Of course m’lady x

The traditional greeting between males as practised by the Walibri Tribe of Australia, is to reach down, grip and shake one another’s penises.

A prominent Australian journalist who visited the tribe in the 1950’s (when the practice was still very much evident) noted that the tribes men made a bee line straight for his plonker and furthermore expected the same in return for according to the journalist, and I quote, ‘To refuse a penis was a sign of hostility.’

In 12 grams of carbon there are 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms, that number is called Avogadro’s constant and is 1 mole.

For any reaction to occur you need 2 atoms to collide in the correct orientation and with enough energy to react, which is why chemistry seems like a bit of potion making and black magic as the numbers are worse than trying to win the lottery

Larry Hagman (of Dallas fame) once saved Keith Moons (of the Who) life.

They had got to know each other on set of "That'll Be the Day"

On night in a pissed up state, Moon started throwing bottles about in his house. A broken bottle severed an artery in his ankle.

By chance Larry Hagman called on him to find him passed out and bleeding profusely - called an ambulance and saved his life

Time for more factoids everyone (who’s groaning in the back row?)

Anyhoo, in 1961, an Italian artist by the name of Piero Manzoni filled up 90 tin cans with his own shit (as one commonly does). He subsequently labeled it as, ‘Artist’s shit’ (very original I’m sure you’ll agree?) and sold them according to their equivalent weight in gold. Many of the cans have since exploded due to decomposition producing high pressure gas inside the sealed tins. This has actually caused the value of the remaining cans to increase dramatically due to their resulting rarity with each approximately 30g tin now being estimated as worth well over the equivalent weight in gold, at a faecally fantastic estimation of 100,000 euros each!

What a load of old shit eh?

Actually, this leads me perfectly on to my next glorious fact; Did you know that whilst Buzz may lay claim to have been the first to take a lunar leak, it was none other than Neil Armstrong again, who discarded four bags of the astronauts poop on the moons surface?

......My sources in NASA have revealed unto me that due to weird cosmic rays on the moon’s surface, the aforementioned faeces has spontaneously and miraculously sprung to life developed sentience, reproduced at an alarming rate and now wishes to take the planet earth.

They measure a gloriously gargantuan 70 inches around and 43 inches under and would technically be supported by a 48V bra, if such a size bra were actually made (an ‘L’ Cup is, as far as I am aware, the maximum size available and was introduced in 2011)

Really? That is awesome!

It also leads me nicely onto my next fact......

White chocolate is not really chocolate at all as it does not actually contain cocoa solids i.e cocoa beans.

Theobroma Cacao is the tree that produces cocoa beans. The name translates as, ‘Food Of The Gods.’

Did you know that it takes 400 cocoa beans to make one pound of chocolate whilst each cacao tree produces approximately 2,500 beans?

However, this must be balanced against the fact that cacao trees are so delicate that farmers lose on average, 30 percent of their crop each year.

"Did you know that a ten year old mattress will weigh on average, approximately double what it did when it was first purchased? This is due to all the debris that it absorbs over time. The said debris includes dust mites (their droppings and decaying bodies), mold, millions upon millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, animal and human hair, secretions, excretions, lint, pollen, general dust, soil, sand, and perspiration.

How lovely "

Well thanks for that. I’m sure I’ll sleep much better tonight ...

Especially for you m’lady - this fact may ease your mind and help you sleep better:

A typically used mattress may harbour anywhere between 100,000 to 10 million dust mites inside.

In fact, a whopping ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow alone, can be composed of dead mites and their droppings.

Sweet dreams x

Looks like the ancient Egyptians knew more about science and cosmology than we do today. The people who study and translate their language and glyphs will tell you that they already knew everything that we are only discovering today, how a mere act of perseption can cause the wave like behaviour of matter to turn into particles... which scientists dont know. If you'd of asked Steven Hawking how many fundimental particles there are he would have said more than two hundred, ancient civilizations gave the exact number of two hundred and sixty six, they even had an understanding of string theory.

"In ancient Rome, when a man testified in court he would actually be called to swear upon his testicles (!!!)

(We really need to bring this one into UK Law)

I know a few court cases that could use this law"

Hence the word testimony

"The term "blood is thicker than water" comes from "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" which means the exact opposite!"

I must say, that’s the best profile name ever!!

Somewhere In The Ether…

A somewhat disturbing fact now and one which additionally may help you to finally decide once and for all, your preference of dogs vs cats:

Case history’s have repeatedly and consistently shown that if a dog’s owner expires leaving the dog shut in with the body, the dog will hold off for as long as possible (often weeks) before resorting to consuming the corpse.

Cats on the other hand clearly hold no such moral scruples and invariably start to nibble within the first twenty four hours(!!!)

Fuckers!
