Blog Post #16

Today i was reading a friends blog just to check it out and she had wrote about a list of random facts she came across. This seemed fun to me so i decided to do it too. My favorite random facts that i read today were left handed people live slightly less longer than right handed people. People spend about 2 weeks of their lives at traffic lights. An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain. More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month. When you sneeze, all your bodily functions stop, even your heart, that is why you close your eyes. If Bill Gates drops a thousand dollars, he won’t even bother to pick it up because the 4 seconds he picks it up, he would’ve already earned it back. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he dies. Cockroaches can live for 9 days after their head has been cut off. On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year. Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. A snail can sleep for three years. The electric chair was invented by a dentist. All polar bears are left handed.
