In 1977 there were 37 Elvis impersonators in the world. In 1993, there were 48,000. At this rate, by the year 2010 one out of every three people will be an Elvis impersonator.

If you farted constantly for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.<br />(of course you would live alone by then) :p

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.<br /><br />And this one really struck me as interesting.<br /><br />The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.<br /><br />Chris...........
