Filler - Random Facts You Don' t Really Need To Know

For every person on earth, there are an estimated 200 million insects. ----- We seriously need to start thinking about being nicer to them.


An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. ----- Britney Spears has been rumoured to be an ostrich.


Starfish don't have brains. ----- In other contrary reports,Britney Spears has been rumoured to be a starfish.


A perfect SAT score is 1600 combined. Bill Gates scored 1590 on his SAT. Paul Allen, Bill's partner in Microsoft, scored a perfect 1600. Bill Cosby scored less than 500 combined. ----- And now you know why Bill Cosby spends so much time with kids.


The ant, when intoxicated, will always fall over to its right side ----- Atleast we have something in common.


Actor Bruce Willis filed a lawsuit against the movie studio that produced his film "Tears of the Sun", alleging he was struck in the forehead by a fake bullet. Since 2002 (when the movie was in production), the lawsuit claims he endured "extreme mental, physical, and emotional pain and suffering". ----- He also started experiencing periods.


There are more cars in Southern California than there are cows in India. ----- That just cannot be true. Southern California cannot have more than a zillion cars. It just can't be.


Seven percent of Americans claim they never bathe at all. ----- Bush countered this fact in his latest speech by saying, "Look at the bright side....95% of Americans do bathe".


Horses and Rabbits cannot vomit. ----- Now you know why Bugs Bunny was an alcoholic.


A dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours. ----- So I'm guessing a dragonfly would suffer midlife crisis around hour 12?


Canada is an Indian word meaning "Big Village" ----- I have a strange feeling India is a Canadian word meaning "bigger village".


Maine is the toothpick capital of the world. ----- If someone ever tells you they are from Maine, ask them to show you their teeth, and if there's any food stuck there, you'll know they are lying.


If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. ----- If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would be institutionalized. Stick to microwaves.


The Spanish word esposa means "wife." The plural, esposas, means "wives," but also "handcuffs." ----- Hmmmm...very interesting.


Russian scientists have developed a new drug that prolongs drunkenness and enhances intoxication. ----- I now have a new found respect for Russians.


Cat's urine glows under a blacklight. ----- Another reason why they consider themselves superior to dogs, who incidentally do not have glow in the dark urine. They can chase their own tails for hours though....and that's way cooler.


There is a new television show on a British cable called "Watching Paint Dry". Viewers watch in real-time. Gloss, semi-gloss, matte, satin, you name it. Then viewers vote out their least favorite. ----- Reason number 189 why I left UK.

There are more than a zillion cows in India I agree... but thankfully Indian's don't necessarily have to subject themselves to 'watch the paint dry'...

(why am i starting to think that i am equally qualified to write something like you.. lolz)

if cockroaches are insects, i totally agree. Though how come when intoxicated, I always fall on my nose? something makes me think ants were not a part of my evolutionary process.

onnesha said...

come come!britney aint that bad.she just married a couple of times and divorced more times than she wed.
latest news says she has developed a nice little paunch.now,if i had the entire paparazzi measuring my every move,probably i would turned out the same way as her.
when you have the entire world talking about you,who cares a fuck what is bigger?the eyes or the brain?

@distanthorizon - Because I have no qualifications whatsoever?

@ abhishek - I've wanted to write about South Park for a long, long while man...but somehow never got to it. Although now that you've made a "special request" (you will be charged 2 chloromints for that..the small 50 paisa ones..dont worry), and South Park's 11th season has restarted, I think it's about time.

So you'll probably see it in the next couple of weeks.

@electronic goose - Nah that's too close to making sense. Bush is always wrong by atleast 2%.

@ ad libber - haha that sounds painful. Embrace the ant culture..seriously.

@ onnesha - I actually feel bad for Britney now...she's a mess. I want to write something about the whole celebrity culture/paparazzi thing, and how it can affect people, but it'll probably be way too boring. Maybe sometime later. Like 2012.

And thank you to everyone else for the comments. I apologize for my prolonged absence, even though I know you didn't notice.
