Some Interesting (And Strange) Facts

Well, here are a few strange, interesting and perhaps little known facts a friend of mine sent me a while ago. Enjoy!

• Studies show that if a cat falls off the 7th floor of a building, it has about 30% less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the 20th floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself.

• It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.

• The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is 'uncopyrightable'.

• The longest recorded flight of a chicken is thirteen seconds.

• A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

• An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
