[color:"orange"]Men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women! [/color] No wonder, as they carry small cash (metal coins) in their trouser's pockets - the consequence probably is that: Men are 6 x more likely to be struck by lightning than women, but women's handbags are 10 x more likely to be struck than men <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Or perhaps it's because more men than women play golf, and men think storms are cool, so they go out in them.

An ant can lift 50 times its own weight and pull 30 times its own weight. 50? isn't that a bit too mutch? i thought it was more like 7 times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> It's all relative, if an ant was our size, it wouldn't be able to lift its own body weight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" /> Ants are pretty much 100% muscle. They're so small they have no lungs (they breathe straight through their shell) and no heart (constant movement is enough to pump the blood).

[color:"orange"] In California, a law created in 1925 makes it illegal to wiggle while dancing. I didn't catch that. The female lion does ninety percent of the hunting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

ahh lions are sexist, <- that should provide ammunition for the political correctness nazis <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Today, in the west we live in a sexist environment - against men. It seems we've gone to the other extreem in which women have the most right to most things eg kids in marriage collapses (aka divorces)

Under Australian Communications Authority (ACA) regulations, your modem can't pick up on the first ring. If it does the ACA permit for your modem is invalid and there's a 12000 AUD fine. - Telecommunications Act 1991. Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Well, in California, it's seems to be illegal to shake with your a$$ when you're dancing. But there are more of these useless laws made: An old law in Bellingham, Wash., made it illegal for a woman to take more than 3 steps backwards while dancing. ![[Linked Image]](http://users.telenet.be/eforum/emoticons4u/party/bellyemoticon.gif)

How can they dance then without doing that ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> Ostriches are often not taken seriously. They can run faster than horses, and the males can roar like lions.

- There's enough brick in the great pyramid of Gizeh to build a wall around the entire border of France. - The St. Louis gateway arch is not a parabols, as most people think. Rather it is a hyperbolic cosine. That way it is more stable. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

- Kerimeski church in Finland is the world's biggest church made of wood.
- The St. Louis gateway had a projected death toll while it was being build. No one died.
- The american goverment used the Mc Kinley building becouse of it's unuseal architecture. If there was any type of explosion inside, the building would implode on to its self.
