Totally useless Information

It’s Monday-so you need something to laugh at. Here goes:

Did you know that a person lost in the woods and starving can obtain nourishment by chewing on their shoes? Leather has enough nutritional value to sustain life for a short time. Talk about polishing off a meal!

Did you know it takes 3,000 cows to supply a single season’s worth of footballs to the NFL?

Did you know that volcanic ash can remain hot for up to 100 years?

Did you know there are 4 places in the United States with the word chicken in their name? Chicken, Alaska-Chicken Bristle in Illinois, and Kentucky- and Chickentown, Pennsylvania.

Did you know that before 1859, baseball umpires were comfortably seated in padded rocking chairs behind home plate?

The average person blinks 25 times a minute.

The back of your hand is called the opisthenar.

And last but not least-
Even if the stomach, the spleen, 80 % of the intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from the pelvic and groin area are removed, the human body can still survive!



Sometimes you just need useless info like this on a Monday. Hope yours is good.
Love ya,
Rachel
