Citation Needed Part DEUX

I enjoyed writing the post from a little bit ago I have decided to do it again. Here are some interesting facts I found from around the web:

1: Contrary to popular belief, bats are not blind. They can see, however everything is tinted blue.

2: The First person on record to have died of laughing was a Grecian cook named Skatáton Eaf̱tósas did so upon accidentally inventing the laxative at a baccanal.

3: Ecuador is the worlds top exporter of domesticated penguins.

4: There is a breed of jumping spider that can jump so high that it dies from the resulting fall. It is known as Salticidae Conscivit.

5: President John Quincy Adams once funded an expedition to meet the mole people who lived under the Earth's crust. The trade mission failed however as mole people refuse to do buisiness with bald people. They view them as cowards, who are not to be trusted (even their hair runs away).

6: The biggest cause of accidental death in offices is the copy machine. Workers will often try to photo copy their ass and break the glass inside, which can sever the femoral artery.

7: The orange paint used to create the makeup for the oompa loompas in the original Charlie And The Chocolate Factory permanently dyed the actors orange. 

8: Winston Churchill's last words were "I think I just shat on my knob".

9: Cats cannot perceive citrus odors.

10: All photographs of the Loch Ness Monster are fake as Nessie died fighting against British naval forces during Edward I's campaign to take Scotland in 1296 well before the invention of photography. The most famous photograph of "Nessie" is actually a photo of the Loch Oich monster who took up the reigns of Nessie after she died.

I wanted to try something new this week, so I decided to share some of the random trivia I've picked up over the years, combined with some random shit I made up. See if you can figure out which is which without googleing it.

*A woman once caused a two car pile up because she was shaving her pussy.

*Roald Amundsen, the first explorer to reach the south pole, wrote his name on the pole with his piss. Thanks to Antarctica's low annual rainfall it can still be seen today.

*The phrase "A dingo ate my baby" originated as a punchline in the Australian comedy skit show "Crikey". Unfortunately, the prop baby used in the scene was eaten by a dingo.

*A pregnant female goldfish is known as a twit.

*Moray eel's are the only non-mammalian vertebrate to lactate. They use it as a way to blind prey before killing them.

*Female ferrets die via overheating if the don't have sex while in heat.

*Bats always turn left after exiting caves.

*The reason the French call orgasms "le petit mort" is because they take 3.8 hours off of your life ever time you have one.

*There was an octopus in Germany named Otto who juggled his tank-mates, used rocks to try to break the glass in his tank, and shot water at lamps to turn them off because he didn't like being out in the light.

*The stat that every year the average person eats 5 spiders in their sleep is skewed by a group of spider farming Appalachian hill folk who have a very rare form of parasomnia which forces them to eat spiders while sleep walking. Accounting for this group the actual number is .0000000001 spiders per year.
