The average human's height is equal to the distance between fingertips with arms outstretched within about an inch.

Supposedly your penis is the same size as the distance from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm.

How many of you guys just looked at your hand? How many then stretched their fingers a little bit?

In other news I have massive hands.

The Arizona Striped Whiptail Lizard is an all female species, creating (via eggs) genetic clones of itself in a practice known as parthenogenesis. Interestingly enough the ladies practice psuedocopulation, apparently as a stimulatory act promoting ovulation.

Space is a hell of a drug...

I cannot let this thread fall off the first page yet.  I'm too attached to this kind of useless trivia.  So here's a few random ones, verified by the internet.

The dates 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, and 12/12 all fall on the same day of the week during any one year.

All British battle tanks since 1945 are equipped with tea making facilities.

The orgin of the phrase "Show Your True Colors" is from Pirate ships that would approach their intended victim showing a false flag to lure them into a false sense of security.  When it was too late they would show their true colors - the black flag.

Speaking of pussy -

The "eight valleys" are a prime example of Chinese inquisitiveness and pedantry in these matters. Here the *yoni is subdivided into eight categories, each indicating a certain depth of the vaginal tunnel:

Lute String - 2 cm
Water-Chestnut Teeth - 5 cm
Little Stream - 8 cm (perhaps the *G-spot?)
Black Pearl  - 10 cm
Valley Proper - 12 cm
Deep Chamber - 15 cm
Inner Door - 18 cm
North Pole - 20 cm

"Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116" was a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991.  The boy's parents attempted to give their child this name as a protest against the Swedish law which requires government approval for names given to children.  The court rejected it.

Are we finally in repeats?

In 1996, a Swedish couple tried to name their son “Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116.” They would have pronounced it “Albin.”

No; Zeebo's couple was in 1991, yours was in 1996... No repetition there. No sirreeeee.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Seriously, do you think there's only one Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 or something?  It's probably common in Sweden.

Let's ask Gabor. It might be his middle name. I think it means pancake.

The way the story goes is that the kid was born in '91 and was called Albin by the parents but they never officially registered the name with the Department of Baby Tracking in Sweden. In '96 the DBT (Department of Baby Tracking) issued them with a fine for not officially naming the baby so in protest they named him Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116.

So we are both right but I am more right.

"Manufacturers warn that the world may soon run out of chocolate"

Typical media hyperventilating lie, but chocolate could easily turn into a luxury item, like caviar. 

In 2013, consumers ate about 70,000 metric tons more cocoa than was produced, The Washington Post reports, and that deficit could go up to 1 million metric tons by 2020. The Ivory Coast and Ghana produce more than 70 percent of the world's cacao beans, and both countries are experiencing dry weather that limits growth. To make things worse, a fungal disease called frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production.
