here’s a bunch my mate sent me ages ago
1. Every year, parks in London alone are doused in one million gallons
of dog urine.
2. The germs present in human faeces can pass through up to ten layers of
toilet paper.
3. The best (?) recorded distance for projectile vomiting is 27 feet.
4. Contrary to popular belief, if you swallow chewing gum it does not stay
in the gut. Usually it will pass through the system and is excreted without
incident. However, several cases have been reported where the gum has stuck
in the rectum, causing the unfortunate sufferer to excrete long sticky
trails of gum, like a pink spider’s web.
5. Several well-documented instances have been reported of extremely obese
people flushing aircraft toilets whilst still sitting on them. The vacuum
action of these toilets sucked the rectum inside out.
6. It is physically possible to cough your guts up.
7. If your body’s natural defences failed, the bacteria in your gut would
consume you within 48 hours, literally eating you from the inside out.
8. What is one of the most difficult items for sewage works to handle, as
it
is insoluble, yet fine enough to pass through most filtration systems?
Every
month Thames Water removes over a ton of this substance from its water
treatment plants, whereupon it is taken away to a land fill site and
buried.
You guessed it - pubic hair.
9. Parasites count for 0.01% of your body weight.
10. Henry II was murdered by his homosexual lover, who pushed ared-hot
poker
0.5 metres up his rectum.
11. The longest recorded tapeworm found in the human body was 33*metres* in
length.
12. A woman who had recently visited South America, where she had been on
safari in local rainforest, began to experience severe pains in her left
ear, accompanied by headaches, dizziness and constant rustling sounds, at
first put down to tinnitus. It became so serious that exploratorysurgery
was
required, which revealed that a spider which had become trapped in her ear.
Eventually it had eaten through her eardrum and was living within the aural
cavity. The rustling sounds were from the spider crawling around inside her
skull. An egg sac was also removed.
13. A man in Australia was concerned about a growing lump on his nose, was
examining it in the mirror and saw a red back spider crawl out. Doctors
found an entire red back nest inside his nose.
14. An obese woman was admitted to a Queensland hospital with stomach
pains,
it turned out that her T.V. remote control was stuck in between rolls of
fat
and had eventually become an abscess.
15. Another woman in Queensland who had lost a lot of weight went to the
doctor with a big, hard, horn-like object protruding from her abdomen.
Closer examination determined that it was years of compacted
belly-buttonfluff.
