A 1.5 oz. milk chocolate bar has only 220 calories.

A 1.75 oz. serving of potato chips has 230 calories.

A recent study indicates when men crave food, they tend to crave fat and salt. When women crave food, they tend to desire chocolate.

American and Russian space flights have always included chocolate.

American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk -- only surpassed by the cheese and ice cream industries.

Americans consumed over 3.1 billion pounds of chocolate in 2001, which is almost half of the total world's production.

Aztec emperor Montezuma drank 50 golden goblets of hot chocolate every day. It was thick, dyed red and flavored with chili peppers.

Bittersweet chocolate is what is usually called for in baking. It contains more chocolate liquor (at least 35%) and less sugar than sweet chocolate. Semisweet chocolate contains 15% - 35% chocolate liquor.

**Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a natural substance that is reputed to stimulate the same reaction in the body as falling in love.**

Chocolate syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 second shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, Psycho, which actually took 7 days to shoot.

Columbus brought cacao (chocolate) beans back to Spain on his fourth voyage in 1502.

Hawaii is the only US state that grows cacao beans to produce chocolate.

One plain milk chocolate candy bar has more protein than a banana.

Per capita, the Irish eat more chocolate than Americans, Swedes, Danes, French, and Italians.

Pet parrots can eat virtually any common "people-food" except for chocolate and avocados. Both of these are highly toxic to the parrot and can be fatal.

Ten percent of U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of iron is found in one ounce of baking chocolate or cocoa. Chocolate also contains Vitamins A1, B1, B2, C, D and E as well as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron.

Correction

In the late 19th century, millions of human mummies were used as fuel for locomotives in Egypt where wood and coal was scarce, but mummies were plentiful.

Cats have better memories than dogs. Tests conducted by the University of Michigan concluded that while a dogs memory lasts no more than 5 minutes, a cat's can last as long as 16 hours - exceeding even that of monkeys and orangutans.

Don't cry, abbey. I found out they live much longer!! Mayflies don't last much past a day, however....

Link to the British Dragonfly Society! (there's a society for almost everything!)Dragonflies :wah:

How long do Dragonflies live? Is it true that they only live for one day?

At the shortest, a dragonfly's life-cycle from egg to death of adult is about 6 months. Some of the larger dragonflies take 6 or 7 years! Most of this time is spent in the larval form, beneath the water surface, catching other invertebrates. The small damselflies live for a couple of weeks as free-flying adults. The larger dragonflies can live for 4 months in their flying stage. In Britain, lucky Damsels seldom go more than two weeks and Dragons more than two months. Most Damsels rarely go more than a week, and Dragons two or three weeks. They die from accidents and predation, and large numbers from starvation - in poor weather neither they nor their prey can fly.

No insect has a lifespan of only one day - even mayflies (not closely related to dragonflies) live for several months underwater as larvae before emerging as winged adults. Adult mayflies may only live for a day or so as they are dedicated "breeding machines". They cannot feed as adults as (most) don't have any functional mouthparts.

here's some really stupid shiite...

take a piece of string, wrap it around your thumb 2 times. that is the same distance as once around your wrist.

take another piece of string, go 2 times around your wrist, that is almost exactly once around your neck. just a smidge short.

Hold your arms out to the sides, making a giant letter"T"

the distance from the tip of your middle finger to middle finger is the Exact same as your height.

the distance from the bottom of your palm to the middle of you elbow "pit" is the same distance as the tip of your big toe to the back of your heel.

something really weird, for every external inch of "manhood" there is an equal and opposite internal inch.

He didn't really surf, he just laid on his back and the kite pulled him across the water.

(Does anyone else think he had some kind of fetish with kites?)

BIKINI

The island of Bikini, in the Pacific Ocean was destroyed in 1946 when the US military tested nuclear bombs in the area. That summer, in France, designers Jacques Helm and Louis Reard premiered a new swimsuit. The effect this daring two piece costume had on the male psyche was said to resemble the nuclear explosion.
