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 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 a red-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 exploratory surgery 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-button
fluff.

Still makes for reading...

Here's a fact for you - when a frog wishes to vomit, it pulls its stomach outside of its mouth, thus turning it inside out. It then scrapes out the contents and replaces its stomach where it should be.

MarkO

Reminds me of a girl I once knew.

How on earth could that have evolved
Frog can't throw up it dies.
Frog wants to throw up so it accidentally shoots its stomach out, but no muscles are in place to bring it back in again, it dies.
Frog wants to throw up, so it accidentally shoots its stomach but does'nt know how to scrape it out, it dies.

Tiggs
Are you talking about the spotted reading frog of southern Sri lanka?

If so be careful what you let them read

No seriously, how would something like that evolve???

Mice_Elf

When I say that it scrapes the contents out, it does this with its front legs / paws / feet / hooves - whatever frogs have for front limbs.

Dave P

I know how the frog feels !!!! That was the state I was in the Sunday before last!!!!

I must not drink.... I muist not drink....

Seriously , guys, I once went on a trip round the local sewage works, (don't ask!), and asked the guide what were the strangest things that came down the sewer, and were filtered out at the screens.
The response was: an 8 foot python, TWO compact cameras, and LOADS of pairs of false teeth.
Apparently they keep the teeth, in case anyone wants to reclaim them!!! I kid you not!
Alcazar

Mice_Elf

could you imagine asking for your teeth back once they'd been down there!??

alcazar

Funny you should post those smilies, (or should that be "chuckies"?), as apparently that's how the teeth get down there in the first place!

Having worked at sewrage works in the past I would have thought it was sweetcorn and peas which couldn't go through the plant.
Another one would be fat ***** weighing several pounds which would get caught up in the inlet works.
Funniest objects despatched to works? - has to be small ******/ novelty condoms or parts of plus underwear.
Most works have "museums" of curios for visitors to be amazed.
