A honey bee must tap two million flowers to make one pound of honey A honey bee travels an estimated 43,000 miles to gather one pound of honey. A pound of honey consists of 29,184 drops. A honeybee can fly at fifteen miles per hour. A horse can sleep standing up. A Horse has 18 more bones than a Human. A human being loses an average of 40 to 100 strands of hair a day. A human has a bone just after the spine ends, which helps proves that humans once had tails (possibly). A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated. A human's scent membrane in the nose is about the size of a postage stamp. A dog's is about the size of a handkerchief. It's olfactory lobe is also 4 times that of a humanThanx liz chell A humming bird flaps its wings up to 90 times in one second or over 5000 times a minute. A hummingbird weighs less than a penny

Amazing! I went through alot of heavy discussions today, and I can't tell you how refreshing it is to just chill out and read one of your, hmmmmm "stress relievers" I don't want to call it "jokes" Being from Africa I knew the one about the hippopotamus! They kill on average more people in my country than sharks. In my town there is a sign warning people about hippo's and croc's crossing there road! I will take a picture! When I get around it because I owe 2 pictures to my friends now!

Did you know that a pickle has an average of 56 bumps? It's true. But what does that mean about cucumbers? Is it the same?

Well, considering pickles are just cucumbers soaked in dill juice, wouldn't it make sense that a cucumber would have an average of 56 bumps as well?
