It's a little known fact. . .

The weight of the human giving or receiving the head can vary widely. (tee hee)

Water, water everywhere

Nearly 97% of the world's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves 1% for all of humanity's needs.

If everyone in the US flushed the toilet just one less time per day, we would save enough water to fill a lake a mile long, a mile wide and four feet deep every day.

A faucet drip that totals only two tablespoons a minute wastes 15 gallons a day, 105 gallons a week and 5,460 gallons a year.

Ok, then how about this one:

If U.S. citizens averaged only 4 or 5 flushes per day, it would amount to more than 5 billion gallons of water down the drain. That's enough to supply water to the entire population of Chicago for more than 6 years.

does the 5 billion gallons include the "contribution" or is that simply "bowl-water" in that figure?

i used to have a friend in chicago but he's moved to phoenix so providing water to them is no longer important to me.

you're forcing me to continue this. lol.

There's as much water in the world today as there was thousands of yeard ago; it's the same water. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank. Perhaps Columbus sailed across it.



Heh heh

 

[Ricwilly]

I drink that "Dasani" water cause it costs more.

Heh heh

then why conserve it? if it's been here that long, surely it'll be here that much longer. apparently all the alarm is over nothing.

nikasha: that thing about the water reminds me of something from a line from a peanuts movie, about pigpen... :>

it's a little-known fact that there is such a thing as a pubic wig. it's called a merkin.

OH! i just heard this on stern the other night.

and it reminds me (for some reason)...

hitchcock used the term "mcguffin" to describe "the secret papers" or whatever it was that the good guys were trying to keep from the bad guys. he reasoned that the audience didn't really give a shit what the mcguffin was... just that it was the reason for the action and friction between the two.

According to research jokes containing one hundred and three words are the funniest, it was also found that jokes mentioning ducks were seen as funnier than other jokes.

This is supposedly the funniest joke at the time the research was done.

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?"

Now this joke falls short of the magic number by one word and there is no mention of ducks whatsoever. With a little bit of tweaking the following should be the funniest joke ever told.


A couple of New Jersey ducks are out in the woods hunting when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other duck whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

Now this joke (now corrected) to the magic number of 103 words and there is a mention of duck's.
