Here is a place for totally random facts (must be true).

Did you know, the first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C?

I think that's because the smell of the dung would put you off doing the deed..lol :wink:

If a statue in the park is of a person on a horse that has both front legs in the air, then the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Koalas and humans are the only animals with unique prints. Koala prints cannot be distinguished from human fingerprints.

What fun - I just got a whole list of these in a "to people who know everything" email this morning!

Did you know - that a duck's quack doesn't echo and that nobody knows why?

During the female orgasm, endorphines are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.

I actually did this when my back was hurting (not when it was spasming of course because any position was painful) and it works!
