So I'm bored at work looking up useless facts when I came across this- During your lifetime, you'll eat about 60,000 pounds of food. That's the weight of about 6 elephants

Really makes me kinda sick to my stomach to think about all that food!!!

    Ok one more- A hard working adult sweats up to 4 gallons per day. Most of the sweat evaporates before a person realizes it's there, though!

    When reading horizontally from Shakespeare's original published copy of Hamlet, the furthest left hand side reads 'I am a homosexual' in the last 14 lines of the book. Was this a message, or just a coincidence?

    not true. When we learned of this, my kids and I became determined to prove it isn't true. It is hard to resist, but it isn't impossible.
