  1. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

    (Hardly seems worth it.)

    If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

    (Now that's more like it!)

    The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

    ( O.M.G !)

    A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

    (In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

    A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.

    (Creepy.)

    (I'm still not over the pig.)

    Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour

    (Don't try this at home, maybe at work)

    The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to itsbody. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Honey, I'm home. What the...?!)

    The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

    (30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

    The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

    (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

    Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

    (I still want to be a pig in my next life ...quality over quantity)

    Butterflies taste with their feet.

    (Something I always wanted to know.)

    The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm......)

    Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

    (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

    Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

    (Okay, so that would be a good thing)

    A cat's urine glows under a black light.

    (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

    An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

    ( I know some people like that.)

    Starfish have no brains

    (I know some people like that too.)

    Polar bears are left-handed.

    (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)

    Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

    (What about that pig??)

    Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to, maybe even a chuckle.

    In other words, send it to everyone !

    (and God love that PIG)

  2. Merlin - the Eco village is being proposed to be built on where Vald Birn used to be, as well as the brown field site behind the Bucaneer. That's as much as I know.

    With regards to the power station - they had sited it behind the dog track/Cambois Park. It's still undecided though. I'd bet that if it goes ahead, it'll go where the old one used to be.

    is vald burn knocked down like forgive me for being slow but i never been since i worked there

    you know maybe if they do the houses surely the ammeneties i'll follow if the community big enough the demand will be there

  3. Good question monsta. What have you advertised?

    Answer: Several things. And.. I almost got my scooter, but it drove away! :lol:

    Everything has to start somewhere, and unless you try it you will never know. There's no risk, and some work underway to syndicate the content so there will be a bigger audience.

    The site does get alot of hits and they are still growing monthly. But, there are a lot of idiot people in the Town who do use the Internet but don't give the community site the support it deserves. They do visit occasionally, but are otherwise quite apathetic to any initiative going on around them.

    That I can partly understand; but more importantly for the community there are a lot of dumb business folk who don't know an effective marketing medium from their elbow (there I almost said it Malcolm! :D ). Quite happy to pay for ineffective press advertising, but haven't got the wit to exploit what other people are providing to them for free. Do these business' deserve to be part of our community? Maybe it's a self-leveling playing field? In business you reap what you sow!

    But - and here's the really sad fact - many of the prime movers here have already left the Town, and I suspect more are to follow! :mellow: Can your generation rise to the challenge or will they give up on the place and move on to greener pastures like many before? That's the real question! ;)
