DID YOU KNOW:

 

1. Average number of times a man will ejaculate in his lifetime is 7,200.

 

2. Women must address bachelors as master instead of mister, according to an Illinois state law.

 

3. During the 16th century, newly married couples in France had to stand naked outdoors while the groom kissed the bride's left foot and big toe as part of traditional customs.

 

4. Being unmarried can shorten a man's life by ten years.

 

5. In 1976, a Los Angeles secretary named Jannene Swift officially married a fifty pound rock. More than twenty people witnessed the ceremony. (And people worry about same sex couples marrying!) :wacko:

 

Now someone has to top my senseless facts and trivia with their own.

1. Did you know Moby's knew video for Beautiful includes people who rent or own animal costumes and go to parties where everyone is wearing them. These parties often end up with a form of frotting with the costume on.

 

Imagine being the next guy to rent the costume.

 

2. In California, women may not wear a housecoat while driving (My Nanny broke this one ALL the time...in fact they may have MADE the law because of her).

 

3. If a woman's husband dies without getting her pregnant, his brother is to marry her. If he dies before children ensue, the next brother gets her. You should remember this because it's one of the scenarios the Pharisees and Saducees used in an attempt to trip up Jesus. It's an old Jewish custom.

 

Now, imagine being the little brother in the family...

 

4. Being unmarried may shorten the years, but there's no comment on the quality of life difference!

 

5. People gripe about a lack of traditional values in our country, but haven't really explained WHOSE traditional values they are seeking to restore. My favorite would be the Puritans. Weekly stake burnings of heretics would help restore stronger sense of community as we gathered around the bonfire and sang bible hymnals while sending some poor soul corrupted by evil into the fires of hell through using the fires of the earth.

I'm not sure this is relevant, but I'm pretty sure i've ejaculated about as much of that number about now and I've just turned 24... Damn, I think I have a problem. : (

No pig may be addressed as Napoleon by its owner.

 

 

And one from my state It is illegal to tickle women.

 

Sighs does it occour to the people in each state and country that some laws are so old they should be changed.

Actually, the songs must be sung in French. Law passed in 1994 if I remember correctly. But if an American artist sings in French, it's OK. A dumb law indeed.

 

Glad to know about the other one. I wasn't aware of it. I'll rename my pig Bonaparte.

In Melbourne it is currently illegal to wash you car (excluding windows and mirrors) except at some commerical car washes.

 

That's because of current water restrictions. If you wash the windows and mirrors, you have to use a bucket. As has been pointed out, this raises an interesting question -- if you use a bucket of water to wash the windows and mirrors, what are you supposed to do with the water afterwards? Why can't you use it to wash the rest of the car as well? Otherwise you're wasting water....

Sounds like everything's in working order to me :P

 

Actually I completely agree with you! I think that number HAS to be off. I've just done some math and by conservative estimates I'm at at least 5,000. That would only give me 2,200 more for the rest of my life. Assuming I make it to 74 - I think the current life expectancy for males in the USA is slightly older, and I'm quite healthy so it seems doable - that would only be about once every two weeks (~12 days)! I can't imagine my libido dropping off that drastically that quickly!
