It's only Trivial

Buzzstuff.net had something that I looked forward to every week. I liked looking at unusual trivia and really enjoyed reading a useless fact that I actually knew. That was nice. So, I would like to take the baton and give you some trivia that I have found.

>> At -40 degrees Centigrade/Fahrenheit, a person loses about 14.4 calories per hour by breathing.

>> In 1933, Mickey Mouse, an animated cartoon character, received 800,000 fan letters.

>> There are only four words in the English language that end in "-dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.

>> Less than 3% of Nestle's sales are for chocolate.

>> The average person will spend 2 weeks over their lifetime waiting for the traffic light to change.

>> More than 2,500 left handed people are killed every year from using right handed products.

>> Feb 1865 and Feb 1999 are the only months in recorded history not to have a full moon.

>> More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes

>> Only 1 person in 2 billion will live to be 116 or older.

>> It is estimated that at any one time, 0.7% of the world's population are drunk.

Yes!! Thanks for taking over this "chore". I love reading those obscure facts.

The left handed one - oops, I'm left handed. I'd better be careful.

Another oops. I kept getting error messages when I tried to post, so you get to read my comments over and over if you choose.

Sorry

More people are killed by donkeys than plane crashes? That's a tough one to swallow. I don't think I've ever even heard of someone being killed by a donkey!

">> At -40 degrees Centigrade/Fahrenheit, a person loses about 14.4 calories per hour by breathing."
Only serves to further convince me I need to live where they have colder weather!!
