Strange and Disturbing Facts (Installment I)

So begins the Strange and Disturbing Facts series. (Great for use at parties!) Go to Installment II

1. I'll start the series off with something you'll not soon forget...3% of all seagulls are gay!

2. Don't try this at home, but...It's safer to be shocked by a 220 volt current than a 110! The former will throw you across the room (just watch Sherlock Holmes for proof) while the latter will get a grip on you a fry you like a piece of chicken. (Or a frog...just watch Sherlock Holmes for proof.)

3. Feeding seagulls alka-seltzer is illegal in Washington state. I'm sure there's a very interesting story behind that one but I'm not the one to ask about it.

4. Male platypuses have venomous spurs on their hind legs which are used in mating. You don't want to know.

5. It's a Class C misdemeanor to fart in public for emitting noxious odors. Don't quote me on this. I just heard it somewhere.

6. Adolf Hitler was voted Time Magazine's man of the year in 1938. This is where Strange and Disturbing really comes into play.

7. Even more horrid than the last...Gertrude Stein proposed Hitler receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

8. Salt+frog legs=THIS. Strange, disturbing, but really, really awesome!

9. A seagull once stole and ate a whole piece of pizza right out of my cousin's hands. True story.

10. Saving the best for last...there are four hundred times more germs on the average office desk than a toilet! For those of you who haven't already guessed, I possess a healthy awareness of humanity's natural enemies. (My friends call it "germ freak".)
