Ahhhhhh.... Nature !

After 7 Years, That Button Could Be On The President's Desk... KABOOM !

Burps, farts, sex - all of those fantastic functions of nature that make each of us and other species unique. While one poot or burp may seem insignificant, if you add them up, they could lead to the destruction of Planet Earth itself !!!! Maybe not. But you never know.. How was all of this information discovered? Probably from studies paid for with government earmarks..

I had this forwarded by a co-worker. Here are a few curious facts about Nature for your perusal - a perfect little bit of brainless fodder for a Sunday..

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

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