"The longest recorded period of sleep deprivation took place in 1964 when high school student Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours, earning him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Gardner had no lasting physical or mental problems but had delusions, paranoia and shortened memory span during his deprivation."

Quote by user=lickirishall Not so much a weird fact, but the tread reminded me of this unanswered question I had... Why do mirrors reverse left and right, but not up and down?
If A man gets an erection while he's unconscience during a surgical operation the nurse will tap the top of his cock with a cold tea-spoon to get rid of it!
Apparently if your male and have a serious back / spinal accident one of the side affects is to get an erection. Only after hearing it on one of those A&E programmes off the telly!!!

Sparks I think we're both right....pigs can swim and love swimming but if they swim for too long the hooves on their front feet will eventually cut their necks.
xmas facts head, it's what's for dinner. The traditional Christmas dinner in England used to be a pig head prepared with a mustard sauce. Most English folk are possibly quite delighted that this isn't the case anymore. and Evil spirits are the greatest broom thieves. The Norwegians once believed that witches and devious spirits were likely to steal their brooms on Christmas Eve. Who knows maybe a mischievous prankster stole a few brooms during that period and the legend stuck. 3. “Bah Christmasâ€. Perhaps not the best line created by Dickens, mainly because “Bah Humbug†just has that extra something special about it. Most people would probably agree that Dickens' decision to work on the famous catchphrase was a good move indeed. 4. There is a special act in Britain that actually makes it mandatory to go to church on Christmas day. The act that is deemed the Holy Days and Fasting Act still exists, however, not so much enforced. Additionally no vehicle of any kind is to be used to get to the Christmas service. 5. Forego throwing out your Christmas tree and make it lunch. The Evergreen is actually edible, well most parts of it anyway. In addition, it is nutrient enriched, so if you take the advice stated previously you'd be getting a good source of Vitamin C and roughage. Don't mind that you will be eating a tree; it's just one step away from any other vegetable. 6. Bake your bread on Christmas Eve and it will remain fresh forever. If only. There is an old wives' tale that actually suggests that bread baked on Christmas Eve is mould resistant. While it cannot be known now how many people believed this, it's pretty obvious that any believers would be converted after the appearance of mould on their bread beyond 5 days or so. 7. Kris Kringle really lives in the North Pole. But guess what he foregoes the reindeer and drives a 1984 Ford Tempo, additionally; he delivers Pizza instead of working in a magical toy shop.
