Why am I here?! I am supposed to be doing art!!!
urgh, anyway,
some amazing facts I found:
[ Roy Cleveland Sullivan got stuck by lightning 7 freaking times.
According to National Geographic's Flash Facts About Lightning, the odds of being struck in a lifetime is three-thousand to one. If the different events of "being struck by lightning" were statistically independent, the chances of being struck seven times in a lifetime are about one to sixteen-septillion (sixteen followed by 24 zeros; 16,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
heh, there is such a word called septillion. ]
[ Robert Pershing Wadlow is tha tallest man ever lived. He reached 2.72 m and weight 220kg at his death. when he was 4, he was 1,6m*OMFG*, when he was 10, he was 2m and weigh 100kg*omfg* when he was 22, he was 2.72m and 220kg, and then he died.*omfg*
This human(if he is), he was then same height as me when he was 4, freaking 4 years old.
and if he lived till like 80 years old, he would be like 20m and weigh 10000kg ]
[ Charles Osborne hiccupped continuously for 68 years (1922-1990), got entered in Guinness World Records as the man with the Longest Attack of Hiccups. *HAHAHAHAHA* The hiccups started in 1922 at a rate of 40 times per minute, slowing to 20 hiccups per minute and eventually stopping on June 5, 1990, a total of 68 year.
Osborne began hiccuping in 1922, while slaughtering a hog.*HAHAHAHAHA* Despite his condition, Osborne was able to lead a normal life, and was even married two times.
It has been estimated that Osborne hiccupped 430 million times over the 68 year period. The average human only hiccups about 2,300 times in an average lifetime ]
[ Elaine Davidson is the "Most Pierced Woman" according to the Guinness World Records.
When examined by a Guinness World Record official in May 2000, Davidson had 462 piercings, with 192 in her face alone. By August 2001 when she was re-examined she was found to have 720 piercings.
Performing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2005, the Guardian reported that she now had 3,950 body piercings. She has more piercings in her *ahem-ahem* than in any other part of the body - 500 in all, externally and internally. The total weight of her jewelry is estimated to be about 3 kilograms. As of May 2008, Davidson's piercings total 5,920 ]
