There's a bird that can fly up to 400km/h when diving.

 

 

 

Also, about the cocaine in Coca Cola thing, what I've heard is that the plants and such used in Coca Cola are also used to produce cocaine, and that developers working at Coca Cola are trying to find replacements or to abolish these traces of cocaine, but have yet to find a solution.

 

And this sounds believe since I got two friends that usually don't drink coke hooked on it by just letting them drink 1 can. Well, more then 2 friends, whoever drinks a can of coke at my house gets hooked and ends up drinking liters lol. And no, I don't drug them =P

Did you know

 

Michael Jordan having "retired," with $40 million in endorsements, makes $178,100 a day, working or not.

 

 

 

If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head.

 

 

 

If he goes to see a movie, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll make $18,550 while he's there.

 

 

 

If he decides to have a 5-minute egg, he'll make $618 while boiling it.

 

 

 

He makes $7,415/hour more than minimum wage.

 

 

 

If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours.

 

 

 

If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to do it at the rate of $200 every second.

 

 

 

He'll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round.

 

 

 

He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100-meter dash in the Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.

 

 

 

This year, he'll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined.

 

 

 

Amazing isn't it?

 

 

 

However...

 

 

 

If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 500 years, he'll still have less than Bill Gates has at this very moment.

 

 

 

Game over. Nerd wins.

What does methane have to do with the ozone layer? Methane is a greenhouse effect gas (that in fact, has a much stronger effect than CO2), not a gas that destroys the ozone layer.

DMT, a highly illegal hallucinogenic drug, is found in trace amounts in the human body. :o

 

 

 

Does it build up with sleep-deprivation?

 

 

 

It's not sure that the pineal gland DOES excrete DMT. Thought it has been linked through a few familiar chemicals as melatonine (our natural sleep hormone.)

 

 

 

So it's possible.

 

 

 

 

 

It's been a while since I did any studying on this, but I'll tell you what I remember...

 

 

 

It is believed that DMT is what causes us to dream once we fall asleep. It is also believed that when you die, your body continues to release DMT. If that is true, then maybe, once you die, you just go on a HUGE physchedelic trip for the rest of time.... Back to the DMT facts.... DMT is a strong drug that causes visual hallucinations, and is used by smoking the (usually pink) crystals/powder that it comes as. You can also inject it, but using it orally does nothing unless it is combined with other plants containing MAOIs. (DMT comes from plants). Ancient tribes around the areas that the plants grow in are the ones that discovered this combination of DMT and MAOIs and have been eating it and going on spiritual trips for ages now....

 

 

 

Thats about all I know. ;)

[My_Eggs]

Lol, my thoughts exactly rocco. I wouldn't mind spending eternity in a crazy dream/trip.
