Did you know that it's illegal to fish in the Ohio River in Kentucky without an Indiana Fishing License?

Thanks for the contest!

I didn't know you were a teacher! Glad to see another teacher on the boards. Good luck with this school year.

The ocean is salty due to the fact that the average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of ***** when it ejaculates and only 10% makes into his mate....sooooo 360 gallons of nut in the ocean per ejaculation!!!

:shock:

If he had to pick based on the best entry, this should easily win. That's ridiculous and the kids would be soooo grossed out.

The planet Saturn has a density lower than water. So, if placed in water it would float.

The highest temperature on Earth was 136°F (58°C) in Libya in 1922.

The lowest temperature on Earth was -128.6°F (-89.6°C) in Antarctica in 1983.

Thanks for the contest

Cool contest! Here's my fun science fact (had to google some facts I'll admit):

The longest recorded flight of a chicken is thirteen seconds.

Fleas can jump 130 times higher than their own height. In human terms this is equal to a 6 FT person jumping 780 FT into the air.

Thanks for the contest!

missed the contest, but I'd like to add one that I remembered when reading the "sneezing" one: it is impossible for someone to lick its own elbows...
