To add onto not_a_freud's "ant" theme:

Ants stretch when they wake up. They also appear to yawn in a very human manner before taking up the tasks of the day.

Another one:

Chicago, Illinois- It is illegal for a woman that weighs 200 pounds to ride horses in shorts.

Funny. I have never seen a horse wearing shorts!

What a great thread!

The company that manufactures the greatest number of women's dresses each year is Mattel. Barbie's got to wear something.

The human eye can wink in one-fortieth of a second. (so forty winks is only one second? ..hardly constitutes a nap methinks) ;)

An object that weighs five pounds on the earth would weigh two pounds on the planet Mercury. (and they say BLACK is slimming :) )

The nine most useful English words are: and, be, it, of, the, will, I, have, and you.
(hmmm...I like the sound of the last four..eh Puddles? :eek: :D )

Not in the MARVELOUS category, but certainly information we still need to know, as women.

Figures compiled by the British government, development agencies and human rights groups resemble a roll call of shame:

* Two-thirds of the world's 800 million illiterate adults are women as girls are not seen as worth the investment, or are busy collecting water or firewood or doing other domestic chores.

* Two million girls aged from five to 15 join the commercial sex market every year.

* Domestic violence kills and injures more people in the developing world than war, cancer or traffic accidents.

* Seventy per cent of the world's poorest people are women.

* Violence against women causes more deaths and disabilities among women aged 15 to 44 than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war.

* Women produce half the world's food, but own less than two per cent of the land.

* Of the more than one billion people living in extreme poverty, 70 per cent are women.

Stuck in quicksand? Don't fight, try to lift one side of body out and monkey crawl out on top of the land, keep crawling, don't fight it.

All bird eggs are edible. Even the shell, high in calcium.
