Robinson's Believe It Or Not!

Got sent these today. Not a clue if they are true.

1. Every year, parks in London alone are doused in one million gallons of dog urine. (and people sit here to picnic, shag etc.)
2. The germs present in human faeces can pass through up to ten layers of toilet paper. (which is why I wipe with asbestos gloves on)
3. The best recorded distance for projectile vomiting is 27 feet. (thank you, I assume my cheque is in the post? No, really ..... ask Dan! I don't get these people who just lean over, spew and carry on. I am a gibbering wreck, usually burst blood vessels in my face from the force of retching and lose my eyesight for a few mins from lack of oxygen and force of the spewing. My gut spends so much time forcing stuff up, I cant get air in as my throat closes)
4. Contrary to popular belief, if you swallow chewing gum it does not stay in the gut. Usually it will pass-through the system and is excreted without incident. However, several cases have been reported where the gum has stuck in the rectum, causing the unfortunate sufferer to excrete long sticky trails of gum, like a pink spider's web. (now THAT Id like to see in Spiderman.....)
5. Several well-documented instances have been reported of extremely obese people flushing aircraft toilets whilst still sitting on them. The vacuum action of these toilets sucked the rectum inside out. (that flush noise scares me enough as it is)
6. It is physically possible to cough your guts up. (Who found this out?)
7. If your body's natural defences failed, the bacteria in your gut would consume you within 48 hours, literally eating you from the inside out. (and I'm done with the chicken and rice)
8. What is one of the most difficult items for sewage works to handle, as it is insoluble, yet fine enough to pass through most filtration systems? (Every month Thames Water removes over a ton of this substance from its water treatment plants, whereupon it is taken away to a landfill site and buried) You guessed it - pubic hair. (And that's just my mate Richie's.......)
9. Parasites count for 0.01% of your body weight. (so not enough to warrant getting rid of them to lose weight then. Speaking of which I am still stuck at 13,4 ... what will it take to get down any more? Cut off a leg?)
10. Henry II was murdered by his homosexual lover, who pushed a red-hot poker 0.5 metres up his rectum. (Don't be giving Dan ideas.......)
11. The longest recorded tapeworm found in the human body was 33 metres in length.
12. A woman who had recently visited South America, where she had safaried in local rainforest, began to experience severe pains in her left ear, accompanied by headaches, dizziness and constant rustling sounds, at first put down to tinnitus. It became so serious that exploratory surgery was required, which revealed that a spider which had become trapped in her ear. Eventually it had eaten through her eardrum and was living within the aural cavity. The rustling sounds were from the spider crawling around inside her skull. An egg sac was also removed. (Ugh.. was just a bit sick in my mouth)
13. A man in Australia was concerned about a growing lump on his nose, was examining it in the mirror and saw a red back spider crawl out. Doctors found an entire red back nest inside his nose. (Why is it never butterflies?)
14. An obese woman was admitted to a Queensland hospital with stomach pains, it turned out that her T.V. remote control was stuck in between rolls of fat and had become an abscess. (Shit ... where is my dvd remote?)
15. Another woman in Queensland who had lost a lot of weight went to the doctor with a big, hard, horn-like object protruding from her abdomen. Closer examination determined that it was years of compacted belly-button fluff. (Ah! see, I clean mine and Dans out every day!)
