geese poo every 7 minutes...over 5 pounds a day.

pandas eat almost 60 pounds of bamboos leaves a day, which is why they are becoming extinct...their poo, coincidentally, looks like ground up bamboo leaves.

I think #7 probably refers to the time-honored practice of a child steering whilen sitting on his father's lap.

Are you aware of the discovery in the human body of a nerve that connects the eyeball to the butthole?

It is called the Anal Optic Nerve. It is responsible for giving people a crappy outlook on life.

If you don't believe me, pull a hair from your butt and see if it doesn't bring a tear to your eye.

6. Dogs can't decipher size. That's why little dogs are mean.

So EVERYTHING looks the same size to a dog? Uuuh huuuh... You'd think these creatures would have died out a long time ago.
