If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour (Don't try this at home,maybe at work) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!") The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm......) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (okay, so that would be a good thing) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...In other words, send it to everyone! The Middle Wife By an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher. I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back. When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome. Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. "This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday. First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord." She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement. "Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, oh, oh, oh!'" Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. "She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!'" Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning. "My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this." Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall. "And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!" This kid has her legs spread and with her little hands are miming water flowing away. It was too much! "Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe.' They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff, they all said it was from Mom's play-centre, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there." Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another Erica comes along. Now you have two choices...laugh and close this page or pass this along to someone else to spread the laughs. I know what I did!!

yeah, hi guys and welcome, i've not been here much longer myself but have been made to feel welcome already. a nice bunch of guys. (not to sure about that mozzy fella tho )

I hear mr Rossi also has an offer from Ferrari forumla one team for a test drive. one fast guy, feel sorry for his missus though, she must get the short end of the stick there?

LMAO would soemthing like febreeze be any good for removing odours maybe?

I always look at it the same way as I do when buying a lid in the first place ask yourself the question :- 'How much is my head worth?' That normally settles it. Plus i'm sure the guys here will agree, we don't wanna be losing members, we want more.

Adrian Flux did the business for me. They all seem to change their deals with the weather tho in my exp.

Hmmm, Corey Everson, ain't she gettin on a bit now though? anyways (35 and married so almost anything would do) but I still rather like Natasha Mealey (from the boogie pimps video, somebody to love) I would!

Hi all, thought i'd ad to the banter as you've been quite kind answering my techie probs with me RD. I'm 35 (gettin old now) Married for the second time and have 4 kids Live in East London Started biking in 87 with a Suzuki (sorry to swear) GS125 (had little lights to tell me what gear I was in). Soon progressed onto Yammies with a couple of YB100's and RXS100's Passed my test on the RXS (fantastic little bike) Then got an FZ600 in 88 as the FZR's came out (FZ was over £1500 cheaper!) That was a sweet bike, handled perfectly but I got a bit bored from the lack of top end so chopped it in for a GPZ900R (ah, the ole Ninja) an 85 model as a straight swap, not the best deal but the salesman knew I just had to have it. Anyways, took out a Ford Sierra, a tree and a Pillar Box(post box) with that in 89 and the resultant hospital stay ended my bike carear for a while. (them post boxes are cast iron and cost £950 back then!) Had a few little runabouts since then C50's, RS125's, some peugeot scooter thing all as cheap get to work stuff for under £200. Then I found my dream bike a year and a half ago on ebay, was only 20miles away too. RD350YPVS 4TW!! This is definately the most fun you can have with out risk of an STD! that'll do for now I spose.

Wow, you're name surely befits you, that sounds exactly like it could be the problem, I really must strip it down and take a look, the bikes been sitting as I've had a lot on my plate lately, but I will certainly be taking a look as soon as I can find a m8 with a garage I can use. (I don't mind riding in the british weather, but working on my bike in it is a whole other matter) Thx guys for all your replies.

Thanks Glenview09, I didn't have a loss of power, just drive, it was as if all gears i seceted were nuetral. I'm pretty sure the oil was gearbox and not 2 stroke, the weathers getting a bit cold without a garage to have a look, perhaps i'll ask the ex wife if i can use 'my old garage'. lol I will check the oil levels to see which has come out, i was thinking shrapnel damage too, then start my stripping around the clutch area and see what i can find. I think it does still start but i don't want to risk it with no oil in her. Thanks again to all who've replied. i'll just have to get my hands dirty now i guess. London transport is really p***ing me off now.

Yeah I have recently had the crank reconditioned and all the bottom end re-done, new bearings and all. Took it into my local garage for that, but don't have the cash to do that again. No, oil was black(ish) as normal and there is still water in the right places. I really should take a look, but it's raining and I have no garage. I'm not really one for getting my hands dirty, I prefer wires or computers. lol.
