BELIEVE IT OR NOT Part 2

ALCOHOL ON MILK

One glass of milk can give a person a .02 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) on a Breathalyzer test. That’s enough in some US states for persons under age 21 to lose their driver’s license and be fined.

HANG UP AND DRIVE

When drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 talk on a cellphone while driving, their reflexes slow down. They react as though they are 65 to 74 years old.

THE POWER OF BONES

Human bones can withstand more compression force than granite. They are 4 times more resilient than concrete when stretched and 5 times as light as steel.

TEENS BEWARE

A woman becomes pregnant most easily at the age of 18 or 19, with little real change until the mid-20s. There is then a slow decline to age 35, a sharper decline to age 45, and a very rapid decline as the women near menopause.

SAVE THE ANIMALS

If you are vegetarian, in your lifetime you will spare the suffering of six cows, 22 pigs, 30 sheep, 800 chickens, 50 turkeys, 15 ducks, 13 geese, 7 rabbits, and 1 half ton of fish.

QUANTITY OF WATER

The earth’s total allotment of water has a volume of about 344 million cubic miles. Of this:

315 million cubic miles (93%) is sea water.
9 million cubic miles (2.5%) is in aquifers deep below the earth’s surface.
7 million cubic miles (2%) is frozen in polar ice caps.
53,000 cubic miles of water pass through the planet’s lakes and streams.
4,000 cubic miles of water are atmospheric moisture.
3,400 cubic miles of water are locked within the bodies of living things.

If the entire world’s water were fit into a gallon jug, the fresh water available for us to use would equal only to about one tablespoon….ryt?..^_^
