Penguins drink salt water. A special gland filters the salt out. Then they sneeze it away!
Genesis 9:2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea, they are given into your hands.

No NFL team which plays its home games in a domed stadium has ever
   won a Super Bowl in a dome.

Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have
 notched edges, while pennies and nickels do not? The US Mint
 began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and
 silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of
 the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are
 notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels
 aren't notched because the metals they contain were not valuable
 enough to shave.

                         Some Taxing Information
 
The Gettysburg address is 269 words, the Declaration of Independence
 is 1,337 words, and the Holy Bible is only 773,000 [I don't know what
 version the author was referring to] words. However, the tax law has
 grown from 11,400 words in 1913, to 7 million words today.
 *
 There are at least 480 different tax forms, each with many pages of
 instructions.
 *
 Even the easiest form, the1040E has 33 pages in instructions, and
 all in fine print.
 *
 The IRS sends out 8 billion pages of forms and instructions each
 year. Laid end to end, they would stretch 28 times around the earth.
 *
 Nearly 300,000 trees are cut down yearly to produce the paper for all
 the IRS forms and instructions.
 *
 American taxpayers spend $200 billion and 5.4 billion hours working
 to comply with federal taxes each year, more than it takes to produce
 every car, truck, and van in the United States.
 *
 The IRS employs 114,000 people; that's twice as many as the CIA and
 five times more than the FBI.
 *
 60% of taxpayers must hire a professional to get through their own
 return.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have
 produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
 
 Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
 
 The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
 
 Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than
 left-handed people do.
 
 The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own
 weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.
 
 Polar bears are left handed.
 
 The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. That makes the catfish #1 for
 the animal having the most taste buds.
 
 The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping
 the length of a football field.
 
 A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves
 to death.
 
 Butterflies taste with their feet.
 
 An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.
 
 Starfish don't have brains.

It takes 3,000 cows to supply the NFL with enough leather for a
   year's supply of footballs.
