Well this is a pretty pointless one. Apparently if you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. Doesn't really seem worth it though...

Yep i remember seeing that in the exponential times video from like 2009 i think
Anyway, I found this funny: It is estimated that millions of trees in the world are accidentally planted by squirrels who bury nuts and then forget where they hid them!
Not sure if it counts as a fact tho :P

Here's another one: Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.
The book where I read that didn't give a reason, but I think it's because most tools are made for right-handed people so when a left-handed person uses it, they are more likely to injure themselves. Just a theory though, I don't even know if the 'fact' is true :)

I actually heard this fact from an english professor last year. lol
Television, telephone, vhs, Peter Pan, pedal bikes, postage stamps, radar, MRI, ultrasound, beta blockers, insulin medicine, refrigerator, toilets that flush, modern lawnmower, the ghillie suit, the bank of ENGLAND (created by a Scotsman) finger printing, tarmac, tyres and penicillin were invented either in Scotland or by Scottish people, :)
In reference to the Telephone...was Alex Bell scottish?

Errr, okay Banshee. Um, I'm left handed. I can promise you I don't injure myself bad enough for it to be fatal. Most "tools" aren't even made to be strictly right handed. So, I highly doubt your fact is true. Miiight wanna double check your sources :)

Would you be saying the same thing if you were 90 years old? The research for this theory did not include young people, the experiments were aimed at people age 65 or over. Perhaps you should read up on this before telling me to double check my sources.
What is your evidence for doubting this? Your own experiences do not necessarily represent the experiences of other left-handed people.
