    The entire internet weighs about the same as one large strawberry.

    The words written on Twitter every day would fill a book of 10 million pages.

    Mosquitoes have killed more humans than all the wars in history combined.

    Humans share 50% of our DNA with a banana.

    There are more living organisms in a teaspoonful of soil than there are people alive on Earth.

    Aircraft engines suck in 1.25 tons of air per second on take-off – that’s about the volume of a squash court.

    Going to work is statistically three times more dangerous than war.

    The most money ever paid for a cow in an auction was $1.3 million.

    If all arteries, veins and capillaries of the human circulatory system were laid end to end, the total length would be 60,000 miles, or 100,000 km. That's nearly two and a half times around the Earth.

    Brand perhaps, but that's ALL it's beers. It seems they wouldn't reveal the sales of the biggest individual seller (Bud Lite) when challenged re Snow.

    Technicalities....that's just because Snow called all their different types of beer Snow, whereas Budweiser call them Budweiser, Bud Light etc.

    Budweiser(under it's various Budweiser brands) sells 60% more beer than Snow's various beers.

    Snow's also ****.

    Blue Girl is better and they have dolly birds in leather biker suits giving it out in bars.

    I was about to ask if Snow is a good beer or not, as I've never even heard of it.

    But when I clicked reply with quote your edit was already there.

    That one's not even close.

    They can only guess at the amount of people who've ever lived, but it's estimated to be about 57 billion, so only about 10% of the all time population are alive now.

    Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

    EDIT/ I'm sure ladies who have experienced Maurice can contribute towards the truth of that fact.
