      Sorry, I got another meaning of that statement that every left or right-handed person can chew on both sides but the most of time prefer chewing on left or right side respectively.
      However it's difficult to check cause not many people think about on what side of mouth they chew!

      That's kind of what it means. Right-handed people chew mostly on the right side of their mouth and vice-versa!!

      In U.S.S.R. most of born left-handed people were taught again to write with a right-handed. What about such people?

      Only pity for me it's the statement left-handed people are very talented is myth.

      Language learning efficiency, dreams and REM sleep.
      De Koninck J, Christ G, Hebert G, Rinfret N.
      School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

      As a follow-up from a previous study, four subjects taking a 6-week French language immersion program maintained a dream diary starting 2 weeks before until 2 weeks after the course. They also slept in the laboratory during four series of nights: one before the course, two during the course and one after the course. Confirming previous observations, it was observed that those subjects who made significant progress in French learning, experienced French incorporations into dreams earlier and had more verbal communication in their dreams during the language training than those who made little progress. Combining these results with those of the earlier study revealed significant positive correlations between language learning efficiency and both increases in REM sleep percentages, and verbal communication in dreams, as well as a negative correlation with latency to the first French incorporation in dreams. These results support the notion that REM sleep and dreaming are related to waking cognitive processes.

      Didn't know that British flag was not called the union jack but the union flag, unless it was flown on the jack staff of his or her Majesty's ship of war. Then being called the union jack.

      If  you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced  enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. 
      (Hardly  seems worth it.)


      If  you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is  produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. 
      (Now  that's more like it!)


      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 fi eld.
      (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??)
