Not really. That's a myth based on the idea that CO2 concentrations cause you to breathe more heavily; therefore no CO2 will cause you to stop breathing. (One reason that heavy breathing before a deep dive can help you hold your breath longer - it purges CO2.) However, if that does happen, you have backup O2 sensors in your carotids that do sense oxygen - these will cause you to breathe eventually even if there's no CO2 in your blood.

Of course, that never happens anyway. Since we generate CO2 all the time, there's always CO2 in our blood and lungs. So even if you're on 100% oxygen (which pilots often are) you produce enough CO2.

yes but CO2 is used in the body to regulate blood chemistry... it forms Carbonic Acid, H2CO3, which forms a buffered solution in your blood, and keeps your blood at the proper pH. If your blood pH is too far off from its normal level, 7.4, you will die.

a really good link about this, which explains all about blood chemistry and CO2, is http://wunmr.wustl.edu/EduDev/LabTutorials/Buffer/Buffer.html

The natural resonance of a chicken's skull is 7Hz.

This was discovered when a factory went up (either in Australia or New Zeeland I think) near a chicken farm and chickens started dieing at an unusual rate. Turned out that the factory was emitting a constant hum of 7Hz which would rattle the chicken skulls and kill them.

Gleaned from the help files of Borland's Turbo C++ 3.0 referencing a sound() function.

I have no idea who would want them, but every .com domain name from 1 to 63 characters long, consisting entirely of the letter "a", has been registered.

Animal Kingdom: (I know we've seen some of these before...)

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

A snail can sleep for three years.

A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.

Polar bears are left-handed (left-clawed?)

Polar bears have black skin and clear fur.

There's more, but I gotta go.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Sorta shoots that "all men are pigs" theory all to hell, doesn't it?

I could possibly be a dolphin, a snail or a polar bear.

Something i would like to know...

How can nose hairs stand up on their own ?

"Mucophagy" is the medical term for "snot-eating," the consumption of the nasal mucus obtained from nose-picking.

Some good booger trivia.

I haven't tried getting the nose hairs to stand up by themselves. However, I had a devil of a time getting my mustache to come in very thickly, so I took an alternate approach. I let my nose hairs get very long and then used bear fat to style them into place. It looks like a handlebar mustache now.

Ladies love the stylishly coifed man.
