Not in any order

A galactic year is 250 million Earth-years. This is the time it takes for our solar system to make one revolution around the Milky Way Galaxy.

Every day, the Hubble telescope transmits enough data to fit 10,000 standard computer disks.

The Hubble telescope is so powerful that it is like pointing a beam of light at a dime that is two hundred miles away.

In only eight minutes, the Space Shuttle can accelerate to a speed of 27,000 kilometres per hour.

When the Galileo Probe entered Jupiter's atmosphere, it was traveling at a speed of 106,000 miles per hour. This is the fastest impact speed ever achieved by a man-made object.

But why the elbow? It's like saying it's impossible to lick your own arse.

I just don't see why the elbow is picked out to be the part of the body you can't lick. Hardly surprising.

maybe its cause its the nearest body part that you think you might be able to lick?

im suprised you didn't sign it off with "most people that read this try it"

What exactly does it mean by a standard computer disk? 1.4 floppy?

Dunno just googled "Facts" ..lol

Maxim was one dumb enough to post the elbow thing and be high and mighty about their "fact", until people sent photos in of themselves doing it. I don't know why that is still going around.

Don't telescopes receive, not transmit? :confused:

The HST generates about 10GB of data a day, so yeah it means floppy disks.

I have seen people do it.

If the elbow is a joint then both sides are still the elbow, and anyone can lick the inner side.
