Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 28, 2012

Despite their cuteness, humingbirds are meaner than hell.

A human brain consumes more energy than the equivalent mass in leg muscle running a distance race.

About every two weeks, another human language becomes extinct.

Wow, I didn’t know any of that! : )

Brain consumes 20%, bird muscles make up 20%… Coincidence? I think not: some day we will grow hummingbird muscles in vast matrix-like warehouses to feed our mighty brains!

Found a Hummingbird caught in a cobweb. Had worse time cleaning it up. Finally freed it, and then my wife left me.

I wonder what percent humans use in arm/chest muscles to lift items?

Now I know why I am so tired all of the time.

For those interested in languages with few speakers left;http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/enduring-voices/

@roscoedog55,Perhaps your wife should have been caught in the cobweb! :o)

If 20 percent of the energy produced by the human body is used in the brain, then the more total energy produced by the body, the more energy is available to the brain to use.“A mind is a terrible thing to waste!” …or better said, To waste a mind is a terrible thing! or:It’s a terrible thing to waste a mind!

I think there is a 75 year old man talking to himself!!!

Gyani Maiya Sen just made it up.

About 40% of BION is BS.
