Hello QOTDers drunk on Friday's Valentine's Day Love and the rest of us. Ready for 5 useless facts? 1) Here's one that's not so useless: To escape the grip of a crocodile's jaws, push your thumbs into its eyeballs - it will let you go instantly. (There was no mention if this also works with alligators so try it at your own risk.) 2) While we're talking about escaping crocodiles: Crocodiles and alligators are surprisingly fast on land. Although they are rapid, they are not agile. So, if being chased by one, run in a zigzag line to lose him or her. Okay, then. 3) A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. 4) In the "And you thought it was all about the heat" category: It is illegal to hunt camels in the state of Arizona. 5) And in the we wonder if the government paid for this research category: A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continually from the bottom of the glass to the top.
Let us begin.

It's still around but barely a fraction of what it used to be.
