It actually refers to someone who isn't photogenic from the front so "would look better pictured from behind" comes from the Phillipino "Likod" meaning "Back parts"

A single sperm has 37.5MB of DNA information in it. That means that a normal ejaculation represents a data transfer of 1,587.5TB.

The elbow fact should read that you cannot lick the outside of your elbow whilst it is still attached to your body.
