I think i get it.... you gotta think about things for a bit like: "96. The average web page contains 500 ballpoint pens." means im guessing that if the aveage web page was written out on paper thats how many pens youd need. I still dont get alot of them though.

24. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat a star. (Thats cool)
25. If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of Superman. (obiously fake)
32. Cats' credit cards glow under a blacklight. (I know cats urine does, still dont get it)
33. Lobsters have life-size blood. (the blood cells are our size?)
I got about this far when i realised it was more of an ad-lib to a fact sheet, like someone took out and replaces key parts of speech.
