1) So does the urine of many other species.
2) Chickens are smaller than humans; how many chickens do You eat every year? How about during your lifetime? Not too surprising there has to be many of them.
3) Yes, there are many Chinese people. And after all, not so many US citizens. And many Chinese seem to be learning English..
4) Now that is a hilarious one; someone making these laws must have seen the promotion of blood donations really important.
5) That's not a fact but an urban legend, you can read more from http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/finland.htm . Actually Finland has far less strict censorship when it comes to nudity and rude language... It always makes me laugh when I watch MTV and all those middle fingers blurred out and hear those ridiculous silent gaps in the middle of the lyrics (I'm a Finn) ;)
6) Yes, there still are many Chinese in the world. If all now alive Chinese would walk past you at the rate of one people per second (I guess they would be running then), it would still take them more than 30 years to pass. Big numbers (and on the other hand also the really small numbers) are hard to comprehend, but I don't really see the funny point there... True, they can be quite amazing, but maybe I just deal with them too much every day
7) Cockroaches will inherit the Earth when mankind fades away.
8) Yeah, animal kingdom sure is magnificent. Humans don't rate too high in any physical standard when we compare to all other animals.
9) Now that's a funny number that 9 million. If we presume there are about 6 billion people on earth and we don't consider the leap day, then statistically there should be about 16,5 million people born in every day of a standard Gregorian calendar. If we consider the leap day, there should (statistically) be a little over 4 million people born on February 29th. So I don't get it where this number 9 million comes from... Maybe if we start to take into account the different calenders used worldwide, eh?
10) Now that is hilarious if someone has really measured that one...
11) I think more surprising is that the youngest mother on record was 5 years old... http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp
12) I wonder if the snail is sleeping or dormant... Anyways, I've heard some frogs skip years too. Funny or just amazing, dunno.
13) Nice that they decided to stop it fast.
14) And some freaks do it even nowadays.
15) More funny is watching a giraffe pick its nose with the tongue.
So I would say some of the topics are funny (Paraguay dueling law for example), but I wouldn't go around claiming things to be "facts" if you just pasted them from some joke site (even if they were claimed to be facts there). Not my purpose to put you down or anything, have a nice day :)

As far as the first one. My husband is a Custodial Supervisor they use black lights to check the bathrooms to make sure that the urine is cleaned up properly. I didn't know any of these facts. I gave you a thumbs up.
