If you're talking about sneezing, it doesn't matter. You eyes don't pop out.

 

For one, there are muscles holding them in place...

 

Two, your actual eyeballs are bigger than the orbits (your eye sockets) that they lie in....

 

Three.... Where's the pressure coming from? There are no sinus cavities IN your eye socket, and there's no air passage, either, unless you count tear ducts/drianage ducts.. But even then, those aren't in the right place--they'd have to be behind your eyes...

 

Soooo, sorry to be a fun-sucker yet again...

Uhm. This is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY impossible.

 

First off, your urine is sterile, so there's no way anything of THAT SIZE could get in there and survive... Bacteria, maybe, hence a UTI, butttt other than that...

 

Second, uric acid in urine is, well, acidic. Again, things would die.

 

Thirdly, there's no possible way that it could get into your bladder anyway--the nephrons (part of your kidneys that filter blood) don't even let red blood cells through--only water and minerals..

 

Fourthly, if they were swallowed anyway, the stomach acid would have killed them right away.

 

Fifthly, it's in a bladder. If they hatched, there's nothing for them to survive on.. Soooo uh. Yeah.

 

Sixthlyyyyyyy... Gross as it is... They'd drown. Bugs need air, too.

 

I could go on, but I think you get the point.

 

So yeah... Really really not possible... Ever. lol...

Honestly, I feel like I'm killing it for everyone, but I guess I'd rather kill the fun than have people running around spouting out these random false "facts" hahaha...

 

And you're from Iowa, you should know better ;)

 

We're the smart kids--look at our quarter ;)

 

PS:

right handed ppl live on average nine years longer than left handed ppl do

 

Lol, we learned that in psych, I don't know the exact amount, but I know it's longer.. And my teacher and I are both lefties so we were like "noooooo" hahaha....
