some very interesting facts about the human body.

It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

One human hair can support 3kg (6.6 lb).

The average man's penis is three times the length of his thumb.

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.

There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.

Women blink twice as often as men.

The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.

Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

Women reading this will be finished now.

Men are still busy checking their thumbs.

We're not born with knee caps, they grow by 4-6 yo IIRC.

Ok, how many of you guys did not check your thumb? Better yet, How many of you check after reading line 3 and did not go on? I did. The rest of that crap did not matter. this is pretty funny, I am still laughing.

They are there, they are just cartilage

The bit about the bacteria on the feet is wrong too. If you wear open shoes, the number would be FAR less. Warm dark and moist(inside of a shoe) is a great place to grow stuff. When I took microbiology in podiatry school, I commuted by bike, and switched to flip flops and shorts when I got there. We did an experiment where we took a swab of people's feet to see what would grow out. Everybody was sure I would have all sorts of funky stuff, because of the no shoes thing. Well, everyone but the prof. Did not grow anything at all off mine, only no growth test.

Half the bones in your body are in your hands and feet.

What, you don't think it is funny that half the bones in your body are in your hands and feet.

Kids are born with mostly cartilage, not bone.

If you're right handed most of your nose breathing is with your left nostril but switches to right when you're sick with a cold and the opposite for leftys...

So that's why my right nostril is stretched more than the left?
