While sitting at your desk make
clockwise circles with your right foot.
(go ahead no one will see you) While
doing this, draw the number “6″ in
the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction – that is a fact. Pretty interesting, huh? Keep
on reading.. 1. People with higher number of
moles tend to live longer than people
with lesser number of moles. 3. When filming summer scenes in
winter, actors suck on ice cubes just
before the camera rolls - it cools their
mouths so their breath doesn’t
condense in the cold air. 4. Thinking about your muscles can
make you stronger. 5. Grapefruit scent will make middle
aged women appear six years
younger to men. The perception is
not reciprocal and the grapefruit
scent on men has no effect on
women’s perception. 6. The world’s youngest parents
were 8 and 9 and lived in China in
1910. 7. The colder the room you sleep in,
the better the chances are that you’ll
have a bad dream. 8. There are more people alive today
than have ever died. 9. Women’s hair is about half the
diameter of men’s hair 10. Women blink twice as many times
as men do. 11. The average person who stops
smoking requires one hour less
sleep a night. 12. Laughing lowers levels of stress
hormones and strengthens the
immune system. Six-year-olds laugh
an average of 300 times a day.
Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a
day. 13. Intelligent people have more zinc
and copper in their hair. 14. The human heart creates enough
pressure while pumping to squirt
blood 30 feet! 15. The brain operates on the same
amount of power as 10-watt light
bulb. The cartoon image of a light
bulb over your head when a great
thought occurs isn’t too far off the
mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even
when you’re sleeping. 16. The brain is much more active at
night than during the day. 17. The brain itself cannot feel pain.
While the brain might be the pain
center when you cut your finger or
burn yourself, the brain itself does
not have pain receptors and cannot
feel pain. 18. The fastest growing nail is on the
middle finger. And the nail on the
middle finger of your dominant hand
will grow the fastest of all. Why is not
entirely known, but nail growth is
related to the length of the finger, with the longest fingers growing
nails the fastest and shortest the
slowest. 19. The lifespan of a human hair is 3
to 7 years on average. 20. Human hair is virtually
indestructible. Aside from it’s
flammability, human hair decays at
such a slow rate that it is practically
non-disintegrative. Hair cannot be
destroyed by cold, change of climate, water, or other natural forces and it is
resistant to many kinds of acids and
corrosive chemicals. 21. The acid in your stomach is
strong enough to dissolve
razorblades. Hydrochloric acid, the
type found in your stomach, is not
only good at dissolving the pizza you
had for dinner but can also eat through many types of metal. 22. The surface area of a human lung
is equal to a tennis court. 23. Sneezes regularly exceed 100
mph. 24. Approximately 75% of human
waste is made of water. 25. The average person expels
flatulence 14 times each day. Even if
you’d like to think you’re too
dignified to pass gas, the reality is
that almost everyone will at least a
few times a day. 26. Earwax production is necessary
for good ear health. While many
people find earwax to be disgusting,
it’s actually a very important part of
your ear’s defense system. It protects
the delicate inner ear from bacteria, fungus, dirt and even insects. It also
cleans and lubricates the ear canal. 27. Babies are always born with blue
eyes. The melanin in a newborn’s
eyes often needs time after birth to
be fully deposited or to be darkened
by exposure to ultraviolet light, later
revealing the baby’s true eye color. 28. Every human spent about half an
hour as a single cell. 29. After eating too much, your
hearing is less sharp. 30. Women are born better smellers
than men and remain better smellers
over life. 31. Your nose can remember 50,000
different scents. 32. Nails and hair do not continue to
grow after we die. They do appear
longer when we die, however, as the
skin dehydrates and pulls back from
the nail beds and scalp. 33. By the age of 60, most people will
have lost about half their taste buds.
Perhaps you shouldn’t trust your
grandma’s cooking as much as you
do. 34. Your eyes are always the same
size from birth but your nose and
ears never stop growing. 35. By 60 years of age, 60-percent of
men and 40-percent of women will
snore. 36. Monday is the day of the week
when the risk of heart attack is
greatest. A ten year study in Scotland
found that 20% more people die of
heart attacks on Mondays than any
other day of the week. Researchers theorize that it’s a combination of too
much fun over the weekend with the
stress of going back to work that
causes the increase. 37. Provided there is water, the
average human could survive a
month to two months without food
depending on their body fat and
other factors. 38. Over 90% of diseases are caused
or complicated by stress. 39. A human head remains
conscious for about 15 to 20
seconds after it is been decapitated.
While it might be gross to think
about, the blood in the head may be
enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the
head has been separated from the
body, though reports as to the
accuracy of this are widely varying. 40. Babies are born with 300 bones,
but by adulthood the number is
reduced to 206. 41. We are about 1 cm taller in the
morning than in the evening. 42. It takes twice as long to lose new
muscle if you stop working out than
it did to gain it. Lazy people out there
shouldn’t use this as motivation to
not work out, however. It’s relatively
easy to build new muscle tissue and get your muscles in shape, so if
anything, this fact should be
motivation to get off the couch and
get moving. 43. Tears and mucus contain an
enzyme (lysozyme) that breaks
down the cell wall of many bacteria. 44. It is not possible to tickle
yourself. Even the most ticklish
among us do not have the ability to
tickle ourselves. 45. The width of your armspan
stretched out is the length of your
whole body. While not exact down
to the last millimeter, your armspan is
a pretty good estimator of your
height. 46. Humans are the only animals to
produce emotional tears. 47. Women burn fat more slowly
than men, by a rate of about 50
calories a day. Most men have a much
easier time burning fat than women.
Women, because of their
reproductive role, generally require a higher basic body fat proportion
than men, and as a result their bodies
don’t get rid of excess fat at the same
rate as men. 48. Koalas and primates are the only
animals with unique fingerprints.
Humans, apes and koalas are unique
in the animal kingdom due to the tiny
prints on the fingers of their hands. 49. One human hair can support 3.5
ounces. That’s about the weight of
two full size candy bars, and with
hundreds of thousands of hairs on
the human head, makes the tale of
Rapunzel much more plausible. 50. Cna yuo raed tihs? I cdnuolt
