Cool Facts.........

[DianaB]

The human body is a machine that is full of wonder. This
collection of human body facts will leave you wondering
why we were designed the way we were.


1.. Scientists say the higher your I.Q. the more you dream.

2.. The largest cell in the human body is the female egg.

3.. The smallest is the male sperm.

4.. You use 200 muscles to take one step.

5. The average woman is 5 inches shorter than the average man.

6.. Your big toes have two bones each while the rest have three.

7.. A pair of human feet contain 250,000 sweat glands.

8.. A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball.

9.. The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razor blades.

10.. The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica.

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

12.. The average human dream lasts 2-3 seconds.

13.. Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair.

14.. After the moment of conception, you spent about half an hour as a single cell.

15.. There is about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet. ( I wonder how long it took to count all of them?)

16.. Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil.

17.. The enamel in your teeth is the hardest substance in your body.

18.. Your teeth start developing (in your gums) 6 months before you are born.

19.. When you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate, they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate.

20.. Blondes have more hair than dark-haired people.

21.. Your thumb is the same length as your nose.

22.. At this very moment I know full well you are putting this last fact to the test ... now remove your thumb from your nose and pass this on to the friends you think might be interested in comparing their thumbs to their noses as well.

You did it -- I KNOW you did !!!!!

Wow that's some research. I can't imagine. My IQ must be way up there because I dream every night. As for the nose and thump thing. I'm special.
My thumb is longer than my nose. LOL.
Thanks for that Diana. I'll have to share that with my other non 4women friends.

Diana...those were really interesting, but I do have to admit that I did number 21 and then read number 22. Oh and my thumb is longer than my nose too, so now I wonder how many of those facts are true...lol

Interesting....... Though if number 1 is true, I must be really stupid, because I either don't remember hardly any of my dreams, or I don't dream, because I remember that I've dreamed maybe once or twice a year, if that often.

The nose/thumb relationship thing is thought provoking. My MIL had little stubby thumbs (the end bone with the nail was very short), and she had a small nose that had a very slight upward tilt on the tip. She was really a pretty woman, but her thumbs especially were unusual. I was so glad that neither of our daughters inherited them.

I took it that to measure your nose against your thumb that you started at the bridge of your nose. That would be the length, right? Mine is about the same if you measure it that way.

So is mine, Diana, but then, I do have a rather long nose.

The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
So that's why mine stopped working! It's full. There is just no more room.


It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.
And one nanosecond to get from the plate to my mouth.


After the moment of conception, you spent about half an hour as a single cell.
I wonder if it's fun to be a single cell. I think I'd like to see how it feels. In you think I've lost it, see the first fact on this post.

1.. Scientists say the higher your I.Q. the more you dream.

I dream all the time when I'm asleep! I must have a really high IQ!!!!! Cool!!!!

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

Even faster than that is how fast it goes from my stomach to my hips!!!!!
