Default Did you know.....

The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm.

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

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

One human hair can support 3kg.

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

The attachment of human muscles to skin is what causes dimples.

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

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

If the average male never shaved, his beard would be 13 feet long when he died.

Men with hairless chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair

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

Side by side, 20,000 cells from the human body could cover About one inch.

Women blink twice as much as men.

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

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

It takes twice as long to lose new muscle if you stop working out than it did to gain it.

You're ears secrete more earwax when you are afraid than when you aren't.

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

If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

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

You checked out the length of your thumb .. Didn't you??

I didn't check out my thumb, but I did go and check Dave's.

He has some of the biggest hands I've seen. And I guess he doesn't have to worry about cirrhosis of the liver either!
