Sarah Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Thought i'd start a thread on different Facts that people know, or find on the web, never know, we may learn quite a bit! I'll start off... During warm weather hippopotamus's secrete sweat that is pink. This substance not only cools them down but also helps fight infections of the skin.

Mistyrayn Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach. One human hair can support 3 kg. 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. Despite blinking twice as often, women reading this will be finished now. The men are still busy checking their thumbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
