9. On any given day, sexual intercourse takes place over 120 million times on earth. Humans are a quickly proliferating species, and with about 4% of the world’s population having sex on any given day, it’s no wonder that birth rates continue to increase in many places all over the world.
This particular one is dope..... I look forward to joining the ecstatic 120 million today grin

21. The Self Appendectomy.


It happened during 6th Soviet Antarctic Expedition at Novolazarevskaya Station. The patient "Leonid Rogozov" was the only physician on station, so the assistant was a mechanic. It was on April 30, 1961. The operation took 2 hours. He positioned himself so that he could see his own body using a mirror when doing the surgery, he made a 12 cm cut through which he found and removed the appendix. After 5 days the doctor felt good, and after 7 days he removed the wires which had been used to sew up the body.

6. The largest internal organ is the small intestine.

Despite being called the smaller of the two intestines, your small intestine is actually four times as long as the average adult is tall. If it weren’t looped back and forth upon itself it wouldn’t fit inside the abdominal cavity.
Are you sure about this info?
Where do you place the liver in your ranking

You could remove a large part of your internal organs and survive.The human body may appear fragile but it’s possible to survive even with the removal of the stomach, the spleen, 75 percent of the liver, 80 percent of the intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organfrom the pelvic and groin area. You might not feel too great, but the missing organs wouldn’t kill you.

this is very true.. I learnt the liver can grow back to normal size after some time when even 80% of it is removed..

Or any other encyclopedia for that matter. Scientists have yet to settle on adefinitive amount, but the storage capacity of the brain in electronic terms is thought to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. The National Archives of Britain, containing over 900 years of history, only takes up 70 terabytes, making your brain’s memory power pretty darn impressive.

hahaha.
This is funny. But, actually, your brain never forgets anything. Everything you have ever thought about or seen or heard or smelled are still in your brain. You just don't remember it because . . . it doesn't matter. cheesy

Number 14....it's not possible to tickle yourself,

I wish it were possible for the human brain to adopt the same feedback mechanism when it comes to masturbation, such that whatever amount of stroking you apply to your genitals, it won't respond simply because you are the one doing it

15. 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.
This is a caucasian phenomenon and does not apply to africans. It was established almost a century before the trans atlantic slave trade and has not gotten corrected because western nations have a caucasian, mostly racist majority.

It is not uncommon to find africans standing at 5'9 with a 6'0 wingspan meanwhile with caucasians it only happens to those mixed with african genes.

5. .Fingernails grow nearly 4 times faster than toe nails. If you notice that you’re trimming your fingernails much more frequently than your toenails you’re not just imagining it. The nails that get the most exposure and are used most frequently grow the fastest. On average, nails on both the toes and fingers grow about one-tenth of an inch each month.
Ur very correct my brother. I noticed that. God is wonderful.

7. Women’s hearts beat faster than men’s.The main reason for this is simply that on average women tend to be smaller than men and have less mass to pump blood to. But women’s and men’s hearts can actually act quite differently, especially when experiencing trauma like a heart attack, and many treatments that work for men must be adjusted or changed entirely to work for women. Additionally, over a lifetime, at your normal (resting) heart rate you will have pumped enough blood to fill thirteen oil super tankers. To further expound on this fact, on average, your heart beats 40,000,000 times per year. Doing the math, over your lifetime (both men and women averaged), that results in 2,600,000,000 heartbeats (two billion, six hundred million). This does not even factor in your increased heartbeats due to your love of exercise or fear.


* The human heart creates enough pressure to squirt blood 30 feet. No wonder you can feel your heartbeat so easily. Pumping blood through your body quickly and efficiently takes quite a bit of pressure resulting inthe strong contractions of the heart and the thick walls of the ventricles which push blood to the body.


* Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest. Yet another reason to loathe Mondays! A ten year studying 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.


* The most common blood type in the world is Type O. Blood banks find it valuable as it can be given to those with both type A and B blood. The rarest blood type, A-H or Bombay blood due to the location of its discovery, has been found in less than hundred people since it was discovered.
what of d fat women or d obase ones? Do their heart beat faster than a normal man?

17. Dimples are caused by an abnormally short facial muscle.

The zygomaticus major, a facial muscle, is attached to the skin of your cheeks. Dimples appear when the muscle pulls hard enough on your cheeks to cause visible indentations on your face. This usually occurs when we speak or smile, when the muscle is contracting. For some people, the dimples are always there. This occurs when the muscle is too short.This is a condition that is extremely common among children. As they get older the dimples usually begin to disappear.


Lol. Wow!!!! So ma dimples is a beautiful defect.

Thanks for sharing it out, Op.
