16. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.This doesn’t have a genetic basis, but is largely due to the fact that a majority of the machines and tools we use on a daily basis are designed for those who are right handed, making them some what dangerous for lefties to use and resulting in thousands of accidents and deaths each year.

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.

This Is hmmmm true coz I lost my Dad on a monday, died of heart attack.

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.

Liver - largest internal organ
small intestine - longest internal organ
skin - longest organ in general
skin - largest organ in general

Op,the largest internal organ is the liver.

Very educative...talk actives don't have much to say cause they can't find a way to snick in insults!

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.

My dimples still stands strong o.I refuse to acknowledge this beautiful indentions on both sides of my face is abnormal.
