    Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell.

    Every year about 98% of atoms in your body are replaced.

    Sound travels 15 times faster through steel than through the air.

    Time slows down near a black hole; inside it stops completely.

    Rain contains vitamin B12.

    A full moon always rises at sunset.

    The opposite of a "vacuum" is a "plenum."

    SNAIL SEX

    Most snails are hermaphroditic, having both male and female sex organs. This dual set of genitals is located right behind the head on the snail. When two snails meet, the encounter begins with caresses and kisses. Yes, snails do have lips. Soon, the snails' genitals become swollen, and before long the two snails are engaging in what one article called "lip-genital atrium behavior". Honest, I'm not making this stuff up. So far it sounds pretty romantic and gentle, eh? Well..now things get rough. A half hour or so after initial contact the two snails push against each other and each releases a "love dart", a centimeter long hollow calcareous lancehead with four blades into the body of the other. The snails shoot for the tender flesh right behind the genitals, but their aim isn't always perfect. The sex continues with each snail injecting sperm into the other.

    The human heart creates enough pressure to squirt blood 30 feet.

    American car horns beep in the tone of F.

    The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear. Any cup-shaped object placed over the ear produces the same effect.

    Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself. (YUCK!)

    Sixty B - Commander Topcoat

    When you are exercising, and your legs become all itchy and agitated - this is due to a build up of lactic acid in the muscle. The lactic acid is produced because the body is not used to the aerobic exercise and the body is not getting enough oxygen. In order to make your body healthier, exercise more often and these sensations will subside.
