Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910. Our eyes remain the same size from birth onward, but our noses and ears never stop growing. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching TV. A person will die from total lack of sleep sooner than from starvation. Death will occur about 10 days without sleep, while starvation takes a few weeks. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. When the moon is directly overhead, you weigh slightly less. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, never telephoned his wife or mother because they were both deaf. A psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to a carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his reactions. After weeks of needling, he snapped and beat her repeatedly with an axe leaving her mentally retarded "I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. Colgate faced big obstacle marketing toothpaste in Spanish speaking countries because Colgate translates into the command "go hang yourself." The smallest unit of time is the yoctosecond. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different. "Bookkeeper" is the only word in English language with three consecutive double letters. Right handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left handed people do. The sentence "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the english language. If the population of China walked past you in single line, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction China has more English speakers than the United States. Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell. Each square inch of human skin consists of twenty feet of blood vessels. An average person uses the bathroom 6 times per day. Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have only 206 in our bodies. Beards are the fastest growing hairs on the human body.
