Did you know?

Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.

Every day 200 million couples make love, 400,000 babies are born, and 140,000 people die. Human hair and fingernails continue to grow after death.

In most watch advertisements the time displayed on the watch is 10:10 because then the arms frame the brand of the watch (and make it look like it is smiling).

Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is actually the sound of nitrogen gas bubbles bursting.

The average person who stops smoking requires one hour less sleep a night.

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.

The color blue has a calming effect. It causes the brain to release calming hormones.

Every time you sneeze some of your brain cells die.

It takes about 20 seconds for a red blood cell to circle the whole body.

The only part of the body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air.

Colgate faced big obstacle marketing toothpaste in Spanish speaking countries. Colgate translates into the command "go hang yourself."

Do you know the names of the three wise monkeys? They are:Mizaru(See no evil), Mikazaru(Hear no evil), and Iwazaru(Speak no evil).

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.

The human heart creates enough pressure while pumping to squirt blood 30 feet!! (That's why I love KILL BILL)

The Titanic was the first ship to use the SOS signal. It cost 7 million dollars to build the Titanic and 200 million to make a film about it.
