weird scientific facts

In the human body, if you were to completely stretch out your capillaries, they would span the earth 2.5 times.

Um the smallest bone in our body is located in our ear.

(this counts right?)

Capillaries don't stretch... :omarkop2003

The universe is expanding. Wierd, huh? :D

if you were to line up all the dna in your body it would wrap around the sun and earth 4 times!

I love these threads!!

A cloud to ground bolt of lightning carries between 100 million and 1 billion volts. It can reach 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit - 3-4 times hotter than the surface of the sun!

Most Of Your Body's Cells Aren't Yours

"Salt of the Earth" Is More Than A Title

The density of the planet Saturn is lower than water, so if you could put it in the ocean it would float

10% of all the humans who have ever lived are alive in the world right now.

A solar panel array covering an area of 100 by 100 miles in the US Mojave Desert would produce enough electricity to replace all the coal fired power plants in America.

When Krakatoa erupted in 1883, its force was so great it could be heard 4,800 kilometers away in Australia.

Even traveling at the speed of light it would take 2 million years to reach the nearest large galaxy, Andromeda.

There are more living organisms on the skin of each human than there are humans on the surface of the earth.

Some species of bamboo grow at a rate of 3ft per day.

tongue prints are just as uniquely identifiable as finger prints.

A solar panel array covering an area of 100 by 100 miles in the US Mojave Desert would produce enough electricity to replace all the coal fired power plants in America.-See this could solve our energy problems

There are more living organisms on the skin of each human than there are humans on the surface of the earth.-ewww. now i feel all dirty

- Fingernails grow four times faster than toenails

- A fetus develops a fingerprint in only 18 weeks

- In America, over half a billion dollars is spent on chewing gum every year

- the sun is 330,300 times larger than earth

Those are hippy pickles then. I refuse to accept them into the pickle community just as the Planet Definition Committee has refused to let Pluto be part of their club.

If a baby born by modern humans grows up in a fully primitive environment akin to cave-men environment it would have the same mental capabilities as cave-men, and vice versa (saw it in a documentary).

Um and I could say that water is liquified air. Water is "used" more often when you desribe the cycle because its in the middle (although there are direct transitions from solid to air etc).Teenaged

The moment you touch ice moisture will accumulate on your skin and the same with steam. So it is still wet to the touch :P
