Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks otherwise it will digest itself.

The average person will spend 2 weeks over their lifetime waiting for the traffic light to change.

The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.

A person uses approximately fifty-seven sheets of toilet paper each day

Cockroaches can live for 9 days after their head has been cut off. =)

... whoever took the time to find that out must have lived a very sad life... and I apologize if that person is on this forum and happens to read this....

The 2003 version of 'You spin me round' contains a small (uncredited) sample from Madonna's "Die Another Day" (the "uuh" vocal, right before the second verse kicks in).
You spin me round

The human body is constantly renewing itself, some places more/faster than others so in 10-15 years time you will have a completely different body to the one you have now

Another one- the myth about the amount of spiders you eat in a lifetime is just that, a myth. It was made up by some radio DJ so see how gullible the British public are- and its worked!

n 2003, a North Carolina State University study of over 15,000 women found that women who performed the act of fellatio and swallowed semen on a regular basis - one to two times a week - reduced their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent. No benefit was found for those who did not participate regularly.

In addition to reducing risk of breast cancer, semen was shown to reduce the length and severity of common colds, soothes a sore throat, and even manage depression!

Urine is in cosmetics, an ingredient called urea which is an excellent moisturizer.

According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction.

Cats sleep 16 to 18 hours per day.

The most common name in the world is Mohammed.

The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C.

The first product to have a bar code was Wrigleys gum.

The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69. From 1725-1765, a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets.
