Nothing to do with Christmas
December 21, 2007I’m about to go harry-carry on Christmas…it’s time to wrap, bake, go to Wal-mart ONE LAST TIME, and count the days till Christmas.
So until after Christmas (maybe) I want to leave you with something that has ab-so-lut-ely nothing to do with Christmas…
Did you know?…
1. Scientists say the higher your I.Q., the more you dream.
2. The largest cell in the human body is the female egg.
3. The smallest is the male sperm. (big things come from little packages…hee, hee)
4. You use 200 muscles to take one step.
5. The average woman is 5 inches shorter than the average man.
6. Your big toes have two bones each while the rest have three. (just another bone to break if you ask me!)
7. A pair of human feet contains 250,000 sweat glands. (except for me because I’m a lady.. 🙂 )
8. A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball. (and if you’ve had kids then you really don’t care because you just need to find a friggin’ toilet!)
9. The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razor blades. (I’m assuming there’s no correlation to the acid you eat, lick or pop?)
10. The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. (Unless you’re eating, licking or popping acid….again)
11. It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.
12. The average human dream lasts 2-3 seconds.
13. Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair. (true meaning of Hair of the Dog??)
14. At the moment of conception, you spent about half an hour as a single cell.
15. There is about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet. (please note previous comment about being a lady)
16. Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil. (Meeooowww…..hubba!)
17. The enamel in your teeth is the hardest substance in your body. (I’ve got a few kidney stones that beg to differ!)
18. Your teeth start growing 6 months before you are born.
19. Then you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate, and they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate.
20. Your thumb is the same length of your nose. (You’re checking this out right now, aren’t you?)
See, now you’ll have something to talk about around the dinner table this Christmas. I’m sure everyone will want in on the whole smallest and largest cell debate!
Merry Christmas. ya’ll!!!
Footnote to #11:
If it’s a piece of deer meat and it gets lodged half way down it will take approximately 8 hours to get to the stomach. This includes time in the urgent care office next to the old man who is hard of hearing and has had “the runs” for 5 days followed by scooting over to the ER to have a camera stuffed down your throat, a quick photo snapped of the “foreign object” (that’s the medical term for deer meat lodged in your esophagus) before gently nudging in downward.
The Moral: CHEW YOUR FOOD WELL, BEFORE SWALLOWING!

by Stacey December 22, 2007 at 1:12 amI must be brilliant because I dream like you wouldn’t believe – vivid dreams every night, and I swear they last longer than a few seconds. And I almost always remember them.
Merry Christmas, GiGi!
by Bubba's Sis December 23, 2007 at 9:54 pmThis is great. Some of it I would rather not know (like the foot bacteria). And yes, I was checking the length of my nose. LOL.
Merry Christmas!

by Stacey January 1, 2008 at 12:28 pmOh… we weren’t supposed to stick our entire thumb UP our nose to compare the size? Geesh, wish someone would have clarified!
