TIL Today I Learnt These 10 Gross and Weird Body Facts

in #til8 years ago

Here some gross and weird facts for you..

  1. In your lifetime you make enough saliva to fill two Olympic size swimming pools

  2. Your feet have over 500,000 sweat glands and can sweat up to a pint a day. Smelly sneakers alert!

  3. The average person farts about 14 times a day, which is the equivalent of 1 to 3 pints of gas. Poor ozone layer.

  4. Even those us ladies try to be more reserved about farting, there is research out there that says that female farts contains more hydrogen sulphide then males, which means our farts smell more (sorry girls). Ah, but who makes the bathroom stink more?

  5. Like your fingerprints are unique to you, your tongue has a unique print too.

  6. The foreskin from circumcised babies is used to treat burn victims, as it continues to grow so fast, each one can produce about 4 acres of skin.

  7. We are only 10% human! Well the cells in our bodies are only 10% human as the rest are bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms.

  8. You have some bacteria in your gut that both keeps you healthy helps digest food, but when you die that very same bacteria will eat you from the inside out.

  9. Everyday, our bodies produce almost 2 litres of boogers, or snot. Just imagine how much that goes up when you have a stinking cold.

  10. In your mouth, there is more bacteria living there than there are people in the world.

I hope that those facts were satisfyingly cringeworthy for you.

How much farting does the person on the upper end of the spectrum do though? Like how many pints?

That would be my stepfather and the answer is... 7000. He used to gnaw on a whole pepperoni and drink an RC cola while watching TV. Horrible.

I was going to name my band "Swimming Pools of Saliva". Went with "3 Pints of Gas" instead.

I wonder if I can claim my donation to the burn victim ward on my next tax return...

Got to admit I agree with the farting lol :)
