The human body is amazing

its cute

Stick your hand in a meat grinder, turn off the light, flip the switch on, turn on the light and watch the remains of your adjust to light

or have someone get reasonably close to your face, have them focus on you, then focus on a distant object.

watch some porn and watch your penis enlarge

"The average human brain weighs 1.4kg, but consumes 1/3 of the body's energy and blood supply. It consists of 100 billion nerve cells, with 100 million billion connections between them. The cerebral cortex is only millimeters thick but accounts for 40% of the entire brain mass. A human brain has around a hundred million times as much raw computing power as a modern day PC."

That's precisely what I'm saying. It just... happens. Amazing.

Mine badly needs defragging...

"Figure the length of your foot is about 15% of your height..."Rule of thumb" says the length of your foot is about the distance from the elbow to your wrist (forearm)."
...you probably wouldn't think so - but try it, that's exactly right for me.

"Your H A I R is about as strong as aluminum.. which grow about 1 / 72" per day, or 1/2" per month. The rate & thickness of growth is unaffected by cutting. In an average lifetime it will grow 25 ft. Between 50-60 a day are shed (which increases in spring & fall). Human body will produce about 350 miles of hair in a lifetime.

"Your brain is 80% water. Your blood actually is less fluid (or more solid) than your brain. If you unfolded your brain, it would cover an ironing board. Nerve impulses from the brain travel as fast as 170 mph. The brain is immune to pain! Any pain from injury, illness or whatever, is perceived by the brain. It has no receptor cells (like we have in other parts of our bodies) that sense pain. There are a lot of surgical procedures that are carried out on the brain whilst the patient is awake- the skull & surrounding tissue is numbed by anaesthetic; after this a patient feels no pain.

"The most powerful muscle in your body is the jaw muscle
...(how about the heart?)

"Your stomach produces a new layer of mucus every 2 weeks; otherwise it will digest itself. Every 3 days, your body makes a new lining for your stomach.

"Human bones are stronger than concrete.

"The liver has over 500 functions; including stores vitamins and removing harmful chemicals from the blood. Even if up to 80% of it is removed, the liver will continue to function, and will grow again to its original size.

"Between the time of death and the onset of rigor mortis in a body, the contraction of muscles can cause the body to turn over on its side.

"Most sensitive finger - forefinger. There are an estimated 50,000 nerve endings per sq. inch in your fingertips.

"A sneeze comes out your mouth & nose at almost 100 mph.

"Your left lung is smaller than your right lung- to make room for your heart."

Step on a tack and experience awe at how fast the pain signals travel up your nerves to your brain.

Worked for me too, odd...I didn't think it was true until I tried it.

It is physically impossible to lick the tip of your own own elbow























half of the people reading that will have tried it and all will have failed and some might complain of hurting their neck.....

STruth. I've been known to rattle windows and kill people with my sneezes.

Not my hair

This one makes me cringe.

There's a fact I missed on Discovery Channel

Halogen or Incandescent?

Some fascinating stuff here...!
And I tought it would be another of your Ogrish.com thread

incredible

Sometimes I really have concerns about ldinternet's psychological shape.

SMB to very attractive brunette sitting alone in local sports bar ...

"Did you know that your body has 206 bones in it ??"

Attractive Brunette : "Ummmm ... no I never counted"

SMB: "would you like one more ???"

When you focus on a distant object and then on a close object, your pupils will become smaller

Don't kid yourself. We are all robots.

Go bite into a wintergreen lifesaver in a dark bathroom...those motherfuckers really spark, I didn't believe this shit for a second, but it seriously works...the weather's got to be decently dry out.

What this has to do with the human body, I have no idea

yeah, brain has no pain receptors or whatever, i've seen documentaries on epilepsy where they operate on people's brains while they're awake, they probe different spots on the brain and ask the patient questions.

human body is amazing in how it works but fucking scary - one cell decides one day to start dividing out of control and goes on its merry way - u have no idea until one day, sometimes years later, u discover there's a lump somewhere in your body or some other symptons - cancer.

Whoa dude! Just tried it. Better than drugs! I'm hooked!

Not!!

It's funny how cats eyes don't seem to work in the same way. When my cats have been out in the sun and come back into the more sheltered light inside, their eyes stay like little slits for the next half hour.

The other cool thing is that if they see a potential pounce, their pupils will grow considerably within about a second.

Patience, son... patience...

i agree

hell yes this is my new pastime... i actually practice sneezing I think someday I will be on Conan Obrien or something demonstrating pro-sneeze technique.
