• Your skull is made up of 29 different bones.
• Human blood travels 60,000 miles per day on its journey through the arteries, arterioles and capillaries and back through the venules and veins. (I hope it takes the freeway.)
• Your ears and nose continue to grow throughout your entire life.
• If you were freeze-dried, 10% of your body weight would be from the microorganisms on your body. (Now doesn't that just make you want to puke.)
• A sneeze zooms out of your mouth at over 100 m.p.h.
• Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks otherwise it will digest itself. (Mmmmm... This is making me hungry!)
• You burn 26 calories in a one minute kiss. (Use this as a pickup line in the gym.)
• A person weighs less at high tide. (So check the time of day before getting weighed.)
• There are 45 miles of nerves in the skin of a human being.
• The average human blinks his eyes 6,205,000 times each year. (Yes, this is true. I counted.)
• The arteries and veins surrounding the brain stem called the "circle of Willis" looks like a stick person with a large head.
• The average human produces a quart of saliva a day or 10,000 gallons in a lifetime.
• You use an average of 43 muscles for a frown.
• You use an average of 17 muscles for a smile.
• Your left lung is smaller than your right lung to make room for your heart.
• Between the time of death and the onset of rigor mortis in a human body, the contraction of the muscles can cause the body to turn over on its side. (That would be VERY freaky to watch!)
• Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell.
• Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.
• Every person has a unique tongue print. (So if you accidentally lick something at a crime scene...)
• The average human's heart will beat 3,000,000,000 times in their lifetime. (I'm in the process of counting this one.)

so frown more it will keep your face strong so you dont get wrinkles

[alanamosteller]

• Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.

l

Unfortunatley, that's not quite true, they have a very good strength to weight ratio, one that is no doubt better than concrete. But that doesn't mean drobbing a slab of concrete on your femur won't break it. It will.

Bones strength actually comes from it's flexibility more than density, because 90% of bone is living tissue, and soft. So it absorbs impact, as opposing to resisting it with brute strength.
Babies are prime examples of this, I once heard a story of a baby who got his/her head run over by a tractor, but a combination of the soft mud and extra flexy form of baby bones saved his/her life. Of course, that too may be an urban myth. But I don't think the mythbusters will even be allowed to test that one

i'm actually researching mostly about muscle growth and all that stuff atm, but had to post this XD

You should see this program on Discovery called The Human Body - The Ultimate Machine.

It covers all aspects, but there's a specific episode called Strength which you might be interested. It's all about the muscles, tendons, cartiledge etc. And it was just really interesting. I'll see if I can find a clip of it.
