Anyway though - take that Microsoft Windows! |

"Earwax is actually a type of sweat "
And you can apparently determine a sweatier person to a none sweatier person by the amount of it
I'm sure the less wax you have the sweatier you are |

When listening to music, your heartbeat will apparently sync with the rhythm.

"Apparently your bowel has more brain cells than a cat"
Technically that isn't very accurate because every time they tried the experiment, the cat just wasn't interested. Little lovable shits |

Women blink about two times less often than men.

"The human foot is exactly the same length of a Subway footlong.

However in Germany the footlong is known as the handlong as Germans generally have bigger hands than feet
"
but wait we all have different shoe sizes but a subway footlong is standard  |

The human body has a muscle that pumps blood around, this muscle is called the heart, Dee Lite claimed this is where the groove is, but experts now say groove is found in the thighs and ass. |

The primitive groove is something we all have, albeit transiently, around the 15th day of our development as embryos. |

"Genetically all humans are 98% identical to chimpanzees and 50% identical to bananas."
There is a strong case for extending some human rights to our close relations. The Great Ape Project is a good book on this. I'm still eating bananas though. |

Everyone, their uncle and the next door neighbours dog knows that we have five senses, right?
Wrong!
There are actually more.
Close your eyes and try to touch your nose.
Easy right? That’s because your employing proprioception. This is the sense that detects where the parts of your body are with respect to each other. It's classified as a meta-sense.

Being able to taste celery is genetic.
To me it is super strong and horrendously bitter. I can taste even the smallest sliver in a soup or stew.
To my ex it was "crunchy water" with no flavour at all. |

"A human head can remain conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated(!)
Just enough time to muse, ‘Shit! I left the oven on earlier...’
