Go Ahead and Try It

Let’s start this list out the right way: with a weird fact that you’ll try right now.

Did you know? You can’t hum while holding your nose close.

Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Oh, good, that was quick. Did it work for you? I’ve heard some people say they can do it, no problem. Tell me your success in the comment section!

Breathe In, Breathe Out

Every time we breathe, we inhale about 50 dangerous bacteria. If our immune system were not working hard, we could become seriously ill from them. Lucky, humans are, to have such dedicated body systems.

I Wish I Were a Little Taller

If you are a height -challenged individual like myself, and want to cheat on your numbers, take measurements in the morning. Science says we are slightly taller in the morning than at night.

Night Time Honesty

When the sun goes down, ask questions. Research says people are more honest at night than during the day. Our brains go weary as bedtime nears. The more tired we are, the less brainy our brain becomes.

Tickle Me No-Mo

Ever tried to tickle yourself? Doesn’t work so well, right? You’re too slow.

Your brain can predict what’s about to happen as you move your hand toward the body to tickle. So by the time your hand reaches, it’s ready and waiting, eliminating any laughter it might otherwise have caused.

An Upside Down View of The World

Speaking of our amazing body parts, did you know our eyes see things upside down, but our brains flip ir right side up so we clearly see what we are looking at? I think everyone owes their brain a big thank you.

Wet Skeleton

No, it’s not the name of a new heavy metal band, although I agree that it’d be bad ass.

Your skeleton is actually wet, right now, as you read this blog.

So, it’s a big misconception that our bones are dry and brittle. Milk does a body good, however, so drink up.

Our bones are made up of about 31% water, which keeps them well-lubed for our moving pleasure.

What's so Funny?

Rats can laugh, but humans can’t hear it. This causes me to wonder who their favorite comedian is, whether they have a dark sense of humor, and if dad jokes are the cause of their laughter. Honestly, what makes a rat laugh? Maybe its a "pyschoratph"' who gets his kicks from chewing through wires? The world may never know, but Science is sure they laugh.

Okay, let me throw some random knowledge on you now.

• I know my horror fans are obsessed with the movie Hannibal. How many times have you seen it? Have you ever noticed that Hannibal never blinks during the movie?
• In the Home Alone movies, producers placed a real tarantula named Barry on Daniel Stern’s face. I suppose I’d also allow it for $300k.
• Developed in Scotland during the late 18th century, chainsaws were originally used for childbirth purposes. I shriek just thinking of hearing the sound in the delivery room, much less it being used on me.
• And for the final fact, I present information no one wants to know but should know to stay safe. We trust doctors, specialists, pharmacists, and other medical professionals, but the truth is, they make many mistakes. Medical errors cause around 250,000 deaths each year

The End

That’s all I have this go round. I hope you learned something new. Share your favorite facts with your friends. The world is a better place when everyone knows such important information! And, of course, tell me something interesting that I should know!
