Not Like You Needed To Know...

You really don't need to know any of the following information but it does pertain to my graduation project. Therefore, I am writing it down here so I don't loose it. General "Did you Knows?"

§Your stomach produces a new lining every 3 days in order to avoid digesting itself in its own production of acid.
§ Both sexes have an equal number of ribs, 24 to be exact.
§ If you tried to eat something while standing on your head, your muscles in your throat would pull the food up
§ The nervous system transmits messages to the brain at speeds of 180 miles per hour!
§ The strongest muscle in your body is the gluteus maximus. Our buttocks is also the least sensitive part of our body. The tongue is considered to be second best.
§ Laughing and coughing put more pressure on the spine than walking or standing.
§ It is a fact that the heart, when taken out of the body, will continue to beat. Even when cut into parts, the muscles in the heart will continue to beat.
