You spend about 3 years of your life in the toilet.

Every day, the average person swallows about a quart of snot.

The slowest growing finger nail is on the thumb nail and the fastest growing is the finger nail on the middle finger.

Scientists say that babies that are breastfed are more likely to be slimmer as adults than those that are not breastfed.

There are more chickens in the world than people.

Pinocchio was made of pine.

One out of 20 people have an extra rib.

Manicuring the nails has been done by people for more than 4,000 years.

People whose mouth has a narrow roof are more likely to snore. This is because they have less oxygen going through their nose.

A new baby typically results in 400-750 hours lost sleep for parents in the first year.

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes long.

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body that it could squirt blood 30 feet.

I watched a Jane Goodall documentary all about how there was a large group of chimps which had two dominant males. Over time they split the larger group into two subsections; one being pastoral and relaxed, while the other was ready to shag anything, including their babies. If it's ever repeated I'll try to cap it.

That's one definition, but the ones I saw were members of the same species. It was a cultural difference within the same general group.
