It takes 7 seconds for food to pass from mouth to stomach.


A human hair can hold 3kg.


The length of a penis is 3 x the length of the thumb.


The femur is as hard as concrete.


A woman's heart beats faster then a man's.


Women blink 2 x as much as men.


We use 300 muscles just to keep our balance when we stand.
A woman has read this entire post. A man is still looking at his thumb.

Gotta admit it - I did.....
George Shaw Mar 22, 2011, 7:00pm UTC
LOL, I would bet there isn't 1 in a 1000 who doesn't.
Karl Leuba Mar 25, 2011, 12:48am UTC
I did not just look, I measured.
George Shaw Mar 25, 2011, 1:04am UTC
Good for you. BTW, do you know why women are such poor judges of distance?








Their husbands and boy-friends are always telling them, "I have 6"."
Alison H. Mar 22, 2011, 7:07pm UTC

I am glad you got a chuckle, Diane. Thanks for checking in.
Thomas R. Mar 22, 2011, 11:51pm UTC
So why don't the women here believe that? 3 x the length of the thumb? Who says size doesn't matter?
George Shaw Mar 22, 2011, 11:55pm UTC
Who said they don't believe that? Haven't you noticed women looking at your thumb? LOL
Elsie Duggan Mar 23, 2011, 12:15am UTC
All the things I need to know George, really cute and funny, and love the last line:)
George Shaw Mar 23, 2011, 12:32am UTC
Which, I suspect, if mainly true. LOL
Thanks for stopping by.

Too funny! Something tells me you've gotten hold of that book "1001 Useless Facts" that did the rounds in my dorm back in the day...
George Shaw Mar 23, 2011, 5:02pm UTC
The world is full of useless facts, and people make money on the trivia circuit with them -- hum, I guess they aren't really useless then. LOL
Karl Leuba Mar 25, 2011, 12:53am UTC
What a strange use for the opposable thumb. Get a grip George.

And, now we know why women blink so much.
