After the first trimester, a fetus has fingerprints. They will be unique only to him or her for their entire life. I researched this after it was mentioned in the movie "Juno"...its true.
The average person expels flatulence 14 times each day. Watch out for those folks who are touted as being exceptional or above average
About one third of the human race has 20-20 vision.
The right lung of a human is larger than the left one. This is because of the space and placement of the heart. Which is why, when you have a chest cold or other respiratory ailment, you breathe better lying on your left side, it gives the right lung more room to expand.
It is not true that fingernails, toenails and hair continue to grow after we die. They do appear longer because when we die, we dehydrate and the skin pulls away. This causes nails and hair to look longer. No need to dig anyone up to verify this just take my word for it.
The tongue is the only muscle attached at one end.Although I can name a few folks who would benefit greatly for having it attached at both ends.
Humans, on average bite at 170lbs. of force Puts a new spin on the term "Bite Me!"
Your body has enough iron in it to make a nail 3 inches long. Do the guys in "Nine Inch Nails" have extra long tongues? Does Gene Simmons have an excess of iron?
Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest, and most occur between 8 and 9 AM. Gotta admit, its a great excuse to call in sick on a Monday.

I know a few that should have their tongues attached at both ends as well
There are, also, no two ear prints that are the same.
These are always fun to read.
The 7 lbs. force to rip off an ear still has me astounded. I can't believe my boyfriend or kids still have ears!!! They are such an easy handle to sling or drag someone around by!!! Guess I better stop doing that. Boyfriend is gawky enough without missing an ear.
I know some people too.
The tongue is the only muscle attached at one end. Although I can name a few folks who would benefit greatly for having it attached at both ends.
I had a feeling you would mention the abortion issue here...but look at it this way...every egg/sperm cell is a potential fetus...should masturbation be criminalized?

I'm just wondering cause my brother has this thing about calling women the B word including me,he also says that some men act like a B**** Unfortunately as much as mom and dad tried to get his language under control nothing worked.
I am removing your last two comments here, as this fun little piece is no place for your religious views regarding abortion. While i respect your views, I personally do not believe in them, per se, and this is not the forum for debate on the topic.
I sincerely apologize for the above comment. I probably should have thought twice before adding the 'fingernail" fact. I have never deleted a comment in my two plus years on Gather, and I hope to never do it again. I just did not want this little piece of fluff to turn into a debate.
I knew there was something to the Monday thing :) Thanks for the facts.
LOL...You were the first to catch it...not a darn thing...I guess I had a brain fart when writing up that one..I'm sure it made sense in my head at te time..lol
