Sorry I didn't mean to linky twice! This is a really interesting list. So if #1 is true then how on earth did those everlasting gobstoppers in Willy Wonka work. I know...I'm over analyzing.
Thanks for stopping by and WOW I never knew some of these. Like that if your saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.
Learn something new everyday.
And a lot of people use their skin more than their brain, too. :-)
ps sorry if my humor got a little too black for you.
#9 Explains why I don't understand foot fetishes....
I wonder why we blink more than men, is it because we're thinking twice as fast? He he, sorry, very interesting!
This a really cool list. I wonder who took the time to figure this stuff out. And I have to say that I'm grateful coffee dissolves 'cause I don't know what I would do with out my mojo in the morning.
And as for pupils dilating for those you love and hate, oh, now does that raise some interesting thoughts.
Great TT. Thanks for sharing.
Some of this I knew -- like the woman's heart beating faster. It's a size thing. Sort of like how much faster a hummingbird's heart beats when compared to an elephant's.
The rest are pretty cool. Heck, the whole list is pretty cool. What brought it on?
Sounds like you learned a lot working in the medical field. I bet they're sorry you're not there anymore!
Ummm... a kid with a stomach virus and general idiocy are combining to make me think you no longer work?
How's that?
Sorry. *blush*
You deserve a raise, though. You clearly know more than the average person.
lol I just sat there like an idiot putting my thumb beside my nose to see if that was true LOL.
Thanks for stopping by my TT btw!
Now that is an interesting list... The thighbones being stronger than concrete: cooooool! I can't wait to tell my hubby some of these!
Happy T13 ^_^
Great trivia!
And now that I'm self-conscious, I'm going to start blinking..
Interesting. Gross. But interesting.
My TT13 is up, this week it's . Any Apples :) Happy TT13!
sorry for the multiple comments, but your box is cutting off part of my link - oh well
This is a cool list! I read the facts off to my husband. Thanks for checking out my 13 from last week. I just got the list up for this week. BTW-those are beautiful photos on your sidebar!
Interesting list. Of course most of the sense of "taste" is actually the sense of smell...
I like it! Although, I think some women blink enought for 20 people. :)
Happy TT!
What a cool list! Some of these I knew, but I learned some new things too. :-)
Thanks for visiting my TT.
Cool stuff!
Yep, I actually looked at my thumb...omg!
Thanks for visiting my TT.
Oooooh...so much I didn't know!
I knew there was a valid reason as to why I don't like feet! ICK!
Happy TT!
Wow, I found these to be very interesting, especially the one about dimples. And I wonder what body hair has to do with the liver? Wierd, huh?
Have a great weekend.
What a great list!
Hmmm...pupils dilating when you look at someone you love and at someone you hate! Interesting! Proves the "fine line between love & hate" theory, doesn't it?
Wow, what fascinating facts! Thanks for sharing. I didn't know women blinked more than men! And fun, too, the nose and thumb thing -- as I read that, I laid my thumb alongside my nose to doublecheck! :-D
Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my blog!
what a fun list! thanks for stopping by my TT
Cool list. I love stuff like this.
7. If the average male never shaved, his beard would be 13 feet long when he died.
Does that mean those two dudes in ZZ Top will die soon?
Guess I won't have to worry about my dh's liver. LOL
TOo funny about the hair thing, do you think that hair absorbs the extra liquor from the liver! ;)
Very cool TT! Thanks for dropping by mine.
Wow...some of those really freak me out! But I'm in a state of heightened enlightenment right now anyway.
Did you know that we're both Lori and we're both 40? If we didn't live on opposite ends of the country, I might think that we are the same person or something.
Wow...it's really really hot where you are! Your son is adorable!
I didn't know any of the thirteen facts about the human body!
Wow, cool human facts. Never know when they will come in handy. We're glad we are cats, its much easier. We come fully dressed. Catnip is like a uppers for cats. It makes them act crazy in a good way.

Definately interesting facts. Some of them I already knew, but others I was really astonished at. No I haven't seen premonition yet, but it's on my to do list.
Is number 8 really true? That's oddly fascinating...
Happy TT -- and nice to meet you :)
Happy TT. Now those were some really interesting facts.:o)
Thanks for stopping by my TT and commenting. Much appreciated.
#3 reminds me of my first year at university. Our lecturer in materials was an expert in concrete. I learnt a lot about it and spent several afternoons making things from it including little 10cm cubes. Then we got to break them in stress machines. Plain old concrete is really, really weak but once you add some metal reinfocing, chemicals, agregates and other stuff it can be really strong. If you really want to make it strong though the traditional techniques of blessing it with whisky or guiness can make it shockingly strong but no one knew why...
Very informative list. Most I didn't know. I guess we learn something new everyday. THanks for sharing! Happy T13!
Interesting facts! I had no idea on some of them.
I measured my thumb to my nose immediately. Yeap! I'm normal! =)
This was a very interesting list! Though I'm not too fond of the feet thing...but still, informative! =D
Happy T13! Sorry I'm late!
Wow, interesting facts!
