DISGUSTING FACTS
We know-with a title like this one, you can't help yourself...
you have to read them. They really are disgusting, but, well,
now you have something to share as dinner conversation.
o The average human foot has about 20,000 sweat glands and can produce as much as half a cup of sweat each day.
o Cockroaches can flatten themselves almost to the thinness of a piece of paper in order to slide into tiny cracks, can be frozen for weeks and then thawed with no ill effect, and can also withstand 126 g's of pressure with no problem (people get squished at 18 g's).
o Most of the dust in your house is made up of dead human skin cells-every day, millions of them float off your body and settle on furniture and floors.
o The average municipal water treatment plant processes enough human waste every day to fill 72 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
o According to a recent survey, over 10% of Americans have picked someone else's nose.
o Tears are made up of almost the exact same ingredients as urine.
o Most people generally fart between 10 and 20 times a day, expelling enough gas to inflate a small balloon.
o Your mouth slows production of bacteria-fighting saliva when you sleep, which allows the 10 billion bacteria in your mouth to reproduce all night; "morning breath" is actually bacterial B.O.
o Leeches have mouths with three sets of jaws and between 60 to 100 teeth.
o A tapeworm can grow to a length of 30 feet inside human intestines.
o The crusty goop you find in your eyes when you wake up is the exact same mucus you find in your nose-boogers.
o Spiders don't eat their prey; they paralyze the victim with venom, vomit a wad of acidic liquid onto them, and then drink the dissolved body.
o The average person will produce 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime-enough to fill up two swimming pools.
