Some interesting ones…keep 'em coming people! :maroush:
Sorry to debunk your post Lippy, but both of the facts you have posted are actually myths, and i quote:
“In 1998, scientists at the Sweden and the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California discovered that brain cells in mature humans can regenerate. It had previously been long believed that complex brains would be severely disrupted by new cell growth, but the study found that the memory and learning center of the brain can create new cells – giving hope for an eventual cure for illnesses like Alzheimer’s.”
“The aerodynamics of a penny are not sufficient to make it dangerous. What would happen in reality is that the person who gets hit would feel a sting – but they would certainly survive the impact.”
[li]There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body.
[/li]
[li]An individual blood cell takes about 60 seconds to make a complete circuit of the body.
[/li]
so flow rate of blood is 1000 miles/sec or 3,600,000 miles per hour? This needs verification - I do not know any pump that can do this. Something does not add up.
Well did you know that Ceramics make up some of the most hardest elemental and compound materials on earth. Technically Diamonds are a form of ceramic.
