Your body - 10 thing's you don't really want to know

[Franion]

"Your body, my body, everybody . . "

1. The average human body comprises enough fat to make seven bars of soap, enough iron to make a medium sized nail, enough potassium to explode a toy cannon, enough lime to whitewash a small chicken coop, enough sugar to fill a jam jar, and enough sulphur to rid a dog of fleas.

2. A complete skeleton is worth between US$5,000 and $7,500 to a medical student; your skull alone would fetch only about $450.

3. Your mouth produces about one litre (1 US quart) of saliva per day.

4. Demodex folliculorum has eight stumpy legs and a tail, is about a third of a millimeter long, and loves nothing more than to recline in the warm, oily pits of your hair follicles. Most adults have this mite, usually on the head, but especially in eyelashes. And often, they’re in nipples.

5. You have approximately 4,000 wax glands in each ear.

6. The average adult stool (that's "turd" to us) weighs about 120 grams (4 ounces). And half of the bulk of your f(a)eces comprises the dead bodies of bacteria that live inside your intestines.

7. The average male foot exudes 240ml (half a pint) of sweat each day.

8. If it weren’t for the slimy mucous that clings to and lines the walls of your gut, your stomach would readily digest itself.

9. The average person will pass about 42,000 litres (11,000 gallons) of urine in a lifetime.

10. A man weighing 90Kg (200 lbs) would provide enough meat to feed 100 cannibals in one sitting.


Enjoy your lunch.

A rather macabre list but very interesting non the less.

Iron enough to make a nail,
Lime enough to paint a wall,
Water enough to drown a dog,
Sulfur enough to stop the fleas,
Poison enough to kill a cow,
Potash enough to wash a shirt,
Gold enough to buy a bean,
Silver enough to coat a pin,
Lead enough to ballast a bird,
Phosphor enough to light the town,

(and so on)

1. The average human body comprises enough fat to make seven bars of soap,

In my most morbid internet viewing experience, I saw the photos taken of a body in a bathtub. The person was an elderly man they think. He had a cup heater for warming up tea, and he must've been using it when he died. The heater was in the bath boiling the liquid with the man in. He became stew, and only part of his leg was found. The rest was like black gravy.

I've always known, that I'm never alone.

People that pass out in hot tubs from (usually) drinking to much have their remains look like over cooked pasta.

10. A man weighing 90Kg (200 lbs) would provide enough meat to feed 100 cannibals in one sitting.

Now if I could donate my body post mortem, rather than donate my organs while I am alive, I could keep 100 cannibals going for another day. Just when I thought I had done all that I could do for world hunger. On the other hand, I have 6,570 cum servings for one man for 18 years. I guess I am doing OK.
