Facts!

I am taking this bio course at eight in the morning every Tuesday and Thursday and it is just short of hell. Sorry science majors and or lovers, but i absolutely hate bio, but i love the human body, weird? No i like things more on a macro level my questions are not "Why does the ribosomes make proteins that enter in the nucleus pores to sustain our nucleus just to get sent back out of the nucleus in the form of messenger RNA and happen all over again?" No way. I like questions like "How can my breathing and stance help my back pain?" So not that bio inspired me to write this post (cause it does not inspire me the least bit) but it did get me thinking and i looked up some interesting human body facts that you may know already but hopefully not.
