One human hair can support 3 kg (6.6 lb).
The average man's penis is three times the length of his thumb.
Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.
A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.
There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.
Women blink twice as often as men.
The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.
Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.
If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.
Women reading this will be finished now.
Men are still busy checking their thumbs.

So this is why men will often talk about being "all thumbs"???

Hi crazyheart,

Flatulence comes in different tones.
Nobody knows why.
It is sort of like the song of the humpback whale that way.
Grace and peace to you.

"The average man's penis is three times the length of his thumb."
Is that "at attention" or "at ease"?

Beans really are the musical fruit. Gives me an idea for an orchestra.......how about the theme from "Star Wars"?
That thumb analogy... Do I now have to avert my eyes when a man twiddles his thumbs?

I'm obviously born with thumbs that are too long for my body

I just got a wondermail. I was afraid to open it. I thought it was Admin banning this thread because someone complained the thumb was too short of a measure - wanted it to be "foot" not thumb.But all is well, it wasn't from Admin.

There are people who have double-jointed thumbs. Now wouldn't that be a hoot?

lol crazy...yes, and just slight perverse.
I used to try to avoid looking at the size of men's feet and now I have to avoid looking at their thumbs, just in case they read this...thanks a lot, crazy.
But let's move on to something that I am completely and unabashedly fond of...fartsounds! Yahoo...the intonations and reverberations...I think they're so funny and I have the greatest respect for a humdinger! Bring 'em on but no thumbtwitching to get my attention...then, I'll blush.

Greetings!
Okay, has anyone else noticed that the last 9 or so comments on this thread are about penises and farts? And nothing about the other "things to know about the human body" facts? Although all of us WCers differ in our faith beliefs, we seem to have one-track minds (lol)
Hope, peace, joy, love . . .

ahem...
oh, isn't it simply good to have a penis??
isn't it frightfully great to have a dong??
its swell to own a stiffy,
its devine to own a dick,
from the tiniest little tadger, to the worlds biggest prick!
so three cheers for your willy or john thomas...
hurray! for your one eyed trouser snake!
your piece of pork, your wifes best friend,
your percy or your cock,
you can wrap it up in ribbons, you can stick it in your sock.
but don't take it out in public, or they'll stick you in the dock,
and you won't... a-come... a-back.
whhoooo thank you very much!!!

ah - that is the fine talent of the wonderful Monty Python, a treasure to be sure!
Now, on the humpback whale issue... Is it true then that men communicate with those things? I've heard tell of whistlers & rumbles meaning different things.... perhaps RevJohn knows something about this? I can't imagine that women comprehend this language.
You know, thank god for WC, because if we were having this conversation in real life, men would be trying to quietly measure their hands and tallywhackers, and there would be awfully smelly orchestra playing.
yes Beloved, we are all completely waylaid by such delightful topics :)

If I can be allowed a comment that doesn't have to pertain only to reproductive physiology, I find it just as intriguing that the entire lining of your digestive tract is replaced every five days (although it's more accurate to say that one-fifth is replaced every day). It's a tough life in your digestive system!
p.s. not every cell is replaced within seven years. Some nerve cells can last several times that! Which is why it's so difficult to replace them when we lose them. Now let's see.... what were we talking about again?

Hi Birthstone,

The language may not be directed at women.
There are some new developments in understanding the singing of humpback whales in that it appears males are more attracted to the calls than are females.
The females do not sing.
So it might just be that the song of the humpback whales is really just the men folk saying "The missus is driving me nuts" and all the other menfolk saying, "I hear you."
Flatulence might be a similar male friendly zone mechanism. It allows men the freedom to get in touch with their primitive side and create a safe area where grunts and such are allowed as communication tools and we are not forced into proper diction or enunciation.
After our male bonding time we spring into the present, clean-up a bit and pass for 21st Century individuals with all of the confining and stifling limitations of 21st Century reality.
You know, thank god for WC, because if we were having this conversation in real life, men would be trying to quietly measure their hands and tallywhackers, and there would be awfully smelly orchestra playing.
Actually, that is a function of puberty and males who never mature past that stage continue to fixate on that matter in the deluded belief that size makes them more desireable a mate.
We who sit around, farting, belching and scratching understand that the female of the species has other thoughts on the matter and size only matters when the male can be dragged around by it. Our little gatherings give us the opportunity to exercise a little control and restore some notion of being our own masters.
Grace and peace to you.

Hmmm I'm not surprised. "The females do not sing." I think that is because we are all weeping over another fart during intimacy, or a scratcy display as we walk in the door after a long day, or a burp during dinner. "

A fart it is a pleasant thing,
It gives the belly ease,
It warms the bed in winter,
And suffocates the fleas.
A fart can be quiet,
A fart can be loud,
Some leave a powerful,
Poisonous cloud
A fart can be short,
Or a fart can be long,
Some farts have been known
To sound like a song......
A fart can create
A most curious medley,
A fart can be harmless,
Or silent , and deadly.
A fart might not smell,
While others are vile,
A fart may pass quickly,
Or linger a while......
A fart can occur
In a number of places,
And leave everyone there,
With strange looks on their faces.
From wide-open prairie,
To small elevators,
A fart will find all of
Us sooner or later.
But farts are all bad,
Is simply not true-
We must never forget.......
Sweet old farts like me and you!

And to return the favour, let me give you this song.
Unusre if you can get it on youtube
Show Us the Length
(Bob Bossin / Stringband
Girls as the principal of Terra Nova High School
Once each year it's a pleasure for me
To introduce you to the Mayor of the City of Pacifica
To say a few words about our annual Queen
"Who'll be," said the Mayor, "a very lucky maid
To represent the Pacifica to all of the state
And who could go on to be Miss California
Or even Miss America herself!"
"I expect to see some volunteers"
When one girl rose and without any fears
She said:
"Mr. Mayor,
Show us the length of your cock
Are you hung like a beaver or hung like a bear?
Let me check the weight of your rocks
So we can have a standard by which to compare
You men don't worry if it's very very slender
The personality is as important as a member
Drop your trousers and make the news
Or don't judge lest we judge you."
Well the girls watched the teachers who were checking out the principal
Who glanced at the Mayor who looked at his shoes
"Huh, huh", said the Mayor then "Excuse me Mr. Principal
I just remember I got something else to do
elsewhere"But before he could leave the school
The girl came forward a holding out her ruler
The Mayor took off like a kite in the wind
When she started singing again:
Show us the length of your cock
Are you hung like a beaver or hung like a bear?
Let me check the weight of your rocks
So we can have a standard by which to compare
You men don't worry if its short or bent or slender
The personality is as important as a member
Drop your trousers and make the news
Or don't judge lest we judge you.
Girls as the Principal of Terra Nova High School
I called you back to say these words
A girl has been suspended for the rest of the semester
On account of the behavior of which you have all heard
By now it was a blow to Terra Nova's name
We believe in freedom but license is not the same
The women's liberation may be partially true
But there's never an excuse for being be rude.
Some girls clapped and others just booed
And all the other girls just sang this tune:
Show us the length of your cock
Are you hung like a beaver or hung like a bear?
Let me check the weight of your rocks
So we can have a standard by which to compare
You men don't worry if its short or bent or slender?
The personality is as important as a member
Drop your trousers and make the news
And don't judge lest we judge you.
(with no pants on)
Don't judge lest we judge you
(and find you wanting)
Don't judge lest we judge you
And don't judge unless you be judged
(Without a shred)

Small points but really informative and really good to know about the internal system of your body. Let me tell everyone one more thing that excessive use of steroids online are not good and stops the growth of your body.
