Things to Think for Thoughts to Thunk

Ever wonder about the ins and outs of the human body? It really is the most fascinating creation and my natural curiosity has led me to a few interesting facts I think many individuals will enjoy.

So sit back, relax, and take a ride on my magical findings.

Let's take a look at memory. It is thought that the human brain's storage capacity (in electronic terms) is equivalent to 3 or sometimes 1,000 terabytes. Putting this in Layman's terms, The National Archives of Britain contain over 900 years of history resulting in around 70 terabytes...get it now?

Moving on to facial hair, more specifically the facial hair found upon the average man. If never shaved, it is said that their beards will grow around 30 feet during his lifetime...that's longer than the average length of a Great White Shark (around 20 ft).

Proportion wise, the body knows what it's doing. It is said that our left lung is slightly smaller than our right lung. This is so that there's enough room in your chest to fit your heart.

Women are born with a better sense of smell and remain better smellers over our lifetimes. Women's ability to more accurately pinpoint exactly what a smell is over men is much greater. We're better able to define smells such as citrus, vanilla, and coffee. Bloodhounds beware!

That exact moment when you wake up and get out that first stretch in the morning, not only are you preparing to start another glorious day, but you're also at your tallest. We are about 1 cm taller in the morning than we are throughout the rest of the day. The cartilage between our bones becomes compressed when we stand over time, bringing us back to our original height.

For all you workout enthusiasts and partially lazy individuals, it takes twice as long to lose new muscle than it did to gain it. This doesn't mean you should continue your lazy streak...look at it as more of an invitation to get up off the couch and do some work outs!

Having an increased amount of nightmares lately? It could be because your room is too cold. Studies are showing that the colder a room is, the more likely you'll encounter having a nightmare. Fight off that miscellaneous monster under your bed by toasting up your room a little!

That's all my fun facts to share for now, more to come if you found yourself enjoying it. Thanks!
