Oh, crap – I was totally measuring my nose with my thumb!!!
I am feeling rather sheepish with my thumb on my nose right now…

Hah, i measured the length of my right thumb using my left index and thumb and had that up against my nose. But still, it sounds preposterous enough for anyone to put it to the test
I totally believe this one- “Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil” and you know i’m not joking! LOL
A beautiful picture, is it your own work? if not who’s the artist?
BTW, your hand from heel to fingertip is exactly the same size as your face from chin to hairline (that’s your original hairline if you’ve gone bald!); and your foot is exactly the same length as your wrist from your elbow to the heel of your hand…
now, try to resist the urge to test this fact… or if you’re in a busy office, see if you can test without anyone noticing!
i would like to study biology to be a biologest so i wish you will help me good bye
“The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica.”
This seems very unlikely. I doubt an individual cell can hold much information at all- it’s the huge number of them, and moreso the associations between them that gives us our memory capacity.
That I don’t belive and neither the following:
Anyone that can provide proof feel free to do so.
