Good afternoon Phoenix! It’s Thursday once again, and time for another top 10! Here’s 10 amazing facts:
• Birds do not urinate. They have no urethra. Their only method of elimination is through their anus. (and onto your car windshield)
• Hippos have red sweat. Their skin secretes a natural sunscreen type substance that is red, but quickly turns brown.
• Chocolate was once used as currency. The Aztecs traded with the Mayans for cocoa beans, which were heavily desired as currency. They believed they were a gift from the God of Wisdom.
• Your ears are used for more than hearing. They also help you keep your balance using the vestibular system fluid.
• Right handed people live an average of 9 years longer than left handed people. This is because machinery, tools, and everyday objects are set up for right handed people, causing lefties to suffer more accidents trying to use them either backwards in their left hand, or using them right handed as was intended, but with their non-dominant hand.
• It’s likely you have mites living on your eyelashes. These microscopic mites live on dead skin cells, and usually cause no problems.
• Blind people can also experience dreams. If they became blind after birth, they can still see images in their dreams. If they were blind at birth, they will still have vivid dreams, but they involve their other senses. Their brain automatically compensates by creating the dream and enhancing their other senses.
• A person will create enough saliva to fill two swimming pools in their lifetime.
• Your heart does not stop when you sneeze.
• The average person walks the equivalent of 5 times around the earth in their lifetime. An average stride results in 216,262,500 steps for a lifetime.
Have a fangtastic afternoon!
