Strange Facts About the Human Body: From Licking Stamps to Coughing

Here are some crazy facts about our bodies and other normal things that occur within our body on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy this article, and that perhaps it educates you on the normal things our body does or has.

Crazy Hair facts

On average, a person loses between 40 and a hundred strains of hair on just a normal day. This is okay if you have a lot of hair but for those men who do the comb over trick this could be a very bad thing. What makes your hair fallout, its life and all the stresses associated with the day-to-day living.

What section of hair grows the fastest on a human body? It is the facial hair of men of course. If the man never trimmed his beard in the course of his lifetime, it could possibly grow more and then 30 feet long. That would be wonderful if you had a beard fetish, but many of us do not.

For some women who do get facial hair, sad to say most of us women we will grow hair out our face at some point. Most women by the time they are 50 years old will have to shave or pluck at least one quick growing hair, that is found on our cheeks or around our mouths. I know this from my days of working as a nurse's aide; I have shaved plenty of women.

A few years ago at the county fair I did see a woman with a full beard, and the just rather blew my mind. Yes, I am sure it was a woman, because her chest was well endowed, strange I know, but it happens.

Crazy Sneezing and Cough Facts

If a sneeze can exceed 100 miles, an hour and a cough can move the airwaves at 60 miles an hour that makes it very easy to spread the flu, the common cold, and other sicknesses to other people in your household.

This is why it is always important to provide that barrier between your hands and your nose or mouth. This is also, why we all get sick because our sneezes and coughs both run faster than we do.

Stamps have calories

Every time you lick a stamp you are consuming 1 tenth of the calorie, which is not bad if you are only licking one stamp on a day but licking 10 stamps will get to you one extra calorie a day.
