Unusual Facts About The Human Body

Tonight at the dinner table, or when you're driving to the local diner, dazzle the family with some of these facts about the human body.

Start with this one about carrots. If you eat too many of them, your skin can turn orange, the kids will love that one!

Speaking of eating… during your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two backyard swimming pools!

And did you know that your tongue print is as unique as your fingerprint?

I'll bet you didn't know that your eyes can see about 10 million different colors, and when you close them at bedtime, and begin to dream, your body doesn't move a muscle.

Something that does keep you moving is your heart. The average American's ticker beats about three billion times in a lifetime.

Now, the next time you're pulling on your socks, think about this fact: About one-quarter of the body's bones are in the feet -- that's 52 out of more than 200!
