If you spread your arms out, the length from fingertip to fingertip is the same as your height.

Now I’m trying to figure out a way to do this measurement. Considering I’m shrinking, is the distance between fingertips changing too.

There are more people in the U.K. than in Canada, Australia, Norway, and Iceland combined. The U.K. population is over 66 million.

God help us, we really don't have the space...

I knew we were squashed but I didn't know it was that bad. So why is our government determined to have even more people joining us?

"Decorator Crab" in its tactical camouflage - Indonesia

Decorator crabs are crabs of several different species, belonging
to the superfamily Majoidea, that use materials from their environment to hide from, or ward off, predators. They decorate themselves by sticking mostly sedentary animals and plants to their bodies as camouflage or, if the attached organisms are noxious, to ward off predators.

Situs inversus is a congenital condition in which the major visceral organs are reversed or mirrored from their normal positions. Although cardiac problems are more common, many people with situs inversus have no medical symptoms or complications resulting from the condition, and until the advent of modern medicine, it was usually undiagnosed.

Situs inversus is found in about 0.01%[1] of the population, or about 1 person in 10,000. In the most common situation, situs inversus totalis, it involves complete transposition (right to left reversal) of all of the abdominal organs. The heart is not in its usual position in the left chest, but is on the right, a condition known as dextrocardia (literally, "right-hearted"). Because the relationship between the organs is not changed, most people with situs inversus have no medical symptoms or complications.

Very true. I did not know about my plumbing until I had an emergency appendectomy. Instead of my appendix being in the lower right quadrant, it was in the upper left. That is the reason I have a 12 inch scar instead of a 2 in scar. I also have a horsehoe kidney, where the 2 are fused together and lower in my abdomen.

My mother's appendix was in her back. She had to have emergency surgery also but they did not know it was her appendix.

We all know dehydration kills. Why? Because without water the blood thickens to a paste like substance so it does not flow.

This is what causes heat stroke and heart attack. If a person stays out in the heat for an extended period of time and does not drink, their blood will begin to get sticky and the cells would lump together possibly causing a blood clot. This is why it is important to drink when out in the heat.

Good one. This is important to everyone of all ages.

Did anyone mention that your eyes stay the same size throughout your life from birth until death.

What I want to know is who did this test?

Farts are really fast. They've clocked in at 3.05 meters per second, which is roughly 7 miles per hour. That's faster than your standard hoverboard btw, which are also, coincidentally, flammable.

And I heard a doctor say that both men & women fart the same - around 20-30 times per day. Not all are felt.

I love to eat crabs but after seeing this pic, I will not look at crabs the same... LOL

Yes, some are farts and others are poonts. And some are just blips. I heard it was 14 times a day which truthfully I did feel was a bit understated.

you only have to cross your foot over the opposite knee... however even 3/4 inch longer .. if you look at your inner arm.. you think, nooo wayyy can my foot even be anything near that length ..

Meant to tell you HD. Crossing the foot over is not the problem...it's getting that forearm to then line up with it. I bet you're tall and slim aren't you? LOL

That there are black apples?! In some of the photos I've seen they look more purple than these. This Wikipedia page has some information about varieties of black apples.

Animals don't take a lousy pictures. Humans pose and primp for photos, and the pics come out so so. Animals don't pose, but come out looking great.

Walking 10,000 steps burns off approximately 500 calories. The average person walks about 4000 steps a day, so getting in that extra 6000 will burn off an additional 300 calories or one pound every 12 days.

It probably varies from person to person and also on what a person ate that day. But, one thing is for sure, the elevator is the best place to perform because:

1. you have a captive audience, even if it is just yourself
2. the echo adds an air of fullness not accomplished elsewhere
