Humans are fascinating. Each square inch of human skin consists of about 20 feet of blood vessels. The average human heart will beat 3000 million times, pumping 48 million gallons of blood in a lifetime. What interesting fact would you like to share? [39]

The world as we know it is ending. So - if you want to get ahead, get with me. Heh, Theo my friend, you think about blood far too much.

In the gospel of Mark, chapter 16, verses 9-20 are widely thought to be later additions.
The Gospel writer never gave a description of the resurrection, or the resurrected Jesus. It's the only gospel to end on a note of fear. -
You could remove a large part of your internal organs and survive. The human body may appear fragile but it’s possible to survive even with the removal of the stomach, the spleen, 75 percent of the liver, 80 percent of the intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from the pelvic and groin area. You might not feel too great, but the missing organs wouldn’t kill you.

It takes eight minutes for sunlight to reach the earth; if something was to go wrong, we would only have eight minutes to live before most life as we know it, if not all life as we know it, froze.

I wake up with random scratches on my face, arms, or hands, and have no idea why or how they get there. I also have a nice black and blue mark on my leg from when I banged something on in at work, banged it up a bit at karate, and then banged it on my bowling ball.

When I turn my claw into a scythe it's like a metre and a half long. That'd really hurt if it were shoved into a stupid faggot's mouth all the way down!

No wonder they're so tasty.
I'm... not really the guy to go to for random trivia, to be honest. -
... Fascinating creatures indeed. They require more in-depth study. Perhaps that will be my next project.
Sometimes, what has been cited as being "burned alive" or "at the stake" actually consisted of pouring molten lead down the convicted's throat. If nothing else, it is a good way to make an example of someone. -
Sometimes, human organs form on the "wrong" side. Appendix on the left instead of the right, things like that, every thing is there, but it's mirrored. The person never finds out about it unless for whatever reason they get cut open. I dunno I thought that was neat.

PT Barnum was 61 when he started his circus. Heh... but sadly I have decade on him now, so I think my circus days are over.

Babies are born without knee caps. They don't appear until they reach 2-6 years old.

Blood is a specialized bodily fluid in animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. In vertebrates, it is composed of blood cells suspended in a liquid called blood plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water (92% by volume),[1] and contains dissipated proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide (plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation), platelets and blood cells themselves. Albumin is the main protein in plasma, and it functions to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. The blood cells are mainly red blood cells (also called RBCs or erythrocytes) and white blood cells, including leukocytes and platelets. The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein, which facilitates transportation of oxygen by reversibly binding to this respiratory gas and greatly increasing its solubility in blood. In contrast, carbon dioxide is almost entirely transported extracellularly dissolved in plasma as bicarbonate ion. For other uses, see Blood (disambiguation).
