Was bored and decided to look for something interesting, I thought it was topic worthy..

 

#70 A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated. While it might be gross to think about, the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body, though reports as to the accuracy of this are widely varying.

The colder the room you sleep in, the better the chances are that youâ??ll have a bad dream.

It isnâ??t entirely clear to scientists why this is the case, but if you are opposed to having nightmares you might want to keep yourself a little toastier at night.

 

That's interesting

Babies are always born with blue eyes. The color of your eyes depends on the genes you get from your parents, but at birth most babies appear to have blue eyes. The reason behind this is the pigment melanin. The melanin in a newbornâ??s eyes often needs time after birth to be fully deposited or to be darkened by exposure to ultraviolet light, later revealing the babyâ??s true eye color.

 

i like this one too

 

It is not possible to tickle yourself. Even the most ticklish among us do not have the ability to tickle ourselves. The reason behind this is that your brain predicts the tickle from information it already has, like how your fingers are moving. Because it knows and can feel where the tickle is coming from, your brain doesnâ??t respond in the same way as it would if someone else was doing the tickling.

#52 Most men have erections every hour to hour and a half during sleep. Most peopleâ??s bodies and minds are much more active when theyâ??re sleeping than they think. The combination of blood circulation and testosterone production can cause erections during sleep and theyâ??re often a normal and necessary part of REM sleep.

A simple, moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively. How extensively? Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition. Consider that the next time youâ??re feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside.

Sneezes regularly exceed 100 mph. Thereâ??s a good reason why you canâ??t keep your eyes open when you sneezeâ??that sneeze is rocketing out of your body at close to 100 mph. This is, of course, a good reason to cover your mouth when you sneeze.

The surface area of a human lung is equal to a tennis court.

During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools. Saliva plays an important part in beginning the digestive process and keeping the mouth lubricated, and your mouth produces quite a bit of it on a daily basis.
