The Power of Your Heart
Your heart is an incredible pump. In a single day, it beats about 100,000 times and pumps enough blood (about 2,000 gallons) to fill a small tanker truck. Over an average lifetime, the heart pumps enough blood to fill three supertankers.
The Speed of a Sneeze
A sneeze can travel at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour! This is why it's so important to cover your mouth—a single sneeze can send 100,000 germs into the air.
Bioluminescence
Humans are actually bioluminescent! We glow in the dark. However, the light emitted by the human body is 1,000 times less intense than the levels our naked eyes would be able to detect.
