TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

If I have learned anything these past few days, it's that life needs to be lived to the fullest everyday because you are not guaranteed tomorrow. I realize this because a longtime friend of mine passed away suddenly over the weekend at the young age of 31.

It came as a terrible shock to her family and friends, and so sad to grapple with the fact that she is no longer with us. Being with her in the ICU before she passed and attending her wake last night has been completely surreal.

I guess all I can really say today is tell the people in your life that you love them and give them an extra big hug!

Enjoy!
Melissa

RANDOM TIDBITS
Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. That works out to about 1.5 pounds each year, so the average person will lose around 105 pounds of skin by age 70.

Humans get a new stomach lining every three to four days. Otherwise, the strong acids your stomach uses to digest food would also digest your stomach.

The small intestine is about four times as long as the average adult is tall. If it weren't looped back and forth upon itself, its length of 18 to 23 feet wouldn't fit into the abdominal cavity.

A pair of feet have 500,000 sweat glands and can produce more than a pint of sweat a day.

Laid end to end, there are about 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body.

The nails that get the most exposure and are used most frequently grow the fastest. Fingernails grow fastest on the hand that you write with and on the longest fingers.
