Welcome to another fast Monday edition of Twisted Facts! This week, we’re talking about the amazing human body. Although we are very fragile, our bodies are also unique machines with some incredible abilities.

Did you know:

The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razorblades? Our stomach cells renew themselves frequently to prevent the acid from eating away at the stomach–we get a lining every 3 to 4 days.

Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil.

The fastest growing nail is on the middle finger.

There are as many hairs per square inch on your body as a chimpanzee.

By the age of 60, most people will have lost about half their taste buds.

Like fingerprints, every individual has an unique tongue print that can be used for identification.

Your ears secrete more earwax when you are afraid than when you aren’t.

The human heart creates enough pressure to squirt blood 30 feet in the air.

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

Feet have 500,000 sweat glands and can produce more than a pint of sweat a day

The average human body contains enough: Sulphur to kill all fleas on an average dog, Carbon to make 900 pencils, Potassium to fire a toy cannon, Fat to make 7 bars of soap, Phosphorus to make 2,200 match heads, and enough Water to fill a ten gallon tank.

You burn 26 calories in a one minute kiss.

Dogs and Humans are the only animals with prostates.

Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell.

What fact is the weirdest? Or most disgusting? For me, it’s the 500,000 sweat glands in the feet. Ew!

“This is one of those books that kept me up reading until my eyes burned. It’s not a fast paced, shoot em’ up, hold your breath thriller but instead is a story that pulls you in slowly until you completely lose yourself in the world the author has created. I had no idea real tunnels existed beneath Las Vegas! What an eye opener. The villian is one of those creepy, smart Hannibal Lecter types, my favorite kind of bad guy. There’s also a bit of romance to offset the darkness and a really satisfying ending. I would recommend this book to any suspense lover!” –Mystery uthor Shannon Esposito
