The average man's ***** is three times the length of his thumb.

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.

There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.

Women blink twice as often as men.

The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.

Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

The 'rule of thumb's' origin is generally put down to a law from a crap age gone by. It refers to the thickness of a 'weapon'(usually a stick or branch) that could be used legally to beat ones female partner with. If it was not as thick as 'the thumb' they used to measure the thickness it was fine, if it was thicker then it was naughty.

Obviously men during that time who needed to know this law were ****ing ***kers ;)
