There’s a reason why people say that truth is stranger than fiction. Just when you think you know it all, things and people prove you wrong in the most unexpected ways. Take a look at some of such random facts:
1) The Guinness Book of World Records holds the record for being the book that is most often stolen from public libraries. Ironic, isn’t it?
2) Your nose is always in view. Technically you are always looking at your nose, but your brain just chooses to ignore it.
3) Honey is the only type of food that does not rot. A jar of honey will remain completely edible to humans for over 3000 years.
4) The mathematical probability of you being born is estimated to be about 1 in 400 trillion. Imagine! Value your life.
5) When you sneeze, the particles ejected out of your nostrils are traveling at 100 miles per hour. This is faster than the maximum run speed of a cheetah which is roughly 70-75 miles per hour.
6) Rats reproduce so quickly that within a year and a half, two rats could have over 1 million descendants.
7) The average four-year-old child will ask over 300 questions a day.
8) The reason why everyone complains about the quality of airplane food is that your sense of taste and smell decreases up to 50% during high-altitude flights.
9) There are more bacteria inside a human body than there are humans on Earth. On average, these microorganisms make up 2% of your total body mass.
10) Because of daily activities like walking, you are 1% shorter in the evening than in the morning.
