A few pieces...copied this from a newsletter I receive:

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but out nose and ears never stop growing.

The white part of your fingernail is called the lunula.

The talus is the second largest bone in the foot.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.(There isn't a reason given for this, but I think I know why! hehehe)

You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching tv.

The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.

Each square inch of human skin consists of twenty feet of blood vessels.

The two lines that connect your top lip to the bottom of your nose are known as the philtrum.

The hyoid bone, in your throat, is the only bone in the body not attached to another bone.

The little lump of flesh just forward of your ear canal, right next to your temple, is called the tragus.

And this is the one I liked best...Human hair is estimated to grow at 0.00000001 miles (sorry don't know that in kilometers) per hour.
