hundred bones but have only
two hundred and six by adulthood
certain suspicions must

stay lost.

-

the strongest muscle in the body
is the tongue which explains
our fascination with voice

eighty-five percent of our brains
are water so by floating
we may still know ourselves

every tooth has
fifty-five miles of canal in it
it is impossible to kill yourself
by holding

your breath.

-

the brain itself cannot feel pain
it operates on the same amount
of power as a ten watt light bulb

our noses can recognize fifty thousand
scents many strongly tied to memories
the ashes of a cremated body

average about
nine pounds.
