Strange But True…

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


To start the day…well my day as most of you are still asleep, a few medical oddities:

  • You are born with more bones than you have now. Many of the 350 individual bones that you are born with fuse over time leaving you with the 206 that you have as an adult.
  • If laid end to end, and including all the little capillaries, the blood vessels in your body would extend to over 75,000 miles.
  • Your small intestine is far longer than your large intestine, though it is narrower. The surface area of the small intestine is about the same size as a tennis court…good job it has all those tiny folds inside it or getting clothes to fit would be an issue!
  • An average heart will beat over 2 billion times in a 70 year lifespan.
  • Although it contains no bone the condition fractured penis does exist. A severe bend applied to an erect penis can tear a membrane called the tunica albuginea. there is usually a popping sound, severe pain and later swelling and bruising.
  • The longest case of hiccoughs lasted 68 years. Charles Osborne (1894-1991) of Anthon, Iowa, the US, started hiccupping in 1922 while attempting to weigh a hog before slaughtering it. He was unable to find a cure, and continued hiccupping until February 1990, a total of 68 years.

Okay, time to go and learn how to dab and dot plasterboard onto the walls…the exciting life I lead eh.

I genuinely cannot wait for this renovation to be finished. I want to type without feeling the dust on the keyboard. I want to get up in a morning and not have to wash dishes before using them ( I have no kitchen, just a room with a sink and archaic cooker). I want flooring and not to have to cover the beds with dust sheets.

One day, I have to believe this or I will go mad.

Take Care
