Did You Know That?

That's photoshopped.

Please supply the evidence.

Roughly 50% of our cells are non-human - we are colonies...

You mean a bunch of microscopic bugs?

We all have cooties!

And they'll get worse before Jesus comes back!

Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Yes, we must shed these bodies of death.

Sounds like I'm not the only one who has an inner child. LOL

Mostly microscopic. A few are just about visible to the human eye (excluding obvious parasites).

Not if you think germs are bad for you. Most are beneficial or neutral, if you look after them.

True, good point.

Too bad all those bugs don't make much of a meal.

Some of them aid in digesting your meal.

I know a couple of loveable guys that would actually disagree with you on that one.

Did you know that water can boil and freeze at the same time?

At higher altitudes...?

I don't know.

It is called the triple point of water.

Did you know that our bodies inside the outer boundary of the skin only contain about 50% human matter?

What do you count as non human matter. I know that we contain more cells that are non human than human. But these are tiny compared to human. On average they count for approximately kg of matter.

Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa actually has her own mailbox at the Louvre because of all the love letters she receives.

I figured that I could just start a random scientific chat about random things that we learn that we never knew before. Today I learned that sand dollars were animals and actually (sometimes) alive. (I can't believe that I didn't know that before lol)

This is a great thread. There are many things I find out that I should have already known. I did find this out the other day that Eigengrau is the color most people see in the absence of light. Not sure how to pronounce it.
