Below you will find 10 weird facts I recently found around the bookshelf.
They are contained in a book called "The Compass in Your Nose" by Marc McCutcheon, published by Jeffrey Tarcher in 1989.
1 - In almost all languages on the planet, mother's words begin with an "m" sound. This may be because "m" is the first consonant they learned, and almost always the simplest and first sound they made.
2 - It is estimated that 80% of Europeans' hair rotates counterclockwise behind the head, while most Japanese hair rotates in the opposite direction.
3 - When we hear ourselves speaking, the sound is connected by our bones. This slightly changed the tone of our voice. This explains why many of us can't identify our voices in the recording, but our friends can. Like our friends, the recorder only hears sound through air conduction.
4 - African Bushmen have no apparent hearing loss at the age of 60. 60% of ordinary college students have suffered a certain degree of high frequency hearing loss. This is because African bushmen live in a quiet environment, except for college students. Even the fetus is at risk. A Japanese study showed that fetuses exposed to high-frequency noise in the mother's womb mature more slowly and appear to have below-average weight.
5 - Odor-producing odorous amines that cause flatulence, usually with terrible odors, sputum and skatole, are also used in the production of perfumes, especially UV-screened varieties.
6 - Americans eat the following meals on average: 8,000 pounds of beef, 8,000 pounds of potatoes, 8,000 pounds of fresh vegetables, 20,000 eggs, 100,000 slices of bread, 7,000 pounds of sugar and 18,000 bottles of beer.
7 - Death. People are more afraid of death from 45 to 54 years old, and are more likely to die from 65 to 74 years old. 80% of deaths in the United States occur in hospitals. 93% of Japanese cremations die, and only 12% in the United States. 70% of Americans who die each year are 65 or older, and only 5% die before the age of 5.
8 - Your bone tissue is not eternal. It dies and is replaced. Every 7 years your body will grow into a complete skeleton.
9 - Chocolate contains the same chemical phenethylamine that we produced when we fell in love.

It creates a dream, a feeling of pleasure, and explains why we eat chocolate on Valentine's Day.
10 - Your eye muscles can exercise all your muscles. They move 100,000 times in any 24 hours. A person must walk 50 miles to exercise your legs to the same extent.
The 193-page book is full of amazing gems and strange research. Anyone who likes to learn the body, as well as those who work in the mind, will truly enjoy the amazing knowledge contained in it.
The book first introduces the human chronology and then divides it into four parts, including the population, our senses, our bodies and our existence.
Even the most intelligent brain fascia patients will find a lot of useful information in this treasure trove of trivia.
I hope that you like these strange, crazy, crazy facts. If you want to know how to make time to study such trivial things, instead of answering the boss's questions. Call, please contact me.
