The cornea has no blood supply. It gets O2 from air. And cornflakes have more genes than we do..that just isn’t fair!
To demonstrate its worth the wait to find our life’s true courses; Danny DeVito used to be a hairdresser to corpses.

The moon and sun look equal sized, but we think you should know sir; The moons 400 times as small, and 400 times closer!
Of all the humans that have reached the age of 65, half of them since time began are currently alive.

As any parent knows who has a 4 year old today, Its proven that they ask 400 questions every day.
Ancestry research companies are careful not to say; That humans and bananas share half their DNA.

Bubblewrap was not designed to keep our objects safer; It began as someone’s plan to be 3-D wallpaper.
I itch and twitch when tasted by mosquitos that I meet; Cause I have just been bitten by their 47 teeth.

We shed 600,000 flakes per hour, thats how, they say, you and I replace our outer skin in 30 days.
You can’t hum when your nose pinched, and while you read this rhyme; You’ll find that you cannot swallow and breathe at the same time.

All humans radiate a light, the naked eye can’t see. And were taller in the mornings, because of gravity.
Our heartbeat syncs to music when we listen to the beat; Perhaps that’s why a quarter of our bones are in our feet!

Movie popcorn’s more per ounce than aged filet mignon. Explaining why our jaws contain the strongest muscles found.
Were likelier to be president than win the lottery. And by the numbers what encumbers man has come to be;
Not world wide hunger as before, but mass obesity.

We are a contradiction, which lastly is proved thus; There are more cars than people living in Los Angeles.
And just to show we trust (although we put the test to some): you pinched your nose and held it closed to see if you could hum.
