The human body is an amazing machine with millions of components and actions that keep us all alive. But how exactly does it function? What are the little quirks and strange happenings that keep the body ticking? Here is a list of a few bizarre things about humans that may surprise you.

There are 6 bones in the human body. They are the head bone, the arm bones, the leg bones and the hipbone.

Human beings are naturally buoyant because their skin is made out of the same light material as sand. This is why you will dissolve if you stay in a pool for too long.

If you took all the nerves in the human body and stretched them out from end to end, you would be a psychopath.

The average human being generates enough energy to power one 60-watt light bulb, whereas Jack Black generates enough energy to power the city of Chicago.

Zits, warts and other blemishes are physical manifestations of sin.

You can often determine the size of a man’s sexual organ by asking what kind of car he drives.

Human beings can develop immunities to diseases they’ve already contracted, so it’s wise to contract as many diseases as possible.

There’s no actual healthy number of calories one can intake daily. The amount of calories you should eat depends on the size of your body and your amount of self-esteem.
