#2 A Natural Fear. On average, people tend to fear
spiders more than they do death. Some statistics show 50% of women and
10% of men suffer from a case of arachnophobia.
#3 No Humming Allowed. You actually can’t hum while you’re holding your nose closed. Try it out for yourself!
#4 A Numbers Game. Next to Three and Five, Four is the only number known to have the same amount of letters as its actual numeric value.
#5 Not Common Knowledge. Though the public education
system puts a major emphasis on sciences, only 55% of all Americans
know that the sun is actually a star.
#6 Rhyming And Scheming. No word in the English language or the refined installment of the Oxford Dictionary rhymes with orange, purple, month or silver.
#7 Endless Conversations. According to calculations,
the average woman speaks more than 7,000 words a day. The average man
only speaks about 2,000 words or less.
#8 A Seashell From The Seashore. Though it’s
commonly told otherwise, when you put a seashell next to your ear, you
actually hear the sound of your blood surging through your veins, not
the sound of the ocean.
#9 Cracking your knuckles isn’t so bad after all.
Remember when your mom scolded you for cracking your knuckles? “You’re
knuckles will get fat and you’ll get arthritis!” Cracking your knuckles
is actually beneficial for your bones. The sound is made by bursting gas
bubbles.
#10 How to stop your yawn. The next time you’re tired and let out a yawn, touch your tongue. It’s impossible to yawn if you touch your tongue!
