These are facts that I randomly discovered. I only put down the grossest and most interesting. Enjoy!




Women fart three times more often than men.

The germs present in human feces can pass through up to ten layers of toilet paper.

Parasites count for 0.01% of your body weight.

>The germs present in human feces can pass through up to ten layers of toilet paper.

Not exactly... Given time, they will travel, yes, but one wipe and then a flush is not enough time for said germs to travel through to your fingertips.

Also, at least the Romans had toothpaste at all!

I find the one about pubic hairs to be quite nasty... *gag*

I hate any kind of hair that gets in my mouth, especially a pubic hair. ewwwww!

Oh God! Thats Gross! You Made Me Scared Of The Bacteria Eating You Inside Out! Can That Happen Or Does It Have A Low Chance Of Happening?

Here are a few:

The little black line on the end of your cooked shrimp is feces.

There is typically more bacteria strains on the mouth of a public drinking fountain than there is on a public toilet seat (because of the kids who put their mouth over the spout)

Anything that is past your stomach in your digestive system will be expelled after death (when it happens depends on exactly where in your digestive tract it is currently in)

Everyone has drank water that was at some point evaporated from urine. There is a good chance that in your life, you have drank water that was once dinosaur pee.

A lot of mothers will actually save their afterbirth, dry it out in the oven, crush it into powder, and put them in capsules to take as vitamins because of the nutrients in it.

A very common way people transmit pink eye is when they get small airborne fecal matter in their eye.

I was still eating.
Until I read this thread.
Now I'm not eating.

But still, those are interesting facts...

It's too bad I don't have any.

Eddy88 : That last one has always fascinated me. We actually discussed this as part of lecture in one of my chemistry courses (of all places). It turns out that the story of Antoine Lavoisier and his last contribution to science has no real merit. It is rumored that as his contribution, he decided to blink as many times as he could when he went through the guillotine. His friend caught his head and he counted him blinking 12 times after his decapitation. But that was never in any of his official biographies and there was no real scientific record of it. Being it was supposedly his last science experiment, the fact that it was not recorded makes the story hold no merit. 

But we discussed a recorded incident from 1905 when Beaurieux did this experiment with the murderer Languille. This is from his own words:

Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the guillotined man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds ... I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased.
The face relaxed, the lids half closed on the eyeballs, leaving only the white of the conjunctiva visible, exactly as in the dying whom we have occasion to see every day in the exercise of our profession, or as in those just dead.
It was then that I called in a strong, sharp voice: 'Languille!' I saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contractions ... Next Languille's eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves ... After several seconds, the eyelids closed again, slowly and evenly, and the head took on the same appearance as it had had before I called out.
It was at that point that I called out again and, once more, without any spasm, slowly, the eyelids lifted and undeniably living eyes fixed themselves on mine with perhaps even more penetration than the first time. Then there was a further closing of the eyelids, but now less complete. I attempted the effect of a third call; there was no further movement and the eyes took on the glazed look which they have in the dead.
I have just recounted to you with rigorous exactness what I was able to observe. The whole thing had lasted twenty-five to thirty seconds.

I could not imagine how terrifying it must have been for Beaurieux to see this while holding the head. Chills.

rcarter2 : ahah you and eddy is both obsessed with death here .I seen lots of vid of people being beheaded .Some with knives and one of them was a chainsaw.I really want to show a vid of it to you and eddy on private message but then you'll get freaked out.

death_nation : Not thanks... I use to get scared easily.

I don't know many gross facts but whatever:

If you swim for around one hour in a public pool you will intake 1/12 liters of urine.

When a person pees, a small deposit of urine enters the mouth through the saliva glands. It's your pee though, so whatevz.

Some brands of yogurt contain pork jelly. Sounds delicious right?

also, even though it's not a gross fact, some people find bats gross so I'll just put this one here:

Bats aren't actually blind, they can see stuff just like most other mammals can. Also dogs aren't color blind in the black and white sense, they can see blue, yellow, purple and a few other colors. Though I'm pretty sure they can't see red or green.

Here are more gross facts!

- Ever have a craving for a peanut butter sandwich? That thick, yummy, and creamy goodness. In one pound of peanut butter, it typically can contain up to 150 bug fragments and 5 rodent hairs. (You still want that sandwich? )

- House flies go to the bathroom roughly every 4.5 minutes. Think about that next time you see one fly on your delicious dinner. (EW! Every 4-5 minutes!)

- Through contact with door knobs, counter tops, and other daily objects your hand will come in contact with 15 penises a day. (No comments...)

-  We all like a man who gives a nice firm hand shake. However, you might want to think twice before returning the firm grip. Annually you will shake hands with 6 men who have recently masturbated and did not wash their hands. (Sweet God! )

Okay, I bet those were more gross than the previous facts, right? 

I have a few: 

when you fart in the bathtub, you release small amounts of fecal matter into the water

A person will inhale about one liter of another persons farts after being outside for the day

the longest recorded projectile vomit is 27 feet

Haha those facts are hard to believe, women who fart more?
and what is up with the bugs in your mouth, that just sounds disgusting.
I mean like a spider. Damn!

Hungry? Well, then search for another thread to read... Some gross facts about food:

- An allotment of the water you’ve been drinking has already been drunk by someone else. Maybe even more than once.

- The gelatin used in most leading brands of yogurt is derived from beef and/or pork.

- The strawberry flavor contains 50 different chemicals.

- Most fast food chains dip their French fries in sugar to give them that deliciously golden brown hue after frying.

Not so gross... But, Anyways: EW!.

You know, I do have a facts thread in the Science forum.

When flushed, the average toilet sprays a residue about five feet.
