It blew my mind to discover that people live with wild animals that could kill them such as tigers and lions.

I did not know Morocco was in Africa

As a child I didn't know so many cacs lived in South Africa

I was shocked to discover that a ships typical top speed is 20 knots which is only 23 mph

I was shocked when I discovered that in science they thought about doing head transplants

I was shocked to find out what typically happens when you donate your body to science ( basically you are mostly used to practice plastic surgery)

The human genome, the genetic code in each human cell, contains 23 DNA molecules each containing from 500 thousand to 2.5 million nucleotide pairs. DNA molecules of this size are 1.7 to 8.5 cm long when uncoiled, or about 5 cm on average.

You have about 10 trillion cells in your body, so if you stretched the DNA in all the cells out, end to end, they'd stretch over 744 million miles. The moon is only about 250,000 miles away, so all your DNA would stretch to the moon and back alomst 1500 times. The sun is 93,000,000 miles away, so your DNA would reach there and back about 4 times!

:whew:
