1. The cockroach is the fastest animal on 6 legs, covering a meter a second. If it were human size, it could run at speeds of 300 mph.
2. The horseshoe crab has blue blood, which can be used to kill bacteria.
3. If all the gold in the ocean were mined, each person on Earth would get about 20 kgs of gold each.
4. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
5. When glass breaks, it showers towards and not away from the force that broke it.
6. A "hairbreadth away" is 1/48th of an inch. A "jiffy" is actually a proper time unit for 1/100th of a second!
I disagree with fact 1.
ReplyDeleteIf a cockroach is Human sized, according to the scale law, it'd be 1000 times larger, but only 100 times stronger. In short, it wouldn't be able to support its own weight, let alone run at 300 mi/h!!!
