[www.keralites.net] : Amazing facts (ii)I

About half of the bones in the human body are located in the hands and feet.       Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea because the water had too much Salt in it.       The blue whale is the largest animal on earth. The heart of a blue whale is as big as a car, and it's tongue is as long a an elephant.        Pearls are found in oysters. The largest pearl ever found was 620 carats.       A human body is made up of trillions of cells. Different parts of the body are made of different kinds of cells.       Muscles made up about half of the human body weight.       If one were to remove the skin of an adult human, it would weigh about 2.5 Killograms.       There are 206 bones in a human skeleton       About 70 percent of the human body weight is water.       The only 2 animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the rabbit and the parrot.       A whip makes  a cracking sound because its tip moves faster than the speed of the sound.       "Almost" is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order.       Snails produce a colourless, sticky discharge that forms a protective carpet under them.They can crawl along the edge of a razor without cutting themselves.     The word "listen" contains the same letters as the word "silent".     A hippopotamus can run faster than a man.     The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is "uncopyrightable".     Electricity doesn't move through a wire but through a field around the wire.     Thank you,Aum V.Subramanian Aum      .
