LOL! No bad googling for me.

1. A baby is born every seven seconds.
2. Babies are born with swimming abilities and can naturally hold their breath. However, they shortly lose this instinct.
3. The life span of a tastebud is 10 days.
4. Babies and toddlers are, pound for pound, stronger than oxen. This is especially true of their legs.
5. A baby who's just started walking takes 176 steps a minute!
6. If left alone, 70% of birthmarks gradually fade away.
7. People with higher number of moles tend to live longer than people with lesser number of moles. (this seems backwards to me)
8. The average human produces 10,000 gallons of saliva in a lifetime.
9. During an average lifetime, a man will spend 3,350 hours removing 8.4 meters of stubble.
10. The typical person goes to the bathroom 6 times a day.

Come on you know you want to join!!!!

1.On average, the human body is covered with around 20 square feet of skin, which weighs about 6 pounds
2. Each hair on your head grows an average of 9 inches a year.
3. Human hair growth increases during the summer 10% because warm weather facilitates blood circulation, nourishing hair cells. In cold weather, blood is needed for warming internal organs and less is circulated to the skin.
4. An average person has about 100,000 hairs on their scalp. Redheads have 90,000 while blonds have 140,000; brunettes fall in between. ( I don't believe this for a second LOL-my hair is SO thin)
5. The middle fingernail grows faster because the longer the finger, the longer the nail.
6. Fingernails grow four times faster than toenails.
7. Human thighbones are stronger than concrete
8. The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm.
9. A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball.
10. One human hair can support 3kg.

Since I will be gone all weekend I wanted to share this in case anyone *cough michelle cough* finds out they are having multiples....

1. Up to 22% of twins are left-handed. In the general populace, only 10% are left-handed.

2. Did you know that where you live can help determine whether or not you conceive multiples? If you live in Massachusetts and Connecticut, the twinning rate is 25% higher than the general populace.

3. On the other hand, if you don't want twins, move to Hawaii. Their rate of twin births is 30% less than the rate in the rest of the nation.
Sponsors (article continues below)

4. If you are super adventurous and want triplets, Nebraska or New Jersey is the place for you to make your home. Their rate of triplets is double that of the rest of the nation.

5. The Yoruba tribe in Nigeria has the highest incidence of twinning in the entire world. Why? They eat lots of yams.

6. One amazing mother in Chile gave birth to the last of her 55 children in 1981. Her children includes five sets of triplets (all boys). Now that mom has her hands full!

7. Fraternal twins are much more common than identical twins. The chance of having twins is about 1 in 285.

8. Both Elvis Presley and Liberace were twins? Their siblings died at birth.

9. The famous advice columnists Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby) are twins.

10. William Shakespeare fathered a set of boy/girl twins.

11. Fraternal twins run in families. Identical twins are a fluke of nature.

12. There are 7 different types of twins: identical, fraternal, half-identical, mirror image twins, mixed chromosome twins, superfecundation, and superfetation. These other types are very rare.

13. Due to sonograms being more widely available earlier in pregnancy it is now estimated that for every live twin birth, there are at least 6 other "twins" that no one ever knew about due to the vanishing twin phenomenon.

14. As if the woman in Chile did not have enough children, a woman in Russia in the 1700's, gave birth to 16 sets of twins, in addition to 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quads!

15. The earliest twins were ever born? 22 weeks! Each twins was less than 12 inches long and weighed only slightly more than a pound.

16. Twins do not have to be born on the same dates. The longest gap between birth is 85 days.

17. 27 lbs. and 12oz. Total is the heaviest combined birth weight of any set of twins.

18. Cirque du Soleil employs the most sets of twins. (With the exception of course of the Twins restaurant in New York City where you can only be a waiter if you are an identical twin.)

19. Only 14% of women carry multiples past 37 weeks. Most women give birth prematurely.

20. 56% of all twin births are spontaneous. (Meaning the couple did not use fertility drugs.)

21. Only 16% of triplet births are spontaneous and only 5% of quadruplet births are spontaneous. Anything more than quadruplets is not spontaneous.

22. Twins do not have to have the same father. It is possible for a mother to release two eggs separately (as much as 24 days apart). Consequently, the twins could have different due dates.

23. 82% of multiples are delivered via c-section, while 5% are delivered vaginally. The rest are delivered both by c-section and vaginally.

24. You have a 50% chance of having a c-section when you are pregnant with twins. You have a 100% chance of having a c-section if you are pregnant with more than 2 babies.

25. Identical twins experience nearly identical brain wave patterns.

26. Conjoined twins occur in every 1 out of 400,000 twin births.

27. Once you've had fraternal twins, you are 3 to 4 times more likely to have another set!

28. The rate of identical twinning is much higher in mothers that are very young and very old.

any of you NY girls been to that restaurant?
