I love the one about the sea otters. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteThese are some really cool facts that I had no clue about. Like spending 10% of our wake hours with our eyes closed. That is a really cool fact that I didn't know about but always wondered. And flowers can grow faster listening to music. Who would know that a flower could grow fast by listening to music that's really weird but cool at the same time. I also didn't know that your left lung is smaller than your right lung to make room for your heart. It makes sense but I never knew that! -Wesley Jordan (#1)
ReplyDeleteI just learned many different things, and have no idea how to handle it. Seriously, those are pretty cool. I knew about the heart mimicking music, but I never knew that you could link music to plant growth. Or that you body ate you after death... That's kinda odd, but still cool. I also didn't know about the left lung being smaller. I just figured your lungs were behind the heart, with the heart being a bit more centered in the middle of the chest cavity. Hooray for learning even more about the body!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I'm glad you posted this! I feel more knowledgeable now than I have in a while. Thanks! - Brittany Tucker
