The tongue is the only muscle attached at only one end.

The brain operates on about as much power as a 10 watt light bulb and that tongue has a print as unique as any fingerprint.

*Loosely interpreted: Astronauts can't belch - there is no gravity to separate liquid from gas in their stomachs.

Hell yeah. Not to mention... what happens to the other kind of gas. It too, relies on a 'gravitational separation'. I'm amazed that astronauts don't just explode themselves. Or upon entry.

The tooth is the only part of the human body that cannot heal itself.
I wonder if anyone has tried hypnosis for that. Hmm.

If you stop getting thirsty, you need to drink more water. When a human body is dehydrated, its thirst mechanism shuts off.

Is this really true? I don't think so. In 1978 I was told I needed surgery on my shoulders to relieve the excruciating pain. I waited eighteen years for them to heal themselves; it didn't happen.
