fuck, I forgot all I have are nubs for thumbs since I was a small boy I had an accident around machinery.
13 foot long beard :rock:

I call bullshit. Pretty sure saliva can't dissolve metal and I can sure as hell taste that.

You might be tasting whatever is covering the outside of the metal.
Wait, if women's hearts beat faster, why do they live longer?
Is it 3 times when erect?
There is no way my penis is that long flaccid

lol you lie about your penis size
My penis is 10 feet long. ture sroty
[QUOTE=jesse194;26070941]- If the average male never shaved, his beard would be 13 feet long when he died.[/QUOTE]
Yeah this one is definitely bullshit. Most men's beards stop growing at a certain length. Mine can only be about half an inch long before it stops growing.
And there are plenty of cultures where men never shave (generally due to religious beliefs) and even the longest beards are not 13 feet long.
And "three times the length of your thumb" is not a good indicator for penis length. How much of your thumb are you supposed to measure? Down to the second knuckle? All the way to the base of your thumb near your wrist? To the bottom of the crease between your thumb and index finger?
Erect or not?
Also Megan Fox's penis must be huge.

[QUOTE=jesse194;26070941]

The heart rate is proportional to the mass of the heart. Men have bigger hearts in general. It's not a rule.
[QUOTE=jesse194;26070941]
- If the average male never shaved, his beard would be 13 feet long when he died.[/QUOTE]
Where did you get this random number? The average growth rate is ½ inch/month. That equals 360 inches in 60 years = 20 feet. But even so, you cannot grow your hair to an unlimited length even if you had all the time in the world. So this is just plain wrong.

No. The average cell is 10 µm. 2000 * 10 µm = 2 cm. That's less than an inch. And more than 10 times less than a square inch. A number like 25.000 seems more appropriate.

Ok, here's a fact that you can perfectly try at home:
Take the first phalanx of your fingers (The longer one) and put them together with the ones of your toes.
They have the exact same length.
When you feel like going to the bathroom, your bladder is actually only half-full.

Wait a min, for that penis one to be true my penis would need to be somewhere close to 7inches for me!

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;26071364]Wait, if women's hearts beat faster, why do they live longer?[/QUOTE]
One of main reasons is they have two X chromosomes. If one has a faulty gene the other X chromosome will negate the effect. Men only have 1, meaning they have no 'spare' X. This is also why more men are colour blind, alongside other genetic diseases.
lol i remember that from that chain mail i got in 1998

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;26071364]Wait, if women's hearts beat faster, why do they live longer?[/QUOTE]
They don't live longer, women and men have the exact same lifespan.
The only problem is that men have more traffic accidents, tend to smoke and drink more (They tend to have more accidents -> More deaths at relatively young age) and thus the "medium lifespan" (Which is just pure statistics) decreases for them, giving then the false assumption that women live longer.

Nah.. you're incorrect. Women live longer biologically. This is most likely because there are slightly more men being born, and thus women aren't as disposable as men. It's the magic of evolution.

If that's true, why menopause exists? Women stop being reproductively active at their 40s/50s and men are able to reproduce all their lifes (In theory, actually a 90 y/o man would most likely have a heart attack when trying to have sex)
I heard the whole "there's a bit more male newborns than women's" is because male offsprings tend to die at a very young age (their first year) a bit more easily than women, but I'm not sure if this is completely true.

My thumb is 3.7 inches long :smug:
penis one is true for me at least. I had to push it down so I could cover the full length.
Also, it was from the second knuckle so that means the whole thumb.
There's some crazy one about hitting some nerve in your thumb and becoming dizzy. It was on the "hacking life" poster/picture. The part that made me doubt it was the strange percentage of people they said were "unaffected" by this feat.
Your feces are actually edible and are actually more nutritious due to the body's absorption of excessive wastes along with SOME minerals
