A Few Random Facts

These are just a few random facts that I thought were interesting enough to post.

  • The acid in your stomach is so strong that it can dissolve steel razor blades – it’s still not a good
    idea to eat them, though!
  • Anne Boleyn, one of King Henry VIII’s six wives, had six
    fingers on each hand and an extra nipple.This was claimed to be evidence of witchcraft and was used
    in her trial when Henry had her executed
    in 1536.
  • Romans used to clean their teeth with urine,and it was used as a mouthwash until the 1800s in
    Europe.
  • The gunge that collects in your belly button is
    a mix of dirt, dead skin cells and oils
    from your body.
  • When you die, the bacteria in your gut start to eat away at you from the inside.
