muscle
  • You sit on the biggest muscle in your body, the gluteus maximus a.k.a the butt. Each of the two cheeky muscle tips the scales at about two pounds (not including the overlying fat layer). The tiniest muscle, the stapedius of the middle ear, is just one-fifth of an inch long
  • The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue
  • Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap the mo**erf**k*r upside the head, and 2 muscles to move your lips and tell the person to kiss your ass

bones
  • You’re born with 300 bones, but when you get to be an adult, you only have 206. (apparently they fuse together such as the parietal, occipital of the skull) thanx Christie
  • 1/4 of the bones in your body, are in your feet
  • Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete. Wow… utterly amazing huh
  • The only jointless bone in your body is the hyoid bone in your throat
  • The sound you hear when you macho people crack your knuckles is actually the sound of nitrogen gas bubbles bursting.
