Humans are (really) weird... 1. Most westerners consume 50 TONS of food and 50,000 liters of liquid in their lifetime. 2. The muscles that control your eyes contract about 100,000 times a day (thats the equivalent of giving your legs a workout by walking 50 miles). 3. It costs the U.S. Mint almost twice as much to mint each penny and nickel as the coins are actually worth. Taxpayers lost over $100 million in 2013 just through the coins being made. 4. The Dance Fever of 1518 was a month-long plague of inexplicable dancing in Strasbourg, in which hundreds of people danced for about a month for no apparent reason. Several of them danced themselves to death. 5. During World War II, the crew of the British submarine HMS Trident kept a fully grown reindeer called Pollyanna aboard their vessel for six weeks (it was a gift from the Russians). thefriends.org/ai1ec_event/books-bars-the-humans/
