There are 72 kms - 45 miles - of nerves in the skin of a human being.
Humans shed and regrow outer skin cells about every 27 days - the equivalent of almost 1000 new skins in a lifetime.
The average human body contains enough iron to make a six-inch nail, sulfur to kill all the fleas on an average dog, carbon to make 900 pencils, fat to make seven bars of soap, phosphorus to make 2,200 match heads and water to fill a 38 litre - 10-gallon drum.
The average person falls asleep in seven minutes and is an inch taller come morning time.
