A Mexican general once had a funeral for his amputated leg, which was then stolen during riots.

The longest hair belongs to Hoo Sateow of Thailand, his hair measures 16 ft. 11in long!

Ever wonder? Ok some of these are gross, but interesting all the same....
Earwax: Earwax or cerumen, protect your ear from debris getting to far into the ear canal. Special glands in your canal generate ad ooze the wax for this purpose. And earwax also helps fight germs!
Hiccups: Your diaphragm is a muscle in your chest just below your lungs. When it contract of r tightens up your lungs expand and you inhale. When it loosens your lungs contract and exhale. With hiccups, your diaphragm suddenly jerks and you suck in air. That air flow causes the flap at the top of your throat to abrupty snap shut. That inhaling and snapping sound is a hiccup!
Boogers: Snot forms to protect your nasal passages and helps trap airborne particles from getting into your lungs. Your nose hair helps filter these things. Snot is made of salt and other body chemicals to make it thick so those tiny particles will stick to it. When snot becomes inundated with these particles it dries and hardens and you have generated a booger.
Sneezes: are the result of airborne particles that irritate your nasal passages or escape the snot and get into your lungs. a sneeze blasts these particles out. Your brain knows these particles are not good for your body!!
Eye Gunk: When you are awake your eye lashes work like windshield wipers to clean and remove tears from your eyes that drip down all the time to help lubricate your eye. When you are asleep your eyelashes aren't working to assist the removal of these tears. During the night tears, oils, sweat and other fun things accumulate in the corners of your eyes. As the night progresses, it can dry and become the crusties.
Zits: A pimple forms when a pore fills with sebum, an oil created by the follicles of your skin in the pores that hold your hairs. Sometimes the glands that form sebum go into overdrive and fill these pores to fast. This over abundance of sebum cause the hair to fall out and dead skin cells, dirt and bacteria get trapped underneath the sebum "plug", causing pus and pimple is formed. A blackhead is not dirt trapped, but a pore turned inside out that has been exposed to air!
