Your foot is the same length as your arm from your elbow to your wrist. It is really funny to see a bunch of drunk people trying to put their foot on their arm!!!

Zoology/Biochemistry factoid: The liver of Polar Bears has so much vitamin K (yes, there is such a vitamin) that it is poisonous [good thing to remember if you are starving to death in the arctic and get desperate enough to shoot a polar bear!]

Heard this one in a bar at Woods Hole from a physiologist:
alcohol inhibits antidiuretic hormone, thus making you pee. To counteract this effect, drink three times as much water as alcohol.

it's not really a factoid and it is more related to physical science:watts(the unit of power) the unit of power? but say it like a question so it seems like you are asking what's the unit of power!!

Adrenaline can do two things to you in a stressful situation.
If you're good at something, performance anxiety and then adrenaline will make you even better!
If you're not so good, you'll be worse off.
Don't do this.
Be yourself!
Stick to what you DO know, and you'll shine!

Alligators' sex is determined by the temperature at time of their hatching.
Some fish even change sex according to temperature.
