My daughters top ten was the #1 search on my site for the last week so I thought it deserved it’s own category on MommyMachelle. Kourtnee is of course elated and has agreed to share these important facts with us on a weekly basis. So here we go another top ten facts my teenager finds interesting.
Kourtnee’s Top Ten Most Interesting Facts:
- #1-The human body can survive longer without food than without sleep. While starvation takes a few weeks you would die after about 10 days without sleep.
- #2-With more than 250,000 sweat glands each, your feet are among the most perspiring parts of the body. In one day, each foot can produce more than a pint of sweat! (Now she knows why her feet are so stinky!!)
- #3-The 57 on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had.
- #4-Karaoke means “empty orchestra” in Japanese.
- #5-1 in 5,000 north Atlantic lobsters are born bright blue.
- #6-You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching TV.
- #7-Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet (2 m) away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. (I’m sure the dentist also recommends my 3 year old stop putting the toothbrush in the toilet.)
- #8-A car that shifts manually gets 2 miles more per gallon of gas than a car with automatic shift.
- #9-Children grow faster in the springtime.
- #10-On average, there are 178 sesame seeds on each McDonald’s Big Mac bun.
Thanks for the contribution Kourtnee, you have outdone yourself yet again!

Well I have to say that I love the top ten facts every week as again this is interesting to know and again I would not take the time to research any of this myself, but it is fun to find these things out!!!!
I have to laugh because I to would not look for stats on stuff like this but it is fun to read them, it is even funnier to think my daughter finds them important!
