Since I'm taking a very interesting Human Biology class, I thought that I would share some interesting facts with you guys. So, here's what I can recall, as of now.
The average person only uses one of their kidneys in their lifetime.
A liver can regenerate back to full size, even if about half of it is removed.
Fat cells can shrink, but never go away naturally.
Botulism and Tetnus are the most toxic natural substances; a concentrated spoonful is enough to kill two million people.
The appendix is thought to have once been part of the lymph (immune) system.
Bones store fat and make blood.
Children's Aspirin helps you survive a heart attack.

pretty neat stuff I've always wondered what obsolete system the apendix is a leftover from... kinda like how we have tailbones, but not much of them. I was half expecting when you said "anatomy" some nifty drawing perportions etc. XD
