Our height varies not only with years of our life, but in the course of every day. It is greatest when we get up in the morning and after the night's rest. Between morning and evening, it generally shrinks about three quarters of an inch, sometimes even more. It we have done much walking during the day, our height may shrink as much as two or three-quarter of an inch. This is due to compression of the cartilage in our spine.

In twenty-four hours the average healthy adult breathes 23,000 times.
It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty three muscles to frown.
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have
produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

pleasure.
