A medical curiosity was David Kennison, who was born in 1736 and participated in the Boston Tea Party. At the age of seventy-six, serving in the War of 1812, he lost a hand to a gunshot wound. Later, a tree fell on him, and fractured his skull. Some years later, while training soldiers in the use of a cannon, something went wrong and an explosion shattered his legs. He recovered. Yet later, a horse damaged his face. He died peacefully in 1851 at the age of 115.
Scientists are working on the possibility of removing a dying woman's ovaries and saving the eggs so that the woman can still have children, even after she is dead.

One out of every four Americans has a blood cholesterol level high enough to be risking heart attack.
The sound of a sewing needle falling on a table is so slight that the vibrations may move your eardrums less than the width of a molecule. Yet in a quiet room, you can hear it. The amount of energy reaching your ears has been estimated at less than a millionth of a billionth of a watt.
Children have far more colds than adults. One theory to explain this is that we acquire a permanent immunity to a cold once we get it. But there are many variations of the virus, we'd have to catch one of each kind of cold before we would be immune to all colds.
One out of every 100 cells in our body is for defense against disease. So if you weigh 150 pounds, 1-1/2 pounds of you are for self-defense.
