Things You Didn't Know About Your Mouth
The eyes might be the windows to your soul, but your mouth is the centerpiece of your face. Out of your mouth come words of wisdom, laughter and other assorted noises. Some like to decorate their mouths with various lip colors or glosses, some have an attachment to Chapstick or other lip balms. Whatever the case may be, your mouth is very important for so many reasons. Without teeth, how would we chew gum? Without a voice, how would we express our opinions? Without our lips, how would we experience the magic of a first kiss? And we won't even go into the many interesting uses for our tongues...Though, did you know that when you do kiss someone for about 10 seconds, over 80 million bacteria are transferred? If you are kissing the same person, over time, your bodies become used to each other's bacteria..which might be the healthiest reason to practice monogamy!

Mind-blowing Facts About Life You Never Knew
Have you ever stopped to think about the details of life we take for granted in our everyday lives? Probably not. Most people never really know why our world is the way it is. They just think it’s that way. Many do not realize how our Earth really functions, or how roads and cities were made. Ask a person on the street what it takes for a car to move, you’ll get a blank stare or get an answer like: "you push your foot to the gas, duh." Or did you know Russia’s landmass is bigger than all of Pluto? Many people don't don't really know how or why the world works. But if you do, you’re part the 1 percent that does, so read this list with pride. But if you are like the rest of us, get ready to be astonished by all the facts about life you never knew.

Pass gas when you think no one can hear or smell? So let's say that you do a whole a range of 'horrible things.' Let's say that you are the picture of 'sloth'....what would happen if you found out that some of the unhealthy things you do, could actually be pretty positive in the long term?
