Your brain has the potential to remember every thing you've seen, heard, and experienced... ever! Problem is you can't recall it all, but it's there.

But walking through a doorway can make you forget what you were going to do.

Your body is constantly replacing dead cells, and in 7 years you have replaced enough for an entirely new you.

It's estimated that your brain can hold as much as 100 terabytes of data. The best supercomputer in the world only holds 16TB of data, what a dummy.

Each individual sperm in one man's testicles could repopulate England in one shot, and the entire planet in 6 months.

Every person you have ever dreamt about, you have seen while awake.

On average, one person will consume around 50 tonnes of food in their lifetime.

To exercise your legs the same amount as your eyeballs, you'd need to walk 50 miles per day.

Your hair is so indestructible only fire will ever destroy it.

You were one single cell, for about 30 minutes.

That's where cancer comes from... Genetic code has a load of noise at the end which serves no purpose other than to act as a kind of fuse. Every time a cell splits, part of that "fuse" decays. When the fuse has all decayed, the decay starts eating into real genetic information and tumours start occuring.

We are basically evolved to deliberately die, which makes sense when you think about it: ecosystems cannot survive with an ever expanding population - populations need to stabilise at a level natural resources can sustain. Also, evolution needs death otherwise it stagnates.
