Did you know...?

I like sharing random facts with you guys, especially if they are quite amusing or weird. I don't exactly know if you particularly enjoy this stuff, but...
So I am going to give you a few random facts...
I would start with 'you can't lick your own elbow' but I guess lots of people know that already.

1. A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.
2. A shrimp's heart is in its head.
3. People say "bless you" because when you sneeze, your heart stops for a mili-second.
4. Sloths take 2 weeks too digest their food.
5. A duckbill platypus can store as many as six hundred worms in the pouches of its cheeks.
6. Human birth control pills work on gorillas
7. A group of 12 or more cows is called a flink.
8. Your stomach produces a new layer of mucus every 2 weeks - otherwise it would digest itself.
9. Most lipstick contains fish scales.
10. Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. It's the same with apples.

Well, there's your 10 interesting (or boring, you decide) facts.
I dare say I find some of them rather weird, hence why they are on here...
