* Mickey Mouse's original name was Mortimer. It was changed to Mickey in 1936. It was actually taken from Mickey Rooney. Disney's wife talked him into changing it.
* Over 16,000 people have mysteriously disappeared in the Alaska Triangle area since the 80's.
* Honey is the only type of food that does not rot. As a matter of fact, a jar of honey will remain completely edible to humans for over 3000 years.
* When you sneeze, the particles ejected out of your nostrils are traveling at 100 miles per hour. This is faster than the maximum run speed of a cheetah which is roughly 70-75 miles per hour.
* The average adult contains 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (or 7 octillion) atoms. This greatly exceeds the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy: 300,000,000,000 (or 3 hundred billion).

Probably due to a larger amount of air that is exchanged when breathing harder during exercise. More allergins and all.
