There may be a lot we don’t know, but here are a few interesting facts that we’ve got covered. Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour. Hair and Nails While they’re not a living part of your body, most people spend a good amount of time caring for their hair and nails. Facial hair grows faster than any other hair on the body. Internal Organs Though we may not give them much thought unless they’re bothering us, our internal organs are what allow us to go on eating, breathing and walking around. The largest internal organ is the small intestine. Bodily Functions We may not always like to talk about them, but everyone has to deal with bodily functions on a daily basis. Sneezes regularly exceed 100 mph. Sex and Reproduction As taboo as it may be in some places, sex is an important part of human life as a facet of relationships and the means to reproduce. Senses
The flea's knees (and every other part of its anatomy): Stunning close-ups of see-through water insects By Daniel Miller Published: 13:57 GMT, 4 May 2013 | Updated: 15:52 GMT, 4 May 2013 These stunning images may look like extras from a sci-fi movie - but they are actually close up images of water fleas and other tiny creatures. Photographer and marine biologist Daniel Stoupin takes incredibly close-up photographs of the miniscule marine creatures - so they become almost completely transparent. His photos show everything from sea plants to water fleas and mosquitoes, all of which are photographed so closely that they are barely recognisable.

- StumbleUpon How to Build a Marble Machine The centerpiece for this marble machine are the gears. They lift dozens of marbles at a time and send them down an amazing track of twists and turns. At first glance I thought this creation was some sort of wooden gear clock. The only thing that gave it away was the fact there were no hands on the face, not to mention it was missing numbers. If you go to the project site (click on the image) you will find an array of chutes and barrels and other things for the balls to do on their way down. It inspires me to think about designing a clock that has a marble run aspect. I have seen some marble machines that are built to tell the time. I counted the Ball Bearings in the gears.
Styrofoam stands no chance against the Red Hot Nickel Ball If you haven’t been following the adventures of the Red Hot Nickel Ball (RHNB) then you have been missing out on one of the better things on the internet. The premise of the RHNB is very simple: a brave, blow torch-owning man heats up a nickel sphere until it’s — literally — red hot. He then gets the sphere and drops it on, through, and into different things. In its latest adventure the Red Hot Nickel Ball speeds through a piece of styrofoam and drops into a metal bowl filled with cold water. Pure nickel melts at 1455°C (2651°F), so we know the RHNB is pretty hot, but not quite in that range. The heat applied in the videos is enough to make the ball quite dangerous to be around — especially given the spherical shape — but not enough to deform it when it makes an impact. As for the greatest hits, here goes! I don’t tend to go for seasonal, holiday-themed content, but the RHNB going surprisingly slowly through a chocolate Easter bunny was incredible:
10 places where anyone can learn to code Teens, tweens and kids are often referred to as “digital natives.” Having grown up with the Internet, smartphones and tablets, they’re often extraordinarily adept at interacting with digital technology. But Mitch Resnick, who spoke at TEDxBeaconStreet, is skeptical of this descriptor. Mitch Resnick: Let's teach kids to code Fluency, Resnick proposes in this TED Talk, comes not through interacting with new technologies, but through creating them. The point isn’t to create a generation of programmers, Resnick argues. In his talk, Resnick describes Scratch, the programming software that he and a research group at MIT Media Lab developed to allow people to easily create and share their own interactive games and animations. At Codecademy, you can take lessons on writing simple commands in JavaScript, HTML and CSS, Python and Ruby. While we’re at it: bonus!
