Weird Wednesday

Today on weird Wednesday I'll show you 10 amazing yet weird facts about the human body. Am still finding it hard to believe some especially number 1.
1. When you blush, the lining of your stomach blushes too.
2. The human brain can read up to 1,000 words per minute.
3. Inside your belly button are thousands of bacteria that form an ecosystem the size of an entire rainforest.
4. When in love, the human brain releases the same cocktail of neurotransmitters and hormones that are released by amphetamines. This leads to increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and intense feelings of excitement.
5. You can see ultraviolet light, the ability is just filtered out by the eye's lens. Some people have undergone surgery to remove the lense and can detect ultraviolet light.
6. An adult is made up of 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (7 octillion) atoms. For perspective, there's a 'measly' 300,000,000,000 (300 billion) stars in our galaxy.
7. Our muscles are actually incredibly more powerful than they appear to be. Human strength is limited to protect our tendons and muscles from harming themselves. This limitation can be removed during an adrenaline rush, during which some people have lifted boulders or even cars off themselves.
8. Human bone is as strong as granite. A block of bone the size of a matchbox could support nine tonnes of weight.
9. If the human brain were a computer, it could perform 38 thousand-trillion operations per second. The world's most powerful supercomputer, BlueGene, can manage only .002% of that.
10. The focusing muscles in your eyes move around 100,000 times a day. To give your leg muscles the same workout, you'd need to walk 50 miles.
