| Information here is estimates. No one can really know what the answer is, but then it really doesn't matter that much. I mean, can you really calculate how many times a person blinks it's eyes in a year? And as much as it may seem real, is it "exactly" right and accurate? |
Knowledge ---------------- |
| 1.The average human drinks about 15,800 gallons of water in a life time. 2.Humans can identify 10,000 or more smells. 3.The Australians are the world's greatest meat eaters. 4.A large bird such as a swan has about 25,000 feathers whereas a tiny bird like a hummingbird has only 1,000. 5.The average person blinks about 84 million times a year. 6.Another fact says that the average person blinks 25 times per minute, which works out to 13,140,00 blinks per year, which is nowhere near the other one. But according to this calculation, it means you aldo blink 25 times per minute at night, which is even way off. So might as well not beleive in ANY of this "junk". That's why it's in the Abstract section, which could be called the "Liar" section. So which fact is right and which one is wrong? Don't ask me, I never counted my blinkings for a year. 7.The first flower was thought to have been a magnolia, which appeared about 160 million years ago. 8.The average human walks around 115,000 miles in a lifetime. 9.
