You will completely replace all of your skin in a single month.
If you feel like a new person on the first of the month then we have a reason why: you are, at least as far as your skin is concerned. Over the span of a month you will end up completely shedding and replacing all of your outer skin. That’s it, poof, a new layer like an onion is there. If that doesn’t completely trip you out we want you to imagine 40 pounds of anything. Now replace that ‘something’ with dead skin. Over the course of your lifetime your body will shed up to 40 pounds of skin right off of your body. Can you imagine if we were aware enough to see this constantly happening? We think it would drive people insane. An interesting fact, sure, but still the idea of shedding that much skin is completely disgusting. Then again these are mind blowing facts, not ones meant to comfort you.

Your nose can distinguish 50,000 different scents.
If you think you have a pretty good sniffer then the odds are that you are just average. Yet, average in this case is completely mind blowing. Scientists have discovered that the human nose can identify and distinguish between 50,000 different smells. These smells range in all types: severe to mild and most of them will come packaged with a memory. Smell is one of our strongest senses and the one that we most closely tie to our memories. We bet that you remember the spell of an ex-girlfriends perfume or your old boyfriends after shave. Those simple scents can bring back floods of memories to the forefront of our brain, often leading to an ensuing surge of neurotransmitters being fired off. Next time you are out and about just take a moment to breathe and smell the area around you.
