No I'm not in astro207. Yes I took it, in 2002 or something, which now makes me feel very old.

10 percent of all human beings ever born are alive at this very moment.
3 billion of the world’s 6 billion population are under the age of 25.
Giraffes often sleep for only 20 minutes in any 24 hours. They may sleep up to 2 hours (in spurts – not all at once), but this is rare. They never lie down.
An individual blood cell takes about 60 seconds to make a complete circuit of the body.
Each person sheds 40lbs of skin in his or her lifetime.
Around a million, billion neutrinos from the Sun will pass through your body while you read this sentence.
There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body.
There are more living organisms on the skin of each human than there are humans on the surface of the earth.

farther to the east than to the west. The earth spins in the opposite direction than the sun appears to move.

Definitely. Still wasn't as funny as him spinning on a chair for 5 minutes and trying to stay serious.

Someone once told me that if you look at every exhibit in The Louvre for 2 minutes, it would take you 2 years to go through the entire museum
Did you know that KFC stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken?

Autistic man draws detailed scenes from memory:

Wiltshire has the uncanny ability to draw and paint detailed landscapes and cityscapes entirely from memory.
Wiltshire can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architectural flourishes, and will do so with New York City after a brief helicopter ride.

I think youre confusing your time frames. My Art teacher told me it would take 2 weeks to go through the Louvre if you gave each piece of art enough time to take it all in.
