Continuation of useless knowledge

By the time you are 75 years old, you will have spent, on average, 23
years sleeping.

On average, food travels 30 feet, beginning to end, through the
digestive tract.

In an average lifetime (74 years), a person takes approximately 600
million breaths and his heart beats 3 billion times.

The world's record for the longest sneezing attack is 978 days; for the
longest hiccuping attack: 69.5 years.

If you've ever been to Mexico, they say you shouldn't drink the water. The end result will be you visiting the bathroom faster than a chicken crossing the road with the runs. Because the water will give you the runs, they ended up calling it Montazuma's Revenge. I don't know the specific history, that is what I recall them telling me.
