10 Super Facts About the Human Heart

We have compiled a small collection of amazing facts about the heart for you to impress your loved one with! The heart is a truly amazing part of the human body. Without a working heart, we would stand no chance of living. The heart starts to beat before we are born, and will beat right up until our death.
1.    The average heart beats 72 times a minute! This adds up to around 100,000 times a day, and 3,600,000 a year!
2.    Every day the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles.
3.    The heart starts to beat at around four weeks after conception, and continues to do so until your death.

7.    A newborn has a much faster heartbeat, beating from 70 to 190 beats per minute.

FINALY BERMUDA TRIANGLE MYSTERY SOLVED...!!

Computer studies of ocean floors around the world, particularly the area known as The Bermuda Triangle, reveal evidence of massive methane explosions in the past. For years, believers in the paranormal, aliens, and other outlandish theories pointed to the the disappearance of ships and aircraft as an indicator of mysterious forces at work in the “Devil’s triangle.” Scientists have finally pointed the rest of us to a more plausible cause. The presence of methane hydrates indicates enormous eruptions of methane bubbles that would swamp a ship, and projected high into the air- take out flying airplanes, as well. Any ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the bubbles are big enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock aircraft out of the sky with little or no warning.
