I just heard this on the radio and it actually left me staring into space considering it for a minute..."there are 17 million flies for every one human on the planet"

ARGH what!

Anybody got any other amazing facts that left them reeling?

That is one of my favourite facts too.

Othe space fact i love is that 90% of the human body is an element other than hydrogen. Only place in the universe elements heavier than hydrogen and helium are formed is in the core of a star. And that star must explode to distribute those elements.

So at least 90% of your body has been through an exploding star at some point in the past.
