Grapefruit scent will make middle aged women appear six years younger to men. The perception is not reciprocal and the grapefruit scent on men has no effect on women's perception.

Too bad I picked strawberry.

Please I've said this many times on many threads if you don't know wtf you're talking about I suggest you don't say anything cause 9 times out of 10 you'll make yourself look like a dumbshit. I'm not trying to be mean it's just that I have no tolerance for people trying to be smartasses.
First of all there's no such muscle called the jaw muscle, idiot. The jaw is moved by a number of different muscles, none of which are called the 'jaw muscle'.
And techincally, the strongest muscle in the body relative to size IS the tonge. -

If you ate too many carrots you would turn orange.
this is true.
this phenomenon is called hypercarotenemia and the orange tint (sometimes yellow or yellow-orange) shows up mostly in the palms of the hands.
this happens when a person eat too much carrots and the body does not use all of the beta-carotene from the carrots, hence the skin turns orange.
but the skin discoloration is harmless.
just stop eating so much carrots, and the skin will return to its original colour. -
holy shit this is funnyOriginally posted by angel7030:Those who fart loudly are frank and honest peoples

(i'll ignore ones i don't have a clue about)
Thinking about your muscles can make you stronger.
Yes and no. Simply thinking about a muscle won't make it stronger, however research has shown if you concentrate on the muscle you are excersising it can help
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
I would question it... heard it but don't know about the research... what constitutes an intelligent person in this?
We are about 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. Layers of cartilage in the joints gets compressed during the day.
Don't know that it's 1cm but that's true.
The strongest muscle in the human body is the tongue.
Myth. Relative to its size the tongue is the strongest but it is not outright the strongest muscle in the body.
Your body is creating and killing 15 million red blood cells per second!
I believe it's closer to 2 million but still an amazing rate
If you ate too many carrots you would turn orange.
Possibly... you'd probably die of vitamin A poisoning before your entire body turned orange though
You breathe about 10 million times a year.
Oo experiment time. I shall calculate how many I would... 7,338,240... not too far off.
After eating too much, your hearing is less sharp.
Not certain on this one but I would imagine it's true - after eating blood goes to the stomach and intestines to aid digestion so other parts of the body will be neglected... it's sort of the opposite way round to what we commonly call 'butterflies'
There are more people alive today than have ever died.
Assuming average birth rate has always been higher than average death rate... sure
The human body is better suited to two four-hour sleep cycles than one eight-hour one.
Methinks it varies person to person and it doesn't matter so much if you have two cycles consecutively it's just if you wake up in the middle of one
The hardest bone in the human body is the jawbone.
I think it's actually the temporal bone on the side of your skull but I could be wrong
