Men vs. Women Women blink nearly twice as much as men; men's average body temperature is higher than that of women. Men can read smaller print, but women can hear better.       Earth Facts   The Earth weighs about 6,588,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons and travels through space at 66,700 miles per hour. Our planet has a total surface area of 197 million square miles and is the densest major body in the solar system.                             Tongue facts               The tongue is the strongest muscle in your body. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different. Nature has been a bit unfair in designing some animals' tongues: while a giraffe can clean its ears with its 21-inch tongue, a crocodile can't stick out its tongue at all.                                             Dreams             You spend around a third of your life sleeping. Over an average lifespan, a person will have up to 100,000 dreams with about 4 to 7 dreams every night. During REM, your skeletal muscles get paralyzed, so you do not act out your dreams. While adults spend 20% of the night dreaming, infants and small children dream half the time they are asleep. Children do not usually appear in their own dreams until age 3-4.                                  Longest Boxing Match            The longest recorded boxing match with gloves lasted 7 hours and 19 minutes, 110 rounds. The fight was between Andy Bowen and Jack Burke in Louisiana, USA on April 6 & 7, 1893. The fight was deemed a draw.                                       The Fastest Animal on Earth                          The Peregrine Falcon or, in North America, Duck Hawk is the fastest animal on earth. It is a medium-sized falcon about the size of a large crow, with a wingspan of about one meter (approximately 3 feet). A peregrine has been measured attaining dive speeds of 217mph (350km/h) in a 45 degree dive. Peregrines feed predominantly on other birds such as pigeons, shorebirds, starlings, other passerines, parrots, and ducks. They tackle their prey by flying high and diving at the victims at high velocity.
