35 Cool Human Body Things, As Shared By The People In This Online Thread

The human body is truly amazing. Did you know that when we're born, we have around 300 bones, yet by the time we grow up, some of them fuse together and we're left with only about 206? What's more, human bones are incredibly strong. You may have heard that they're stronger than steel, but did you know a block of bone the size of a matchbox can support up to 18,000 pounds of weight?

Perhaps you knew these facts; perhaps you didn't. That doesn't change the fact that our bodies can do stuff that is pretty darn impressive. Recently, people named a few more of these facts in an online thread after one netizen asked, "What is the coolest thing that the human body does?"

So, scroll down and see what other remarkable things your body is capable of – perhaps some of them will be new to you?
