(Answers are below)

2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button.

3. A pack-a-day smoker will lose approximately two teeth every ten years.

4. People do not get sick from cold weather; it's from being indoors a lot more.

5. When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop, even your heart!

6. Only 7% of the population are lefties.

7. Forty people are sent to the hospital for dog bites every minute.

8. Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until they are two - six years old.

9. The average person over 50 will have spent five years waiting in lines.

13 . A coat hanger is 44 inches long when straightened.

14. The average computer user blinks seven times a minute.

15. Your feet are bigger in the afternoon than any other time of day.

16. Most of us have eaten a spider in our sleep.

17. The real reason ostriches stick their head in the sand is to search for water.

18. The only two animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the rabbit and the parrot.

19. John Travolta turned down the starring roles in 'An Officer and a Gentleman' and 'Tootsie.'

20. Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State Anthem.

21. In most television commercials advertising milk, a mixture of white paint and a little thinner is used in place of the milk.

22. Prince Charles and Prince William never travel on the same airplane, just in case there is a crash.

23. The first Harley Davidson motorcycle built in 1903 used a tomato can for a carburettor.

24. Most hospitals make money by selling the umbilical cords cut from women who give birth. They are used in vein transplant surgery.

25. Humphrey Bogart was related to Princess Diana. They were seventh cousins.

Some interesting ones there, I do dispute the amount of left handers though, as this number is increasing now we are not caning children anymore for writing with there left hand.
And yes my father still has the scars to prove it.

Heh heh ... yes, there are a few dubious ones there. As for being related to Bogie -- if he indeed is related to Diana, then I am related to him  ;)  One relation I know I am linked with is Sir Lawrence Olivier (distant cousin)  :y

Hitchcock, like everyone else, was born with a navel. Supposedly, he had a small section of his belly that contained the navel removed during some sort of surgery. This, I gather, is not that uncommon.

Apparently ...All mammals except platypusses (platypi?) and echidnas have a belly-button equivalent, where their umbilical cords were attached to their placentas - with cats and dogs and such, it just looks like a flat scar. In humans, it's attached by ligaments to the abdominal wall muscle and surrounded by fat so it makes a noticeable dimple. Unless lopped off by an enthusiastic surgeon  ::)
