For an entire country, on average, Japan has the shortest people. The men average 5'5.2" and the women 5'0.2". But the shortest group of people are the so-called "pygmies," who average about 4.5 feet in height. However, they do not constitute a majority in the nations where they live. For example, the Mbuti are only 40,000 people among the Democratic Republic of Congo's population of 6 million, so the taller stature of the other citizens prevents DRC from having a short average height overall. The shortest individual person may be a 20 inch boy from Nepal.

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 - July 15, 1940) was a man who is the tallest person in history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. Wadlow is sometimes known as the Alton Giant or Giant of Illinois because of his upbringing in Alton, Illinois.

Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) in height and weighed 222 kg (490 lb) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood was due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

Before you curl up in bed tonight and doze off peacefully, here's some eye-opening news to ponder: Nightmares, at least among young adults, apparently occur more than twice as often as scientists previously thought. Furthermore, emotionally stable people have about the same number of nightmares as highly anxious individuals.

The researchers defined a nightmare as "a dream that frightens the dreamer," thus excluding some upsetting or sad dreams some view as nightmares, Wood says. Nearly 47 percent of the students reported at least one nightmare in their dream logs. Based on the logs, the estimated average annual number of nightmares for each student totaled 24 - about 2-1/2 times the annual frequency estimated from the retrospective reports.

Have you ever wondered what you smell when you "smell the roses" in the spring time? What makes a smell is something that is too small to see with your eyeball alone. It is even too small to be seen with a microscope! What you smell are tiny things called odor particles. Millions of them are floating around waiting to be sniffed by your nose!

You smell these odors through your nose which is almost like a huge cave built to smell, moisten, and filter the air you breathe. As you breathe in, the air enters through your nostrils which contain tiny little hairs that filter all kinds of things trying to enter your nose, even bugs! These little hairs are called cilia and you can pretend that they sweep all the dirt out of the nasal cavity, which is the big place the air passes through on it�s way to the lungs. After passing through the nasal cavity, the air passes through a thick layer of mucous to the olfactory bulb. There the smells are recognized because each smell molecule fits into a nerve cell like a lock and key. Then the cells send signals along your olfactory nerve to the brain. At the brain, they are interpreted as those sweet smelling flowers or that moldy cheese.

For 22 years, Doctors William Hartman and Marilyn Fithian of the Center for Marital and Sexual Studies in Long Beach, California, have been faithfully recording the orgasmic response in their laboratory. After hooking up subjects to blood-pressure and heart-rate monitors and various sensors in the vagina or anus, the doctors would sit by the beside and take copious notes as the subjects busied themselves.

In an attempt to head off accusations of prurience, they say such research is stupifyingly dull, saying they had to �struggle to stay awake.� However, they overcame the tedium to spend 10,000 hours in the laboratory. After several false starts (originally they had the subjects push a button whenever they had a orgasm, but during the heat of the moment they usually became too preoccupied to be concerned with the cause of research), the study continued apace, eventually encompassing 751 individuals.

The most orgasms they recorded in an hour for a woman is a staggering 134, while the best men could do was 16.
