True.. though I think it's more like.. 10 days. We were talking about that the other day after watching "28 Weeks Later".

It's definitely true about cockroaches. Yes, babies don't develop kneecaps fully until between ages 2 and 6. Also, newborns can breathe and swallow at the same time.
I am a useless information purveyor, see if you knew some of these:
- Spain literally means "the land of rabbits".
- To "testify" was based on men in the Roman court swearing to a statement made by swearing on their testicles.
- Pogonophobia is the fear of beards.
- It is illegal to be a prostitute in Siena, Italy, if your name is Mary.
- Iguanas, koalas and Komodo dragons all have two penises.
- A rat can last longer without water than a camel. They also cannot vomit.
- Blueberry Jelly Bellies were created especially for Ronald Reagan.
- The placement of a donkey's eyes in its head enables it to see all four feet at all times.

I don't think awsome is the right word for it.


Disturbing would be a better fit.

Actually, they have four pieces of cartilage that haven't ossified completely (aka almost bone) for a skull, but they haven't fused yet so that's why babies have a so-called 'soft spot' on the top of their heads. The Saggital, Lambdoidal and Coronal sutures haven't formed yet.
I forgot to mention that Pre-Med was my runner-up choice for a major. haha
