The human brain has about 100,000,000,000 neurons and there are 1,000 to 10,000 synapses (connections) for each of these neurons. These synapses can transmit about 10 impulses per second, which works out at a maximum limit of 10 quadrillion synapse operations per second!

There have been 142 mass shootings with at least 4 victims suffering serious injuries or death in the US so far this year.

I don't get this one. Didn't 9 people just die like a week ago in the church? I don't get the "with at least 4 victims suffering serious injuries or death in the US so far this year" part of your comment.

so 4 victims (at least) sustaining at least serious injuries, if not dying.

I think he means that in every shooting, at least 4 people have been seriously injured or killed. Could be more, but it's always at least 4.

Grasshoppers turn into Locusts.

Locusts are the "swarming phase" of the Grasshopper life cycle, which only occurs under suitable drought conditions followed by rapid vegetation growth, and is caused by an increase in serotonin that dramatically changes the Grasshoppers behaviour.

You've never really seen your own face.

What is the mirror you speak of? Is this a new invention?

Just messing with you. What I mean is, you have never really seen your face, only a reflection. You can't look down and see it like your arm or feet for example.

This did blow my mind, but looking it up her wiki says her grandmother's sister married a Rothschild. So Helena Bonham Carter is not a Rothschild herself, but perhaps a cousin of some degree.

you have at least one molecule of air in your lungs from the time you were born that did not leave your body.
