Long Words, Sex, & Fast Women

I ran across a website about interesting facts.  I thought I would share a few of my favorites.

  1. There are a lot of interesting and random phobias out there.  However, the fear of long words, Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia may have the most ironic (and cruelest name).  So let’s say you do have this phobia. You’d be terrify to name your ailment. Kind of a conundrum.
  2. Having sex while sick can reduce a fever due to the sweat produced.  Everyone knows that sex is enjoyable. More than that, there are many other benefits to sex beyond just the fact that it is fun. One is that it can help with a fever. Sex works as a natural antihistamine that combats fever and even asthma.
  3. Women have been found to speak about 20,000 words per day while men only speak about 7,000 words. That’s quite the difference. It turns out that women speak faster as well—sometimes twice as fast.
