I was doing some research a couple days ago,<br />

and sometimes we can think we know more<br />

than we really do…. seriously, I definitely passed<br />

some time learning a few surprising fun facts,<br />

so I thought I’d share them with the Teen Look<br />

Family!<br />

<strong>November</strong> is a time to reflect and appreciate<br />

the soldiers before us who represented<br />

Canada during World War I, World War II, The<br />

Korean War, and peacekeeping missions. With<br />

Remembrance Day just around the corner, it’s<br />

important we pause to show respect and acknowledgement<br />

to those who have passed<br />

away while fighting for our country. We need<br />

to be aware of the veterans who fought for the<br />

peace we now have. Without them, we wouldn’t<br />

have the peaceful and calm life which is now<br />

presented to us, all due to men who sacrificed<br />

themselves during this time. Fathers, Uncles,<br />

Brothers, Cousins, Husbands and loved ones<br />

were lost. People who had even more purpose<br />

than they were able to express during their<br />

short time were lost. Soldiers got hurt, and more<br />

hearts were just torn, and that’s why we need to<br />

remember the veterans on the particular day of<br />

<strong>November</strong> 11th<br />

• Your eyes blink about every 6 seconds,<br />

which averages out to 14,000 blinks per<br />

day…..that is over 5 million blinks a year! (I<br />

am aware you are now feeling weird about<br />

blinking)<br />

• Triple whammy- (read this, it’s important.<br />

You’ll thank me when I save your life)<br />

• First off, if you sneeze too hard, you can<br />

fracture a rib…. secondly, if you keep your<br />

eyes open by force while sneezing, you<br />

might pop an eyeball out. Lastly? If you try<br />

to suppress a sneeze by plugging your nose,<br />

you can rupture a blood vessel in your head<br />

or neck and die. (I told you it’s very important!<br />

You should listen to me!)<br />

• Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase<br />

the bacteria in your ear by 700 times!<br />

• A healthy person’s bones are 4 times stronger<br />

than concrete.<br />

• While dreaming, (not daydreaming, I mean in<br />

your sleep) you become paralysed until you<br />

wake up.<br />

• Most lipstick contains fish or snake scales!<br />

(eww repelling)<br />

• There are at least 5 people in this world who<br />

look almost exactly like you, but there’s only<br />

a 0.003% chance you’ll meet one of them.<br />

• Only 1% of humans have red hair.<br />

• Just before falling asleep when you are almost<br />

unconscious, 95% of your brain begins<br />

thinking about things you want to have.<br />

• Over 42% of teens can text with their eyes<br />

completely shut.<br />
