    Your first wrist bone does not start to grow until about 2.5 months on average and the last one doesn't start to grow until 12 years old. For the first 6 years of your life you only have half your wrist bones and they aren't complete.

    According to Matthew White, in the Congo Free State under Belgian administration, when corporate security squads went on raids to punish those who resisted control or who did not produce rubber, ivory, or timber, those security squads had to prove they had not wasted ammunition by bringing back the severed hand of a native African worker for each bullet used.

    x% of y is the same as y% of x.

    For example, 50% of 12 is the same thing as 12% of 50, which is 6.

    How many of you tried it and found its true?

    So you think of a number. Double it, then get rid of the doubling by dividing. Then subtract the number. Leaving 6 divided by 2 which is always 3. Nice.

    [(n * 2) / 2] - n = 0
    6 / 2 = 3

    The cells in your body completely regenerate the entire body in about 6-7 years. So, at some point, if you have an ex you hate, it'll be like they never touched you.

    That's a looooong time
