Here's a fun fact that I heard about a while back. Hospitals occasionally use maggots to clean wounds, known as maggot debridement therapy.

Another fun medical fact. There is a disorder that is fairly common where women of certain blood types get pregnant to men of certain blood types. The baby will usually be fine but the woman's body reads it as a disease and develops an immune response. This means if the woman gets pregnant again by the same blood type the woman's immune system would attack the baby leading to miscarriage. This has killed thousands of babies each year until around 55 years ago when they found a rare anti-body in a single Australian blood donor which lead to the development of Anti-D. The donations from this single donor have saved over 2.4 million babies.

Fun fact about nipples. The reason men have nipples is that all people start off as women. Including Realist.

The French call "Chinese whispers ", "telephone arabe" (ie: Arabic telephone).

This clip illustrates the point:

Is that coz every Lebo has a different story for the same story seen by everyone but somehow manage to make the people who saw the actual factual event believe it happened the way the tenth Lebo described?

Sort of like how Chinese whispers got its name here. Apparently white lefties are more offended than actual Chinese people though.

Still used as heart medicine bro
Yeah, i think it was being looked at to help the blood flow to the heart and discovered it assisted with blood flow to somewhere else.

There have been may serendipitous/accidental discoveries like that over the years... Penicillin probably being the most famous.

Technically/factually speaking you’re incorrect.
To the untrained eye yes we start off as females. But all it is, is that the dick and balls don’t grow till later on so in the absence of them it looks like the baby is a girl.

LMAO. I guess male the nipple doesn't please the woman and female orgasms aren't required as the dude usually fires off before she has the chance to eh? ;)
