The strongest muscle in the human body is the jaw.
We actually have two interesting facts to break down here. First off, if anyone asked you to guess the strongest muscle in the body prior to reading this fact, what would you have picked? Most people would look to the legs or the arms and they would be pretty much dead wrong. The jaw muscle, or masseter, is the most dominant and strongest muscle in your entire body — and this makes a ton of sense. From a purely evolutionary standpoint what could be more important than being able to bite into potential food? The second half of this fact is that the human body is much stronger than we realize, jaw included. We subconsciously prevent ourselves from using our complete strength so as to prevent muscles and tendons from rending or suffering damage. In times of great need or stress our body will override these defensive measures and output strength in massive quantities with reports of people lifting cars or boulders being completely true.

Your brain can power a light bulb.
No, you don’t have the spirit of Pikachu living inside of your body and no you aren’t a real superhero. Still, scientists have discovered that an awake human brain will produce enough electricity in order to power a small light bulb. Of course there is no way to harness this energy in any meaningful way, but it does show just how hard your brain is working. When you are awake and aware, your brain is put into such overdrive, constantly whizzing and whirring around different ideas, that the electrical charge builds up enough to turn a small light bulb on. Not convinced? You should be: your brain is the fastest and most powerful processor on the planet.
