If you brush your teeth twice a day and 2m each then you would spend 0.28% of your lifetime brushing. For some reason I had it in note.

I learnt that you cannot/ shouldn't pick up a human head, as its very unbalanced and will most likely roll out your hands.
That and the skin by your neck is so stretchy, you can rotate your head I think 3 times before the skin rips.
Both I learnt in reddit threads. Both got me weird looks at gatherings when I bring it up.

The reason why most people always feel tired even when they get a full night of sleep is because over time we acquire a "sleep debt" that we rarely make even. It usually starts around preschool age when napping stops becoming part of our daily routine.

The buried treasure of Montezuma is most likely near Kanab, Utah. Misfortune has met nearly anyone who has tried to get into the underwater cave it is suspected to be in.
People have tried to drill through the ground above the cave and they found gold on the drill bit, but the driller and his wife passed away from heart conditions and such that night. The hole was sealed with cement afterwards. Divers who searched for the treasure reported seeing ghosts of Native Americans and such guarding the area while others had their oxygen tanks shut off and their regulators ripped out.
Montezuma was known to have his men sacrificed when they buried treasure so that their spirits would guard it. I have personal connections to one of the first divers who went down there, but he, like most of the other divers, refuses to talk about what happened down there. He just warns people to leave it alone, and he hasn't been the same since he went down there.
I've been to that exact lake a few times in my life. It is the most eerily still place I've been to in that state and it has a highway right next to it for crying out loud. Something or someone wants the blood money of Montezuma to stay far away from modern human hands as possible.

Injecting elemental mercury into your veins to become a superhero, while colossally stupid, is not typically fatal. Mercury in its elemental form is not water-soluble and therefore doesn't get absorbed into the bloodstream.
