Captain Cook who is celebrated in Australia never actually received the rank Captain, I'm not 100% sure but I think he was promoted beyond captain.

The average human body barely uses 35% of its theoretical strength. It's possible for this to increase with performance training but it still will lay around 60 to 70% even in do or die situations

Yeah, thats because we have really strong muscles compared to our tendons and bones. If we unlock full strength we generally break one or the other of them. monkies are far stronger with the same muscle mass because they have better tendons

This one will be fairly topical.

The germans did send a Leopard 2 prototype to US for the trials for what now is considered the Abrams. The Leopard 2 sent wasn't built including Armour package ect in time so they simulated it with an extra heavy turret.

Actually to clarify I'm not as 100% sure about the turret part but the Leopard was actually competitive in the trials. It went up against GM and Chryslers Abrams prototype with Chrysler winning the contract

Nervous system won't allow it.

Can't touch the floor with your legs straight???

If you're getting near your feet its your nervous system preventing you going further, because it knows you're not fit enough. But you can override it.

Put your fists side by side, knuckles forward. Then squeeze them between your knees for 30 seconds. Then immediately try touch the floor!...go on!

Lovely examples of the golden ratio. It used to be a high faluting tailors trick to only measure your finger and calculate all your measurements

We have the gene that allows us to regrow whole limbs but it's turned off.

It's for the best as our bodies would require a serious amount of nutrition and generally not work well for us

Normal humans can only withstand 9’g’s for a few seconds

After that the blood rushes to the feet and the heart can’t pump it because it’s too heavy

This is meant to be true, but my wing span has been 2inches shorter than my height since I was about 16/17ish. It makes driving awkward at times. (I'm 6ft 6 in height)

The reason for the whole high society manners - stick out the baby finger while drinking - thing comes from syphilis. It causes loss of joint motion often starting in the baby finger. So it was good manners for everyone to do it to hide anyone who wanted to keep their syphilis a secret

I'm not entirely sure this one is true, but I've been told it various times by various natives so....

The reason Spanish people talk with a what we would call a lisp is because the king had a lisp and everyone had to talk like to save his embarrassment, it got handed down and down and now its just the language.
