I put medical knowledge that can be used into conversation without looking like a "nerd".

The biggest cell of your body are some neurones, their body is in the middle of your backbone and their axons goes to the feet.
>so more than a meter.

If you could count them, there's a bit more bacteria in a healthy body than cells.
> if they were put together the bacteria would weight more-less 1kg.

A normal weighted human being that totally stop eating can die of starvation before having consumed all of his fat.

If f:D-->D where D is the unit disc so that f(0)=a=/=0, then f has no zero inside the disc |z|<|a|. For suppose otherwise, and consider the automorphism of the disc g_a(z)=a-z/1-a^-z, then g_aof(0)=0, so then by the schwartz lemme the modulus of this composition is less than the modulus of the root. But then |a|<|a| which is absurd. Therefore the proposition follows. QED

as a breeder of exhibition quality ducks I can assure you this is incorrect. every once in a while when a Drake is in with 2 or more hens a hen will bite his penis mistaking it for food. when this happens the Drake becomes incapable of retracing his penis and it becomes infected. left untreated this will kill your Drake. the way to fix this is to flip the Drake over and cut off his penis were it is infected. you can tell the difference because the healthy penis is pinkish were as the infected penis is a grey-white. it takes just under a year for the Drake to recover to breeding status and fertility will be slightly affected but not horribly so.

now you can say you learned something.
