Your blood takes a very long trip through your body.

That’s enough to go around the world twice.

In a recent edition(a few years ago) of QI(BBC2) Alan Davies mentioned that but it was found to an urban myth and there is no actual evidence to suggest otherwise.

There is a fruit that tastes like chocolate pudding.
Black sapote has another irresistible name: the chocolate pudding fruit - the fruit—native to Central and South America—tastes like sweet custard with a hint of chocolate. When it's fully ripe, the flavor (and consistency) has been described as a dead ringer for chocolate pudding.

The mineral-rich water from this uncanny spring has the ability to give objects a stone-like appearance after a prolonged exposure.
