  Yeah, 4 is tricky socially and 8 is tricky anatomically. I touch it to something, as an alternative to holding it up.

  Using binary with bent/straight fingers gets you up to 31.

  Corpses of dead bacteria and dead tuna :)

  There are bacteria everywhere, indeed. Inside canned food, there are dead corpses of bacteria only, thankfully.

  Hypothetically, if you sterilized your mouth somehow to ideal cleanliness, it’d get contaminated next time you inhale unsterilized air.

  Let’s give a moment of appreciation to our immune systems. Otherwise, we’d be like …wikipedia.org/…/Severe_combined_immunodeficiency

  Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm: DDA generate some crazy plotlines, full of narrative, twists, and character development. How come no writer has converted a character’s story into a novel, yet?

  The ocean is not only very heavy, it’s also very long (tall, viewed sideways from POV of the Moon). This means the bits near the moon are more affected by gravity, pulled harder.

  There’s so much fun to be had with this effect. When the moon is overhead, you’re stretched out an unmeasurably tiny bit, for example. It also causes tall objects to orient themselves perpendicular to moon (one end is lighter, the other end is heavier. Just like a weighted stick floats upright in water).

  Oh, and then there’s the fact that your head (which could be seen as kinda momentarily orbiting the moon, with orbital period of once a month) has a higher orbital velocity than your feet, thus your head is constantly dragged sideways, and lying down helps alleviate this effect (only your nose is now pulled off your face, not your whole head). This is the reason why it’s easier to fall asleep when lying down.
