What is the creepiest fact you know about the human body?

0:04.0

If you wear a glass which vertically inverts your vision long enough, your brain will correct it and you'll see things normally.

0:10.0

But when you take those glasses off, everything will look upside down again until the brain recalibrates again.

0:16.0

It takes a couple of hours for some people. It takes days for other people.

0:20.0

The inside of your

0:21.9

cheek and your rectum are lined by the same type of tissue. Go ahead, feel. Cheek first, preferably.

0:29.5

Bodies will move as they're coming out of rigor. I've been bumped by a few. I'm a coroner.

0:34.8

Bodies can also make sounds as the remaining air and gas leaves.

0:38.6

2 a.m. in the morgue and I thought I was in Call of Duty zombies.

0:42.4

Good to know. I worked in the ICU and sometimes patients die and we keep them in a room

0:46.6

until they're transported to pathology. If they moved, I would scream.

0:52.5

Our brain filters out a lot of what we see, along with just straight make and crap up based

That whole extrapolation allows your brain to estimate distances automatically and know the

1:05.7

positioning of your arms and legs at all time.

1:08.3

You can close your eyes and touch your nose with your finger without much

1:11.1

thought involved. If a stroke knocks out that part of your brain, you have dysmetria,

1:15.8

where you have a lot of difficulty subconsciously measuring distances. We don't just have one sphincter.

1:22.2

When Do-Doo comes along, it passes another inner sphincter which isn't under voluntary control,

1:29.0

meaning you can constrict and open with your outer sphincter, but not the inner one. And reading this, we've tried that,

1:34.2

and that's okay. Sensory cells can detect whether you're about to pass gas or solid. From
