The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
We have to break it to you that tongue is not the strongest muscle in the body. The tongue itself is a muscle and it contains at least eight different muscles which are intertwine by creating a very flexible matrix. The strongest muscle in the body is Masseter which is responsible for lifting up the jaw.

"I Am" is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
True, to make a sentence in English, it should both include a subject and predicate. In the sentence, ‘I am’, ‘I’ is subject and ‘am’ is a predicate and also expresses a complete thought. Thus, ‘I am’ is the shortest sentence in English.

When the moon is directly overhead, you will weigh slightly less.
Yes, this is true, as per the calculation it is said that a person will weigh 0.48g lighter for a 100kg person. When the moon is directly overhead, they are going to weigh 0.5g lighter as the moon attracts you in the same way it attracts water when it makes tides.

Chocolate can kill dogs, as it contains theobromine, which affects their heart and nervous system.
Chocolate consists of an ingredient called theobromine (similar to caffeine) that is toxic to dogs. Dogs are not capable of breaking it down or metabolizing theobromine as humans can. Theobromine majorly affects a dog’s central nervous system, heart and kidneys.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men!
This is pure myth! Blink rates are pretty identical of both the sexes. Scientists have suggested that the interval between blink is nearly about 2-10 seconds so an average person blinks about 10 times per minute.
Another interesting fact is that, we blink less frequently if our eyes are focused on one thing. For instance, while you read, you only blink three times per minute because while reading you are very focused.
