DId you know that...

... a sperm has to move for about 7,5 to 10 cm to reach the egg cell?! The equivalent for a human would be 40 to 60km.

I thought this would fit, but I will stop talking about sperms from now on.

    The ironic thing is that the sperm that get to the egg is the most fit out of all of them, and yet I bet 90% of the population couldn't run 10 kms.
