    Myoclonic jerks fascinate me. Those are the brief jerky movements of a limb or more when you are falling asleep. Apparently (and I am sure someone will correct me) it seems as the body systems are slowing for sleep, some primitive "fight or flight" part of the brain cannot distinguish between resting and death, so it sends an impulse to the muscle to MOVE!

    Actually I do not really care what the actual medical explanation is. This one is probably more interesting...

    The eyes are the middle of the head.

    Navel is middle of body.

    Average person is 5.5 heads in height (cartoon artists make Superman et al 6 heads for "heroic proportions").

    Outstretched thumb and little finger equals length of face.
