That's roughly what is estimated for Francium.

 

I thought it was man-made? Oh well :)

 

Water is unusual in that its boilling and melting points are much higher than other simmilar Hydrogen based compounds.

Water is the only compound known to be less dense as a solid then a liquid.

 

The only mammals to shed saltwater tears are aquatic mammals and humans.

Water is one of only a few substances that expand when they freeze.

 

Hydrogen is the most abundant eleemnt sin the universe, constituting almost 90% os all the atoms in the universe!

 

Helium in its liquid state has a feature called superfluidity, that means it experiences no friction and is able to climb out of containers! It does this untill it meets its own "level".

 

Neon and Helium are the only two elements with no compounds what so ever although ionic compounds such as [ce]HeD^{+}[/ce] and [ce](NeH)^{+}[/ce] have been formed!

Another fact on amphibians: One of the smallest frogs in the world has the largest tadpole, it grows backwards!

This is the African Paradoxical frog. It spends most of life cycle as a tadpole and only matures to reproduce.

During hibernation, a hedgehog's body temperature drops to about 5.5 degrees C. Its heart beats between 2 and 6 times a minute and it only takes from 1-3 breaths per minute.

 

However the mammal with the lowest body temperature during hiberantion is the hamster with a body temperature of 3.5 degrees C.

Tin has the most stable isotopes of any element (10 of them).

Cesium Hydroxide has the highest pH possible, 15, and can dissolve glass.

Glass is not actually solid but is a Thixotropic Liquid.

Viruses may some day be used to fight colds via genetic engineering.

That's not a fact... that's wishful thinking.

 

Its a fact, its already being tested as such and is therefor a fact.

 

Another one seeing as I'm posting.

 

Helium is the only known element that does not form a solid state at standard pressure no matter what temperature you try due to its weak inter-molecular forces!
