A camel can lose up to 30% of its body weight in perspiration and continue to cross the desert. A human would die of heat shock after sweating away only 12% of body weight.
The number of centenarians (100 years and older) has more than doubled since 1980 to about 50,000. Four in five were women.
(And I really didn't need to know about the 10 spiders!)
Good discussion here.

I found a few:
27% of female lottery winners hid their winning ticket in their bras.
3% of pet owners give Valentine's gifts to their pets
31% of employees skip lunch entirely.
45% of Americans don't know that the sun is a star.

More people die from getting hit on the head by a coconut then eaten by sharks.
