It's your body's largest organ, despite what the readers of Maxim think.</DIV><BR />2. An average adult's skin spans 21 square feet, weighs nine pounds,<BR /><DIV>and contains more than 11 miles of blood vessels.</DIV><BR />3. The skin releases as much as three gallons of sweat a day in hot<BR />weather. The areas that don't sweat are the nail bed, the margins of<BR /><DIV>the lips, the tip of the penis, and the eardrums.</DIV><BR />4. Ooh, that smell: Body odor comes from a second kind of sweat—a<BR />fatty secretion produced by the apocrine sweat glands, found mostly<BR /><DIV>around the armpits, genitals, and anus.</DIV><BR />5. Yum! The odor is caused by bacteria on the skin eating and digesting<BR /><DIV>those fatty compounds.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://masalajokes.blogspot.com/2007/06/20-things-you-didnt-know-about-skin.html"><DIV>6.
