Only One of These Facts is True

Following I will list three “facts.”  I have fabricated two of the facts.  The “true” fact is something I found at HowStuffWorks.com.  See if you can locate the actual fact here.  The correct answer is immediately following.

The facts:

1.  Rust will attack the face of a hammer (due to the compression of the metal caused by striking other objects) at a rate that is as much as four-times slower that the claw.

2.  An average person will lose over one-hundred pounds of skin, through shedding, by the time they reach the age of seventy.

3.  Over the course of two summer months, one square-foot of lawn that is mowed weekly will produced enough energy (in growing) to boil thirteen eggs.

The answer:

My cats are not the only ones with a shedding problem.  Every minute of every day, we humans shed something between thirty-thousand and forty-thousand cells from the surface of our skin.  If you were to closely examine the dust you pick up with your vacuum you would be surprised by how much of the “dust” is actually your own skin.  By the end of each year each of us will shed something between one and two pounds of skin.
