And that’s why I’m sharing this little-known information with you.
From *A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson:
Your skin cells are all dead. It’s a somewhat galling notion to reflect that every inch of your surface is deceased. If you are an average-sized adult you are lugging around about five pounds of dead skin, of which several billion tiny fragments are sloughed off each day. Run a finger along a dusty shelf and you are drawing a pattern very largely in old skin.
Well, that puts a whole new spin on dusting.
