What do you know about kissing?  This is a fun little infograph with some trivial information that will bring a smile to everyone’s face at your next party.  Get smarter by reading this article then flaunt your intelligence.

OK, so here are the facts:

- Our brains have special neurons that help us locate each others’ lips in the dark.

- Men who kiss their wives in morning live 5 years longer than men who don’t.

- A typical french kiss moves 29 muscles in the face.

- The average person will spend an estimated 20,160 minutes of their lifetime kissing.

- Kissing increases the mouth’s production of saliva and saliva helps clean the mouth and thus prevent tooth decay.  (Yeah for this one)

- One minute of passionate kissing burns 6.4 calories.

- A kiss can contain up to 278 kinds of different bacteria, 95% of which are not dangerous.  (Hmmm, I guess that means kissing is a little risky.  That’s cool.)

- 66% close their eyes during a kiss.

- The longest kiss: 33 hours.

I have no intention of being a world record holder, but who couldn’t use a little “work out” now and again.  We were surprised by a couple of these facts, how about you?  Share you comments below.
