When you're biting down, you're actually biting up. You can't move the top part of your mouth, except with you nod.

It is difficult to explain the difference between right and left without showing another person their left and right hand.

It is difficult to describe a color without calling it by name, it's impossible to think of a color that does not exist.

Clapping is hitting yourself because you like something.

Your age is the amount of laps you've done around a giant ball of hot hydrogen (and other elements).

Nothing is on fire, fire is on things.

When you sleep, you're lying semi-comatose while hallucinating vividly.

We spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded in something, and less time encouraging those who haven't.

Did you know that mushrooms are more closely related to animals than plants?

Or that trees grow out of the air and not the ground?

Or that a single sperm has the equivalent of 37.5MB of DNA which means a normal ejaculation is a data transfer of about 1,500 terra bytes.

Or that a deck of cards when shuffled will result in a configuration that has never existed ever before.

Did those blow your mind? Youtube has taught me some wonderful things.

Actually, Kerrek, this is a list I compiled myself, filled with observations I made myself and thoughts I found to be rather profound.

The fact that SabreTrout is still around and posting blows my mind.

The cards one. It's probability, not fact.

If I roll this 592 million sided dice it will come up with a number nobody has ever rolled before.

Um, no. That's not how it works.

Given enough time, a deck of cards will create every configuration possible within the parameters of the typical fifty-two. It's inevitable.

However, your exact DNA configuration, the arrangement of every atom within your body, every scar, every moment of your life can never be repeated as it was before. Your life, from the moment of conception to the day you pass on can never have the same configuration in another living body. We all are unique in that regard, and yet it the grand scheme of existence, it is the merest of things, it is barely perceptible in the vastness of the multiverse.

Oh well yeah. Fair enough. There are about 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
different combinations a deck of cards can have. Eventually you'll probably get the same combination.

I disagree. 
Tomato is a fruit, watermelon a vegetable.

I believe cucumbers are also fruit.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad, wit is stating that salsa is a fruit salad, and business sense is selling salsa as a fruit salad.

Making Topics off-track faster then you can say it 
Question, If I name something of mine "mind" will any of these blow it?

Also what would qualify as blowing someone's mind, some facts people might know like tomatoes, and the only other way I can think of to blow someone's mind would require explosives or Chuck Norris.
