#4 That is simply not true. From a material property perspective, steel is much stronger.

Gertrude,
When compared by equal mass, bone is much stronger. In their natural state, bones are very porous, which is why they can break. If you compress the bone material and compare it ounce for ounce, bone would smash the steel. This is scientific fact.

Thaney, However, bones are NOT compressed ever, so the point is moot.

Carm,
The fact is that bone material is stronger than steel, not the bones in your body. It's the same as stating that a spider's web filament is stronger than steel, which, pound for pound, it most certainly is. A spiderweb, however, is not.
The wording here in the post is misleading, which leads to people like you becoming confused as to it's actual meaning. Your argument is equally irrelevant and invalid.

Ellswood,
It depends on what is meant by "stronger". Material can be "stronger" based on it's modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength, etc. It depends on which property is being used to define "stronger". The post is misleading.

Nando,
A hair grows 15 - 30 cm a year. It has however a terminal length, which is about 75cm on average (women longer than men). Then it falls out. But if it would not fall out, and would not be cut, the total length of one hair would be about 24 meters over a lifespan of 80 years.

I guess we can just make up things, attach a picture and call them facts now.
Oh, sorry... the news has been doing that for years.

#8 Our ears and nose do NOT continue to "grow." As we age, our skin loses it's elasticity and begins to sag. This is the same for the ears and nose, which appear larger due to the stretched skin.
"Growing," by definition, is becoming larger due to the production of new, additional cells. Once we stop growing, our bodies stop producing additional cells and only replace existing ones that die. Over time, fewer and fewer cells get replaced, and we slowly age, deteriorate, and eventually die.
Incidentally, hair and nails do not continue to grow after death. The skin dries out and retracts, making the nails and hair appear longer.
