9. Kissing Helps You Find Your Soulmate

Helen Fisher, the lead researcher of a recent study and biological anthropologist from the Rutgers University, analyzed the data of 40,000 people on Chemistry.com, a dating website to come to this conclusion. She found out the hormones present in the saliva can help people determine whether the person will be a good mate.

10. Kissing Requires Use Of Muscles

Not only does kissing help you burn around 26 calories but it also exercises your facial muscles! According to the American Journal of Medicine, when you kiss you use up to 112 postural muscles and 30 facial muscles (10). This is probably the most delightful way to get rid of fatty cheeks and wrinkles (11)!

14. Kissing Originated Centuries Ago

Although French kissing was popularized during the First World War, kissing traces its roots way back (14). Centuries ago, kissing didn’t exist. What did was sniffing of the face and it was used as a way to determine an individual’s health, mood, and social status. Gradually, sniffing evolved into kissing when people started brushing their lips against another’s face (15).

The man was then rushed to surgery where surgeons successfully removed a cup the size of a hand from what appears to be an incision in his stomach.

According to The Post, video shows the procedure which begins with one doctor cleaning the stomach area before carefully removing the silver cup with the bottom of the object facing up. Medical staff appears to be in disbelief as the surgeon holds up the tumbler for the camera.

The man, who works as a laborer, has recovered well, according to reports. The medical professionals have hypothesized that the cup reached his stomach after being inserted up the man’s ‘behind’. Doctors said the man got extremely drunk with three strangers after returning from a grocery store, where he had gone to get vegetables. By the time he sobered up, the unknown people were not present, and doctors aren’t sure if the man shoved the cup up his rectum himself or if he was assaulted.
