If you could convert all of the mass in your body into energy instantaneously, the resulting blast would be equal to about 1 gigaton of TNT (that is several hundred hydrogen bombs), and the resulting fireball would be about 50 miles in diameter.

When Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash, his drummer heard the news on the radio.  The drummer had hotel security let him into SRV's room.  When he entered the hotel room with security, the alarm clock radio was playing "Peaceful Easy Feeling", which features the line, "I may never see you again. . ."

I have a friend named "Drew Stewart".  I said, "Drew, did you know your name is typed with just one hand?"  He had never realized it before I said something.

The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for blood plasma.  It was done during World War II when blood supplies were low.
