She'll crawl 150 kilometers before she's two. From then on, she'll learn a new word every two hours for the next 10 years. By the time she's ten, her heart would have beaten 368 million times. She'll spend a little over 12 years watching TV and two and a half years on the telephone. She will spend 2 weeks kissing. She'll grow 28 meters of fingernails and 950 kilometers of hair on her head and more than 2 meters up her nose.

By the age of 21, she'd have breathed over 3.5 million balloons of air. She'll work for a total of just over 8 years. And she'll produce 200 billion new red blood cells each and every day. She'll be able to put a name to 2,000 people, 150 of them she’ll call her friends. She will shed 19 kilograms of dead skin.

She'll have sex 2,580 times with 5 different people. She'll fall in love twice. She'll blink 415 million times and her eyes will be able to distinguish over a million colours. If she gets married, she'll spend 6,809 pounds on her wedding day. And there is a 60% chance she will stay married to the same person for the rest of her life. She'll have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. And when they grow up, only 2 of her 8 great-grandchildren will remember what her name was. In Britain she's likely to live for 79 years, in France 82, in North America 80 and in Africa only 55. By that time she'll have walked over 22,000 kilometers and talked for 12 years.
