I got this off my packet of oatmeal:

When the first railroads were build, 150 years ago, experts thought that human beings would explode at speeds over 20 mph (32.1 km/h).

Wow.

Indeed! I wonder how fast I WOULD have to go in order to explode...

i think you'd pass out & die before you'd explode.
the pressure on the brain would kill you first.

What a sweet thought. I have pressure on my brain all the time... I suppose I could work hard enough to equate high speed and die in a similar fasion, right here at my desk.
