Speaking Of Sweat...

Season 1 Episode 1: Give Me A Ring Sometime (Pilot)
Airdate:
September 30 1982
Cliff Clavin sets the stage for the useless trivia he will be famous for with his first ever bit of info:

Speaking of sweat; here's a little known fact: Women have fewer sweat glands than men, but they're larger and more active...
...consequently they sweat more.

Cliff later turns to Diane Chambers and asks "How about you miss, what are your perspiration patterns?"

The truth:

In actuality, women have more sweat glands than men and the men's sweat glands are more active.

Some more sweaty trivia:

  • Sweat doesn't smell, but odor-causing bacteria loves warm places such as you armpits and may make itself at home.
  • Sweat is 99% water and a bit of sodium chloride.
  • There are over 3 million sweat glands in the average body.
  • There are two types of sweat glands: Eccrine & Apocrine
