FACT: If you stretched out your small intestine from end to end, you would die.

 

An adult small intestine is approximately 7m long.
An adult large intestine is approximately 1.5m long.

I watched the anatomy programme on C4 last week. The entire digestive system from the throat to the anus was excavated and layed out on a table. The host said the total length was seven metres.
