One of the fascinating things about biology I think is this - that if the cells of your body were the size of an egg, they'd be way, way too big and you'd probably die.

I also find it interesting that if your spleen were to go prompt critical, it would irradiate you and you'd probably die. That is my favorite fact about nuclear physics.
For sure. You should definitely avoid bioaccumulating fissionable radionuclides in your spleen, not even a tiny amount if you can help it.
What does that even mean? :D

Wouldn't this be true about any organ?

Another fun fact: if your ears were tomatoes, you'd be deaf.
