Does this mean that the salinity of a Finn's tears will be less than 
that of a colombian, since the salinity of sea water changes between the 
equator and the 60th parallel?

;)

Fun fact #2: We've all evolved from sea-dwelling animals who had to deal 
with sea water's osmotic pressure for millennia, so there's nothing 
really surprising about fun fact #1.

Fun fact #3:  It's also why you should boil seafood in salt water.
