Most people are not this patient, and end up washing off the soap before the antibacterial ingredients can do their job.

In 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested for kidnapping and rape. Miranda made a confession without previously being told of his constitutional right to remain silent and his right to have an attorney present during police questioning. 
At his trial, he was convicted based only on his confession. The Supreme Court ruled that Miranda was intimidated by the interrogation and that he did not understand his right not to incriminate himself or his right to counsel. On this basis, his conviction was overturned. Miranda was later convicted in a new trial, this time with witnesses testifying against him, as well as other evidence. He served eleven years in prison.
Ironically, when Ernesto Miranda was later killed in a knife fight, his murderer was read the Miranda rights, which he invoked, declining to give a statement.

Human fingers do not contain any muscles other than the small muscles attached to each hair follicle, which contract to make the hairs stand on end, causing goose bumps. 
The muscles that move the finger joints are in the palm and forearm. The long tendons that deliver motion from the forearm muscles may be observed to move underneath the skin at the wrist and on the back of the hand.

Maple Syrup Urine Disease is a genetic disorder characterized by an infant with sweet-smelling urine with an odor similar to that of maple syrup. Infants with this disease seem healthy at birth but if left untreated suffer severe brain damage and eventually die. 
Maple Syrup Urine Disease is caused by a deficiency of a certain metabolic enzyme. The deficiency leads to a toxic buildup of branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) in the blood and urine.
