- Blonde People will eventually Die Out — It is sadly a recessive gene, so unless more blonde people hook up with other blondes it’s likely natural blondes will die out by 2200.
- Cleopatra lived closer to the Moon Landing than the Building of The Pyramids — Yes, the Pyramids are built that long ago.
- There is an animal that Boils its Prey alive — It is known as the Mantis Shrimp. It punches through the water so fast that the heat caused by the punch literally boils the water and whatever prey is in range. It also has 16 color receptors, compared to our 3 (Blue, Green, Red).
- We are 99% Empty Space — Every Atom is comprised of a Nucleus (Protons and Neurons) and Electrons that swarm around it. The electrons are however so far away from every Nucleus that, if we were to take out that space and crunch it all together, the entire human population would fit in your drawer.
- There are People that See Sound and Hear Color — They are both a form of Synesthesia, a phenomenon in which the brain involuntarily signals parts of the brain associated to the wrong sense.
- Most Fights only last a couple seconds — The movies gave us this wrong idea about fighting lasting several minutes in epic, drawn-out battles. The truth is most fights are over after the first punch is thrown.
