facts?

  • More people die a year by coconuts falling on their heads than by shark attacks.
  • Male angler fish latch onto females and slowly deteriorate into nothing more than a pair of balls so that the female angler fish can have fresh semen whenever she needs to reproduce.
  • The moon rises 50 minutes later each day. That’s why it’s up during they day sometimes.
  • A sunset is usually more brilliant than a sunrise because of the dust that’s kicked up by the sun heating the ground, creating thermals. The dust then refracts the light and creates colors in the sky.
  • some south african frogs are known to change sex in a one sex environment
  • A Piece of ivory can be shaped and molded once it has been soaked for a few hours in a mild acid like vinegar or beer.
  • dill pickles light up when charged with an electrical current.
  • “Light years” are only, actually, “years” relative to the speed of the observer (us here on Earth). Not because of the 365 day cycle of the earth we call a year, but because we’re moving at such a slower speed than light that we perceive time incredibly differently.
  • Cats purr at a frequency of 27-44 Hz. This is approximately that of a diesel engine.
  • A male calico cat is very rare.
  • Futura was the first font on the moon.
  • mules can’t reproduce
  • Sharks die if you drag them backwards.
  • Every single living thing on this planet with an ass and a mouth forms the asshole first in early development.
