I was looking up if a person can be too oversized for cremation. I found out that individuals who are overweight can cause grease fires when being cremated. Apparently to a highly trained ?? Crematorist ?? (I'm unsure of the job title) This is not a problem as they know how to manage it however if not managed properly the fire can get out of hand.

Ninety percent of the world’s population lives above the equator.

Most of us know that coal miners did/are dying from black lung disease. But did you know that actors could get very ill/die from the powder used to set their make-up? Even today many professional clowns use baby powder (in a sock) to set their make-up.

Not a funny, but a random fact nonetheless: two Hairless Chinese Crested dogs should not be bred together because the hairless gene variant is lethal when a dog has two copies of the mutation. Therefore the mating should be between a Hairless and the Powderpuff variety of the breed.
(There's also the true hairless and the Hairy hairless, just to confuse you - and IMHO no kinder, more loyal, funnier breed of dog ever existed. Not that I'm biased ... )
