I don't know why this entry was downvoted. This is true for many women (and people with a uterus), and most men couldn't bear that much pain that consistently. But since it concerns only half of the world's population, it's too niche to justify funding research about it 🤦‍♀️

Your brain is more active when you're asleep than when you're awake. While you're dreaming, your brain processes information, consolidates memories, and even rehearses potential scenarios.

The number of years it would take for all the atoms to "die" in this universe would amount to higher than the total amount of atoms in the universe. To give you an idea as to the size of the timescale, there are more atoms in a glass of water than there are glasses of water in all the oceans combined.

I think the story is that the person who invented the Brazen Bull was tortured in it, but he was taken out before he died. Then they threw him off a cliff.

When you die, your cat will likely eat you, but not right away. this is because he/she still expects you to fill up his bowl. after a bit, when you do not fill up their bowl, they will likely nom on soft, exposed areas of your body (think neck, lips, nose). If you want more somewhat morbid facts like this, read "will my cat eat my eyeballs?" by caitlin something-or-other. it's a great read.

No he wasn't. This is a myth. The closest thing was the case of James Douglas, a Scottish nobleman who was decapitated on a maiden, a type of beheading machine that predates the guillotine and that Douglas had *passed a law* to use it in Scotland.

You know how everyone has their own unique smell? Well, identical twins share the same smell.

You burn more calories while sleeping if you are naked.

You typically only breathe out of one nostril at a time. The moment you are conscious of this, you will breathe out of both.

I was driving to work on Christmas Day and spotted a corner shop was open so I went and bought some sweets and had a chat with the shop owner and we commiserated with each other about working on Christmas Day She said very sadly that she always worked on Christmas Day because she had no children .. later that day she was rushed into A&E with severe stomach pains and I was sent to help with her delivery !

I want to believe this, but I don't speak crow, so can't verify it. This saddens me.

Wrong. "On fire" is a colloquial way of saying "burning". But you already knew that, didn't you?

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 ... )

This is simply not true. However, some things can be mixed with ketchup to make them toxic, which (depending on the substance) can cause kidney or liver failure that would not likely have a cause attributed to it.
