Pineapple contains a chemical called Bromelain that deconstructs (and will eventually dissolve) proteins, including human tissue. So if you're wondering why it tingles on your tongue now you know (thankfully our stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve concrete so takes care of Mr Pineapple)

Some words are contranyms, meaning a word that has two different meanings that are the opposite of each other.

The three examples I know are:
Cleave (can mean either to cling to or to separate from)
Left (can be used to refer to the part of a group that departed or the part that stayed. "Three sheep left the flock, how many were left?")
Off (can mean either to activate or to deactivate. "The alarm went off, so I turned it off.")

"Now That's Gonna Be Stuck In My Head": 45 Worthless Bits Of Trivia Or Knowledge Shared By Our Community That the angels do not naturally have a human form. When you actually read in depth about them, they are said to be both beautiful and yet among the most terrifying beings in the universe. When they say "Be not afraid" there is a reason for it, and it's not because they popped out of nowhere in front of your face.

This is the first description of an angel that has made sense to me, but now I have more questions. Going by what you said, if they appear to be both beautiful and fearsome, do you think, if they do appear to humans, that their appearance can vary from human to human, depending on said human's disposition? If you're an evil person, would your angel come off as fearsome and terrifying, whereas a good human would get the beautiful image of that angel?

Many years ago, when wood was in short supply it was a common practice to dig up and reuse coffins.

Quite often the grave diggers would see scratch marks on the underside of the coffin lid, left there by someone who was buried but still alive!

This happened so often, in fact, that all newly buried people had a length of string tied to their finger, leading all the way aboveground where it was tied to a bell.

When someone buried alive would move their hand trying to desperately claw their way out, the bell would ring aboveground.

Those people were called "Dead Ringers".

The men hired to listen for the bells during the night were known to be working the "graveyard shift".

Not trivia, just a Spanish word my nutty, Mexican friend from college made me learn, for some weird reason. It's the word for "ear, nose and throat" - otorrinolaringologo. I've found myself repeating it over and over in my head whenever I'm in a lot of pain, especially with migraines. I don't do it intentionally, it just happens. Thanks for the subconscious coping mechanism, Hermès!
