That before the Industrial Revolution, people had a totally different sleeping pattern - sleep early, then wake at like 2am and get up for a couple of hours to do chores, then back to sleep until morning. Crazy that we had such a fundamentally different way of living before constant artificial light and intensive modern work and stress.

Greenland sharks can live to over 400 years old!
Apparently sharks also like heavy metal music which is cool, divers play it to them and they like the noise 😄🦈

I have several.

Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.
Wearing headphones for just an hour could increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.
Cat urine glows under a black light.
Rabbits can't be sick! It's just the way the long-eared rodents are built. Due to their diet and digestive system, rabbits physically can't be sick and wouldn't know how to, even if they could.
Humans are the only animals to blush.
The Effiel Tower grows 6 inches in the summer (you might grow a millimeter or two, but not that drastically).
Sloths don't fart. (wish I couldn't either, would save me SO MUCH embarrassment)

And my favorite:
Space smells! (I KNOW, THIS ONE IS SO WEIRD)

The Chicago Tylenol murders were a series of poisoning deaths resulting from drug tampering in the Chicago metropolitan area in 1982. The victims had all taken Tylenol-branded acetaminophen capsules that had been laced with potassium cyanide. Seven people died in the original poisonings, with several more deaths in subsequent copycat crimes. Credit to Wikipedia

Kids like 4-7 don't understand same amounts. Like if you have a tall glass and a short stubby glass both with 100 milligrams of water and ask them which one has more water. They will point the the stubby one thinking it's bigger. You can actually put the water into a cup that looks the exact same and they will say it's the same, then put it back into the old cups and they will say that a certain one is bigger, even though you just proved it's the same amount of water to them
