Cannibalism is only illegal in Idaho. There is no official law that makes it a crime anywhere else in the U. S. As long as you weren’t the reason the person died, you are in the clear. BTW, I know that from randomly Googling weird laws that are still on the books; I’m not a cannibal.

It may take a single photon of light billions of years to travel from it's point of origin to your eye, but due to time dilation, from the photon's point of view, it only just left. It would have experience those billions of years as a single blip.

Koalas feed their babies their own poop. It helps the baby's stomachs get used to the eucalyptus earlier so they can eat the leaves safely later. Also there's a pill you can take if you want your poop to smell like chocolate

Let me just start off by saying I do NOT know this from personal experience.

Animal bones and human bones have different levels of porosity. A human bone will stick to your tongue. An animal bone will not.

I saw this on a TV show and thought it sounded crazy but possibly true, so I did some Googling.

That's not even true genetically. You can be XX, XY, XXX, and XXY. And that's just a single chromosome pair. Phenotypes can be expressed in a multitude of ways. I think life is always more complex that the simple categories we'd like to define. Even eye color comes in a while host of shades. It's not just blue, brown, and green. Spectrums exist in most things.
