For a few months, we have been collecting the strangest and most interesting facts we could find and turning them into cool drawings that we post on our Instagram. We have over 150 drawing ideas and counting now!

In our quest for strange facts, we came across all kinds of topics including nature, culture, climate, history, and technology. And we have discovered things we didn’t know about farts, selfies, pizzas, sweat, Ikea, Nutella, and even sex toys.

Here are 69 of our coolest facts! We hope they’ll intrigue you as much as they intrigued us. You can also visit our Instagram for more of these enlightening funny drawings!

It's eight limbs, the type of limbs on an octopus are called arms. Some sources refer to two of them as "legs" as they are known to chose two arms for floor locomotion They are not, scientifically speaking, legs in any way. Octopuses have eight arms.

Otters get pockets by mother nature but women – whose pants really are made by intelligent design – don't get proper pockets in their pants. How is that fair?

This was actually very, very common in Rome too. Many people had no way to cook at home in their cramped living quarters and bought food from street vendors instead.

A teacher of mine mentioned that all (dont know if this is 100% true) preys have their eyes on the side of their faces to spot predators while predators have them facing forward to focus on their prey better. Hence why nearly all preys can see approximately 360 degrees around due to the position of their eyes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is the only thing I remember from elementary school.

It's pretty much accurate. The forward facing eyes give predators the ability to better estimate the distance to the prey. Prey, on the other hand only needs to see that something is there and the direction without knowing the exact distance.

And they can sleep with their eyes open too. But dont sneak up on them, some rabbits can get a heart attack if they get too scared. Extra note, lop eared rabbits hearing is not as great as a normal eared rabbit so be carefull (I have accidently spooked mine TT_TT )

all prey have vision 360, all the predators have stereoscopic vision, if you don't know why, try to put sugar in a cup of tea with one eye.

Why would they want military devices? This puts the pepsi/cocacola war to another level.

But we have a high tolerance for hot water! When you turn on a faucet, which one do you turn on? Lefties will turn on hot first.

That's actually quite interesting, I find some of female voices from movies from 40s, 50s unpleasantly high.

I feel like there’s more reason than that, or else they’d be Abacus or Accel or Abracadabra...

I'm sure it's a quicker, almost painless death than being barbecued alive in an electric chair.

I think I heard/read somewhere that the third is responsible to push for support from behind, rather than participating.

I just want to understand the evolutionary imperative for them to be able to drink near boiling water. I find it hard to believe that their food source is found swimming in those water temperatures

Does it have to do with the overall slowing down of the Earth's rotation? Or is it something else?

Typing this without double-checking first. But I think it was because there was still part of the brain stem attached.
