He failed over and over for years until one day a cow that was exactly to his specifications. She produced obscene, record breaking amounts of milk even for a regular cow and could live in Cuba’s sweltering climate. There were regular updates on her health in the Cuban national newspaper and he loved her so much that when she died he erected a huge marble statue of her in her honor

Butterflies sometimes drink blood.

Dogs like squeaky toys because the noise reminds them of small animals dying.

It's not actually known how anaesthetics work.

Also on the note of anaesthesia, until the 80s they weren't used on babies because it was believed they couldn't feel pain.

What happened? They dislocated a bone in their neck, and when they turned their neck, they fully snapped it. There’s a bunch of stories of this happening to people, which is very scary.

Arigato" is Japanese for "Thank you."

"Obrigado" is Portuguese for "Thank you."

Portugal was the first European country to really make meaningful contact with Japan, which was the easternmost heavily-populated country/region in Asia. Portugal happens to be the westernmost country in Europe.

The two words, Arigato and Obrigado, are linguistically completely unrelated.

Those two very similar words developed in completely isolated contexts on opposite ends of the world's largest landmass, and they mean the same thing.

During WWII, a fairly large number of Nazi-POWs were brought to the USA, tens of thousands of them, possibly hundreds of thousands.
