Did you know that our planet is full of unusual facts. In many cases, reality is crazy than invented stories. Below are a few interesting facts to brighten your day.
Let's begin with this: natural honey never goes bad. Actually, scientists have unearthed pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still edible. This is due to its distinct chemical structure that makes it impossible for microbes to grow.
Speaking of nature, the octopus actually have three hearts. Two hearts pump blood to the respiratory system, while the other one pumps it to the rest of the body. Interestingly, when an octopus moves quickly, the heart that delivers blood to the body takes a break, which is why they usually scuttle rather than float.
Here is another weird read more tidbit: botanically speaking, bananas are berries, however, strawberries are not. Nature can be confusing like that! Additionally, cucumbers are technically considered fruit, not vegetables.
To wrap things up, were you aware that it is impossible to make a humming noise while holding your nose? You can try it right now! The reason is that making that sound requires air to pass through your nasal cavity, and plugging it stops the sound.
This is just a small sample of the endless cool things out there. Learning new things keeps the brain sharp. Stay curious!
