One Reddit user puts his four-year-old daughter to bed not
with songs or bedtime stories, but with fascinating facts. He recently went
online to request more, and readers happily obliged. Here’s a small sample:
When dogs or wolves in movies must look mean, their tails are
added later with CGI. Canine actors are so happy to be doing a good job, they can’t stop their tails wagging.
In Switzerland, it’s illegal to own just one guinea pig. You
must have at least two, because they get lonely.
Oxford University in England (which was established in 1096)
is much older than the Aztec empire (1438 to 1533).
Marsupials and egg-laying mammals don’t have belly buttons.
Humans are bioluminescent. We glow in the dark. But the
light we emit is 1,000 times too dim for our own eyes to see.
Most elephants weigh less than a blue whale’s tongue does.
Botanically speaking, a strawberry isn’t really a berry. But
a banana is.
