Odd facts to keep you up at night:
In spite of its name, the strawberry isn’t a true berry.
Neither is the raspberry or blackberry. On the other hand, the banana is
scientifically a berry. So are oranges, eggplants and grapes.
The moon is slowly moving away from the earth, at just under
four centimeters per year. Coincidentally, that’s roughly how fast your fingernails
grow.
Froot Loops come in different colors, but only one flavor.
It’s a combination of orange, lemon, cherry, raspberry, apple, blueberry and lime
that’s called tutti frutti (meaning all fruits). If they taste different to
you, your eyes are fooling your tongue.
Flamingo legs look like their knees are bending backwards. But
what look like knees to us are actually their ankles. Flamingos’ knees are
tucked up under their bellies.
Octopuses have three hearts. One heart circulates blood
around the body, while the other two pump it past the gills, to pick up oxygen.
