Did you know that reality is full of strange things. In many cases, real life is stranger than fiction. Below are a few cool pieces of trivia to brighten your day.
First, natural honey has an eternal shelf life. Actually, scientists have unearthed jars of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are millennia old and perfectly good to consume. It is due to its distinct chemical structure which makes it difficult for microbes to thrive.
Speaking of nature, octopuses actually have 3 separate hearts. Two hearts pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Also, when an octopus moves quickly, the heart that delivers blood to the body takes a break, which is why they tend to scuttle rather than swim.
Another crazy tidbit: in terms of botany, pumpkins are berries, yet raspberries are not actually berries. Nature is often tricky like that! Additionally, avocados are technically fruit, not veggies.
To wrap things up, did you know that you can't make a humming noise while pinching your nose shut? Go ahead and test it out yourself! It happens because making that sound requires air to pass through your nose, and blocking it prevents the vibration.
This is just a small sample of the many amazing fact facts out there. Learning new things is a great way to pass time. Keep exploring!
