Interesting and Random facts that You Probably Don’t Know

  1. Lizard’s tales still move when they come off.
  2. Hippotamus milk is pink.
  3. Barcode scanners scan the white and not the black.
  4. Teeth and strawberries can melt (I left strawberries in my lunch box for a week and it became liquid and when I touched the one strawberry that wasn’t melted it exploded– don’t worry it was still in the bag. If you don’t believe that teeth can melt I know this because my dentist told us that my back teeth might have melted when I was young and caught a cold that made my inner body temperature so hot that my teeth melted.)
  5. Carrots don’t actually help you see in the dark, that was a lie made up by the Germans during WWI (I think, maybe WWII) to trick the enemy team because they were wondering how the Germans knew where all their ships were so they said they spread the rumor that carrots make your eyes better. The real reason they knew where the ships were was because they had radar, not because of carrots.
  6. I don’t really care that people use these words interchangeably but pots and pans are different, pots are box-shaped, and used to make noodles and rice and pans are flat and used to grill vegetables, pancakes, eggs, and meat (for Chinese food and stuff).
  7. The spiral things in front of barbershops are red, blue, and white because barbers were the people who cut sick patience when people were dumb and thought people were sick because they had bad blood so they cut their wrist because they thought they would get better that way. The red represents blood and the white represents bandages, it’s basically a reference to history. I don’t know what the blue represents.
  8. Your teeth can melt if you catch a cold at a really young age.
  9. If you drink too much water at a time it can make your cells explode.
  10. Hippopotomonstrosesphobia is the name for the phobia of long words. Hahaha
  11. In most movies, they put an egg carton, baguettes, and some green leafy thing in a brown paper bag whenever a character brings in groceries (side note: who puts groceries in brown paper bags? That’s so impractical).
  12. Pizza is not actually an Italian food it was invented in America (I think it was also invented by an American).
