Let's begin with this: honey has an eternal shelf life. Actually, scientists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and perfectly good to consume. This is due to its unique chemical structure that makes it impossible for microbes to thrive.
Moving on to animals, the octopus actually have three hearts. Two hearts pump blood to the respiratory system, while the other one pumps it to the organs. Even stranger, when an octopus moves quickly, the heart that delivers blood to the body stops read more beating, which is why these creatures tend to crawl rather than swim.
Here's a mind-bending fact: scientifically, watermelons are berries, yet raspberries are not actually berries. Nature is often complicated like that! Additionally, cucumbers are technically fruit, not vegetables.
To wrap things up, were you aware that it is impossible to make a humming noise while pinching your nose shut? Go ahead and try it yourself! It happens because making that sound requires air to escape through your nose, and blocking it prevents the vibration.
