Cats and dogs can see color. To a human, it would appear almost like sepia tones, or watching an old movie when the colors are muted.

Ever wonder how they got Godzilla's roar in the original Godzilla? The sound department took a course, resin-coated glove and ran it up and down the strings of a double bass and then reverberated the sound. Unique!

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was written by Kurt Cobain after hearing a friend say, "Ugh, it smells like teen spirit in here!" He thought she was being poetic about teen angst and wrote an entire rock song around it. Actually, she was talking about the body spray called "Teen Spirit." He wrote a song about deodorant!

A dog nose print is like a human fingerprint: each one is different.

Gone today. See ya tomorrow!

Fresh cranberries can bounce like a rubber ball. I thought I wasn't supposed to play with my food, but how can I resist?

St. P. was not Catholic, did not drive out the snakes, had nothing to do with a shamrock, did not create the Celtic cross, and he was neither British nor Irish. Happy St. P. Myth Debunking Day!

"I don't think inside the box. I don't think outside the box. I may have actually lost my box; if anyone sees it, can they let me know?" Aunty Acid, 3/16/2020

The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows.

After their third album, Caress of Steel, was a massive failure, the band Rush was told by their record company to return to the simpler style of their first album, Or else.

Before dentures were invented, the jaws of dead soldiers were often used as prosthetics. I'll just drink my food for the rest of my life, thanks.

After a good work out, it can take up to five hours for the body to return to its normal temperature. I guess that's one way to stay warm during the winter.

Goldfish do not have stomachs. I find that fact hard to digest.

Technically, a child has more tastebuds than an adult. Why?? Those extra tastebuds are wasted on ungrateful children! They are over there eating chicken nuggets while I'm eating beef wellington. I think I'd appreciate the tastebuds more, but... maybe that's why chicken nuggets tasted so awesome when I was a kid.

Attila the Hun, arguably the greatest warrior to have ever existed, who only ever lost one single battle in his entire career... died by drowning from a nosebleed after passing out drunk on his wedding night. Not exactly the end you'd expect from a great warrior, but it is proper Rock and Roll!

Apparently, when you blush, the lining of your stomach also turns red. I don't want to know who figured that out and how.
