Fun fact: black people smell bad!

Other fun fact: the inventer of the saxophone, Adolphe Sax, survived cancer, falling out of a window, swallowing a needle, getting hit in the head by a falling stone, drinking sulphiric acid, and almost drowned!
 
Fun Fact: The dish Americans refer to as goulash is not goulash, which is traditionally a Hungarian stew made of beef, vegetables like potatoes, onions, and carrots, and a lot of paprika. It rarely has tomatoes added.
What we Murians call goulash, a dish of macaroni, tomatoes, and ground beef, is in fact a dish called "slumgullion."
 
In China cricket fighting was a huge deal for gambling. People would breed crickets professionally for the fights. In one village dead champion crickets would be called “generals” and kept in tiny silver coffins to commemorate them.
 
Hair and fur are the same thing; so those with body hair are furries. (:_(
 
People often assume beavers eat fish and live in dams. Neither of those are true. Beavers build dams because the resulting pond grows lots of plants that they can feed on and swim in. That is, beavers are an instance of animals practicing agriculture/farming.

Ants also practice farming and ranching. Some species take leaf clippings and bring them into their caverns to fertilize a fungus crop with, which they eat. Other species accompany aphids, which they "milk" for their sugary excretions by tickling them. They protect aphids from ladybugs (like wolves with sheep), move them to better plants, take an aphid egg with them when they relocate colonies (so they can breed a new herd), and build small structures to make them easier to manage.


Some species of African termites builds colonies which are capable of regulating their temperature to be constant, making them nature's HVAC specialists.

Fire hawks in Australia know how to pick up smoldering sticks from forest fires to spread fires to other sections of woods, smoking out pray that they can easily hunt. That makes them an instance of a creature learning fire domestication.

Anyone who thinks beavers eat fish has to be kinda dumb since they're known herbivores anyway.
 
Fun fact: only about 10-20% of people can wiggle their ears.

I didn’t realize how rare this was until I learned my coworkers didn’t believe me when I said I can wiggle my ears. I thought it was one of these things like folding your tongue.
 
The horizon is always flat and rises to eye level, which is impossible on a ball.
