Chickens are extremely cannibalistic. They'll happily strip a carcass (fresh or roasted) to the bone and will swarm a broken egg and devour it, shell and all. Even when just chicks they will peck one of their own to death if they see blood. In fact that's why heat lamps for chicks tend to be red, to disguise any injuries so they don't kill each other when your back is turned.

It has been showing up in heroin as well, to spice it up if it is shit quality or too diluted. It's called grey-something I think.

Here's the truly horrible thing and it has happened a few times, when a couple of people die from it the authorities makes a public service announcement that there's dangerous and tainted heroin in circulation. Junkies on the other hand hears that as someone selling dope so potent that it kills people and some of them want to get in on that, they just have to be careful when shooting up...
 
Charles Darwin was not a fan of the "social Darwinism" his research supposedly led too and repeatedly asked his name not be associated with it. Though not out of disdain for eugenics or other such studies, but simply because his research on evolution and adaptation was often misquoted or misused when it was associated with Social Darwinism.

But you won't hear the mainstream media admit that


Also

During slavery days, the field slaves would often get so jealous of house slaves who had a nearly comfortable life with higher status above them, they'd often frame them for stealing or learning literacy in the hopes of having them demoted to the fields or even "sold down the river."

To quote the IMDB trivia page,

"During the filming of one of the dinner scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio had to stop the scene because he was having 'a difficult time' using so many racial slurs. Samuel L. Jackson then pulled him aside telling him, 'Motherfucker, this is just another Tuesday for us.'"

I love that even in real life Jackson still calls someone, "Motherfucker."
