When cattle have mixed-sexed twins a free martin occurs. In this case the female is born sterile due to the fact that at some point in the woumb the blood of the male came into contact with her, thus altering her genetic structure. These females even behave like bulls. The males are born fertile and relatively fine, though they might be slightly smaller. In same-sexed twins nothing will occur, and the offspring will be born with a normal genetic structure.

You can't imagine a new color
You will never feel something exactly the same way as someone else
Something is always touching you
You have never seen your own face,only reflections and pictures

Read "The Grapes of Wrath". As soon as farmers in one area protest the corporations will move somewhere else- or just truck in workers by the busloads to run their farms. There's always someone desperate enough to work for less. Our odds of running out of chocolate because of wages are about as likely as Walmart going out of business because of wages. Just because it's barely enough to live doesn't mean somebody won't work for it.

There's a species of hummingbird where the females have considerably more curved bills than the males. This is because males are larger and more aggressive, meaning they can defend the more nectar-rich flowers, which straight bills can access easily. Females, being smaller and weaker, must feed off of the less productive flowers, which require curved bills to eat out of.

The girl that voiced Ducky in Land Before Time was shot by her father.

The original singer of the Mcdonalds jingle "Ba da bababa" was sung by Justin Timberlake when he was with the band Nsync*.

If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.

If you keep your eyes open by force when you sneeze, you might pop an eyeball out.

Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.

If you went out into space, you would explode before you suffocated because there's no air pressure.

If you put a saltwater fish in fresh water, it will rapidly expand and die.

Osmosis is an interesting thing.


Oh, and also- owls can rotate their necks so much because their eyes are cemented in their sockets- they can't move their eyeballs around without moving their heads. No one is 100% sure how the hell they focus on anything without moving their pupils closer and farther away. XD

Aren't most birds unable to move their eyes? (Or at least according to Wikipedia, which isn't the most reliable of sources, but still.)
