‼️🌽 After corncobs, early Americans discovered that magazines and catalogues could be used as a hygiene product. The Farmers Almanac even came with a hole in it so it could be easily hung in bathrooms for just this… https://t.co/V1sDugOvKI

The Australian aboriginals and native people were the first to discover that #koalas very rarely drink #water. This is because the eucalyptus or gum leaves they eat contain 50 percent water. They also have special fur that retains moisture and they only urinate twice a day.
African and Asian #elephants have superior senses of smell for detecting water- even underground (and in second story bathrooms). Apparently they also have a keen sense of water conservation, so don’t let them catch you wasting water.
The Immortal Jellyfish is the only immortal creature on Earth because instead of #dying , they transform themselves back into their “baby” polyp state. Their tentacles retract, their bodies shrink, and they sink to the ocean floor and start #life all over again.
#babies understand the general meaning of what YOU are saying before they can talk. If you pretend to understand and respond with a smile and imitating its gestures, it will be encouraged to verbally #communicate more.
The Pacific Beetle #Cockroach is the only one that gives birth to live young and produces milk-like protein crystals that contain more than 3 TIMES the energy of an equivalent mass of dairy . A high calorie and protein rich meal that can even deliver itself to you! #MilkingIt
Like a cold, #HAPPINESS can be caught from the people around you. A study found that if a subject was surrounded by happy people, they were more likely to become happy in the future.
To quote #astronaut Chris Hadfield 👨🏻🚀, in space, without gravity to separate them: " air, food, and liquids in your stomach are all floating together like chunky bubbles. If you #burp, you throw up into your mouth… so guess where the trapped air goes?
NASA estimates the number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy between 100 billion and 400 billion stars. Earth’s #tree density has been mapped out at over 3 TRILLION. I tried to verify, but Greg keeps making me lose count with his complaining. #Forestry
April 28 is #SuperheroDay. I still say Val Kilmer was the #bestBatman Or... to be more accurate Flying Squirrel Man or Sugar Glider Possum Man as Batman doesn't fly- only glides.
It seems sometimes like the people that get to name things don't check with the OTHER people that get to name things. A baby rabbit is not a #bunny . To make animal adoption more confusing, a baby rat is called a pup 🐀 and a baby pigeon is called a squeaker🐦 #catrescue
Before the invention of #toothpaste or cleaning detergents, the Romans used pee to clean their clothes, teeth…and as MOUTHWASH. Urine contains the chemical AMMONIA and it is the best naturally occurring #cleaning agent.
