I recently learned that in the movie tombstone Doc Holliday actually says "I'm your huckle bearer." And not "huckleberry". Which is referring to carrying a casket aka killing them. | |

Did you know the Spaghetti sharing scene in Lady & the tramp almost never happened? Here's why xD It’s now one of the most famous (and parodied) scenes ever, but Walt was against that cozy pasta scene. Though he wanted the dogs to have human emotions, he just couldn’t wrap his head around two dogs romantically sharing a strand of spaghetti. If you’ve ever watched your dogs fight over a plate of leftovers, you can imagine why. Disney eventually relented after animator Frank Thomas worked up a rough draft of how it might work. |

A parsec is 260000 astronomical units. I always thought a parsec was a measurement of time, not distance. Weird | |

Recently MrBot made a comment about squirrel poop. If you think about it, we see squirrels everywhere. They are in all neighbourhoods. You would think for the amount of squirrels around, that we would be able to see their poop. It's mind-blowing, isnt it!?
It seems the answer is quite simple:

So pumpkins, uhhhh kiwis, avocados and alot more that seem awkward as well are actually berries, and things like strawberries and raspberries actually are not truly a "berry". "Several of the most popular edible fruits referred to as berries are not berries. In a botany, if a fruit contains drupes (a fleshy fruit with thin skin and a central stone containing the seed), it does not classify as a berry, though we can continue to call them berries in the culinary world. For example strawberry, raspberry." A "berry" is a fleshy fruit that was formed from the ovary of a single flower, and they generally have several seeds. |

If you gathered every human on the planet and made them hold hands all the way along the equator, a very significant number of them would drown. It's facts like this which can help keep us all sane. |
