    Here’s a page full of random and interesting facts:

    Science & Nature

    1. Bananas are berries, but strawberries aren’t! Botanically,


    berries must come from a single flower with one ovary, which
    bananas do.
    2. The human body contains enough iron to make a nail about 3
    inches long.
    3. Octopuses have three hearts, and their blood is blue because it
    contains copper instead of iron.

    History

    4. Napoleon was once attacked by a horde of bunnies during a


    hunting trip.
    5. The Great Fire of London in 1666 destroyed 80% of the city but
    only caused six recorded deaths.
    6. Cleopatra lived closer in time to the moon landing than to the
    construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

    Space

    7. A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus because it


    rotates very slowly on its axis.
    8. Neutron stars are so dense that a sugar-cube-sized amount of
    their material would weigh more than a billion tons.
    9. There’s a giant hexagonal storm at Saturn’s north pole, first
    discovered by the Voyager mission.

    Animals

    10. Sea otters hold hands while they sleep to keep from
    drifting apart.
    11. A group of flamingos is called a “flamboyance.”
    12. Sloths can take up to a month to digest their food
    because of their slow metabolism.
    16. Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world
    combined.
    17. Alaska is the westernmost, easternmost, and
    northernmost state in the U.S. because the Aleutian Islands
    cross the International Date Line.
    18. The Sahara Desert used to be a lush, green region with
    lakes and vegetation around 6,000–7,000 years ago.

    Food

    19. Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of


    honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old
    and still edible.
    20. Ketchup was once sold as medicine in the 19th century.
    21. Apples float in water because they are 25% air.

    Human Body

    22. Your stomach gets a new lining every three to four days
    to prevent it from digesting itself.
    23. You produce enough saliva in a lifetime to fill two
    swimming pools.
    24. The average person blinks around 20 times per minute,
    which is over 28,000 times a day.
