1. The "seductive nature" of the Green M&M is a reference to an urban legend during the 1970s that green M&Ms were aphrodisiacs.
2. Citizens of Monaco are banned from gambling or working at casinos. The famed Monte Carlo Casino is strictly for foreigners only.
3. The Milky Way Galaxy is being pulled toward a mysterious area in space called "The Great Attractor" at about 6000km/s. Whatever it is, we can't see it from Earth because it's obscured the hub of our galaxy.
4. The longest prison sentence ever given was 141,078 years, given to a Thai woman in 1989. She was released 4 years later.
5. It would take 18 months to walk the great wall of China.

4. I looked but couldn't find pictures of it. Very interesting! Clicky1. Box Jellyfish are not only the most venomous jellies to humans, but they also possess at least 24 functional eyes (of various degree) on its body despite having no centralized brain. Four of its eyes always peer up out of the water regardless of the animal's body position; some eyes can make out images, others are more primitive. 2. A sloth's claws aren't actually made of creatine, they're their finger bones protruding from their flesh. 3. The rarest precious jewels in the universe are not diamonds or rubies, they're pearls and amber.. Most precious stones just need minerals and pressure, and that's found everywhere. Amber needs trees, and pearls need oysters, and those are only on earth. 4. Sugar is pretty much tasteless to cats. They don't have taste buds for sweetness. 5. Did you know that cats aren't technically domesticated? They're still technically wild. Thank you! It's also called Ear Tomb. Maybe why I had a hard time finding it 1. Jellyfish are magnificient creatures. Wouldn't want to be in a "sea" of them though!
2. Finger bones, huh? Never would have guessed!
3. That makes sense!
4. But they do have an affinity for tuna even though they are more often than not away from water! Tuna & Cats5. They act like it lol

2. Is that good or bad? lol Keep the locals from gambling too much so they can use the money in other areas.
3. By the time we pull into it, Earth may be long dead.
4. Why don't they just say "Life"? Those numbers are just stupid & makes the Judge look stupid!

1. The Flemish giant rabbit can grow to be the size of a dog.
2. Owls cannot turn their eyes in their sockets, they are fixed in place which is why they do the little head rolls/bobs. Its their method of depth perception.
3. If a month begins on a Sunday, it will have a Friday the 13th.

5. Kangaroos can pause their pregnancy.

1. Many house cats wandering neighborhoods are more likely to visit a neighbor if they use the same detergent as their owners.
2. Exercise allows you to become smarter and faster.
3. Over 46% of ocean waste is fishing nets. And commercial fishing kills more animals in the ocean than any plastic does.
4. Youtubers who 'find' animals in distress with the camera running usually put animals in distress to look like heroes.
5. In 1933, a doctor named Carl Tanzler raided the tomb of a female patient with whom he'd become obsessed and stole her body. He lived with the corpse for seven years. As the body fell apart, he attached the corpse's bones together with wire and coat hangers, and fitted the face with glass eyes. He was only caught when someone saw him dancing with the corpse in front of an open window.

1. In 2019, there was a document about internet predators. The filmmakers hired three young-looking actresses and let them pose as 12yo girls on social media for 10 days. They received 2458 messages. Only one of them actually wanted to chat, the rest were sexual predators.
2. There are dogs and cats on YouTube that made more money than you and your parents working your whole life.
3. Paradoxical undressing happens during the last stages of hypothermia. as your nerves are damaged, the person removes all of their clothing in freezing temperatures because they feel irrationally hot.
4. Tree Man syndrome (condition where the HPV to grow uncontrollably to the point that the skin starts looking like tree bark).
5. Once symptoms start, rabies has a 100% mortality rate. Fortunately, the incubation period is several months, so get that shot ASAP.

Fortunately, the incubation period is several months, so get that shot ASAP. 1. & I'm sure it's worse now! Not just with the predators but adults letting their kids have unlimited access with their cell phones!
2. I believe it! YouTube is a great job if you have the right niche.
3. I can understand that. It's like having a fever with chills. Your body is confused.
4. So sad! We have preventative measures in most countries at least.
5. Most pets are required by law to get the Rabies shot but humans aren't required unless they work in animal shelters. A note however, studies have shown the 1 year & 3 year dose is the same thing. Many reports have shown that the body is smart. Shots can provide immunity for up to 7 years! Titer tests can prove that. Unfortunately, they are more expensive than the actual shot BUT less toxic.
