Saying that she worked at the school is good guess, it's pretty clear that she was only pretending to be a student. Perhaps it was something like a case I once heard of: A girl's parents put a lot of pressure on her to be an academic star and to get into a certain university, and the university the parents set their heart on didn't accept the girl. She didn't have the heart to tell the parents, so she went to the university, crashed the dorms and lectures, and spent months convincing everyone she was a student. Eventually she was found out, sent home to face her parents, etc. I don't think criminal charges were filed, but the university made its dorms a lot more secure after that.

Dinosaurs weren't a thing until the 19th century, they weren't found in large numbers until then and they weren't studied scientifically. The 19th century doesn't get enough credit for the massive social, technological, and scientific changes that took place in 100 years.

Someone won a Nobel Prize by doing large-scale research on large historical and current famines, and found the same pattern in every one: There was always enough food to feed everyone, but in a famine, large numbers of people just had no access to the food. They were either deprived of food, or weren't given enough resources to afford food.

And the babies slept very quietly after their baths! But seriously, water was often contaminated in the ancient world, and alcohol killed bacteria so it might actually have been a good idea. Did you know that Roman army was able to conquer much of the known world because they carried huge vats of low-quality wine and mixed it with whatever drinking water they found? It killed enough pathenogenic microbia that the armies didn't get sick en masse in dubious areas.

Mammalian plasma is 0.09% saline, which is the same as human blood, which is in turn the same as seawater. So why the hell aren't the animals on these smallish islands drinking sea water if they can process that much salt?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most slave-owning cultures pretty undiscriminating about who they enslave? The ancient Romans took slaves of all races from all over the known world, same for the Vikings and Mongols, and most peoples that engaged in conquest and slavery.

There's a difference between incest and inbreeding, and inbreeding is far more common through royal history. Not all the pharaohs practiced incestuous marriage, that went in and out of fashion as royal dynasties came and went over thousands of years, but inbreeding? Everywhere there was a limited aristocracy there was inbreeding. I mean there hundreds of royal families in Europe over the last thousand years... but as they married and intermarried over the centuries, they using a gene pool the size of a small town. Over time, they must have become practically genetically identical, which isn't healthy.

I've seen 4-5 male damselflies pile onto one female during mating season, and push her under the surface of the water. I hope she could surface and fly off again, but for a lot of small insects, if they're pushed under the surface and their wings get saturated... there's no coming back.

When I was a kid, my brother would wake up with mystery cuts on his torso. After a while, we realized that he was sleeping on a spring mattress, and that one of the springs had worked loose and a bit of sharp wire was poking through the mattress, where it could cause small scrapes.

Yeah, even if the person didn't consciously see the tree, he did subconsciously, who knows how. And yes, we have more than five senses, I myself would have died 15 years ago if I hadn't paid attention to a gut feeling. I had a strong feeling that if I didn't get to a hospital right away I'd die, and sure enough, I needed major surgery and several blood transfusions.

Mary Toft reportedly ‘gave birth’ to up to nine rabbits at a time, Doctors were convinced that she was telling the truth until they found pieces of corn inside the stomach of one of the rabbits, proving that it hadn’t developed inside Toft’s womb. It turned out that she had been manually inserting the rabbits to make the ‘delivery’ look as realistic as possible. Ew.
