If you made $10,000 per day, every day since the pyramids were built around 4,500 years ago, you'd have 6% of Elon Musk's wealth.

The difference between Million and Billion is more than we think. To put it in perspective, 1 million seconds is about 12 days while 1 billion seconds is equivalent to 31.7 years.People-Share-Cool-Fun-Facts
Koalas are literally smooth-brained, so much so that if you put a plate of eucalyptus leaves in front of them that have been taken off the branch, they won’t recognize them as food.

Birds are classified as extant dinosaurs, not just descended from them. They are actual living, breathing dinosaurs.

The sound of an ATM drawing cash is a manufactured sound. It's just to let you know that the ATM is indeed working and that your money is coming up.

Your nose is impacting your vision 100% of the time. However, since your "picture" you see is just an interpretation by your brain, your brain erases your nose as useless information. You'll only see it, if you really concentrate on it, if you close one eye, or if you put your finger on the very tip of your nose. It seems like a harmless fact until this thought enters your head... "Your nose is real. Your brain removes it from your vision as useless, but it is very much there, and very much real. What other things is your brain removing from your vision?" It's wild to think that your entire life experience is just your brain doing it's best to interpret your senses. And that it's definitely not a "perfect" system. It could be interpreting everything incorrectly, and we collectively wouldn't have any idea.

Ok, this fact has connected facts: In late 1800s girl killed herself by jumping from bridge on Sienna river and she was known as The Unknown Woman of the Seine. When the guy who worked in morgue saw her, he thought she was beautiful and ordered a plaster cast of her face. Fast foward to 1960s, CPR was invented and they needed a doll to train people. So they partnered with Norwegian producer of medical devices. That guy decided to use the plaster cast of Unknown Woman of the Seine and named the doll Anne(Annie) because his doughter was named Anne(Annie). While performing CPR, people were trained to talk to a doll(person) so there is that common phrase:"Annie! Annie are you ok?" Fast foward to when Michael Jackson decided to put that phrase in his classic "Smooth Criminal".People-Share-Cool-Fun-Facts

There is a plant called the California Corn Lilly that contains a drug called Cyclopamine. When animals eat it while pregnant, it can cause cyclopia (one eye). It inhibits a signaling pathway called the Sonic Hedgehog Pathway (yes, this pathway was actually named after the video game).

Moose are really good swimmer's and even swim from island to island to feed on the underwater vegetation But orcas will occasionally stumble across then and hunt them down and moose haven't evolved far enough for them to know that orcas are predators

Pufferfish contain a toxin in their spikes that kills predators. It has a slightly different effect on dolphins though, in that it gets them high. So teenage dolphins will pass around pufferfish and impale themselves off of them to get stoned.

When sea otters find a rock they like to bust open clams, they will tuck it under a fold of skin in their armpit. They also hold each other’s paws while they’re sleeping so they don’t float away from each other. Baby otters aren’t buoyant enough to stay afloat so they will sleep on their mom’s tummies until they’re older.

Steven Seagal once told Gene LeBell that he was immune to being choked out from doing so much martial arts training, so Gene choked him out and he sh*t his pants.

You don't use shock paddles on a stopped heart. Shock paddles simply put a heart back in to a natural rhythm, they will not restart a heart if it has stopped. That's what chest compressions are for.

Manatees regulate buoyancy by farting. They eat a ton of plants and accumulate a lot of methane. They then release gas when they want to sink and hold it in when they want to go to the surface or are being polite.This Panda hasn't followed anyone yet
