Crows can recognise faces and human behaviour. If you create a stressful situation with a crow it will warn others and it's offspring that you are a dangerous person. It will also remember if you are nice to it, so will recommend you to its family and friends :) Which is why the crows who visit my garden bring their babies to eat too xx

WW2 relicts. I remember an anecdote, where a railway station was temporarily shut down because of that. An English speaking couple was terrified and asked "Do they know, who planted the bomb?" The dry (and correct) answer was "Yup, the Royal Air Force"

It's only partially true, this (and I speak from experience). If you've got cirrosis (even if it's non alcohol related) your liver never quite recovers, and the 'dead' or hardened bits never regenerate / regrow. but the other bits will compensate so it's all good unless your whole liver shuts down, then you're basically buggered unless you can find a donor / get a transplant

I've heard that if you chew gum while studying something you will recall it easier as well when you chew gum.

They build small fences at spawning season and dig in buckets. Toads end up in buckets, which are regularly (once or twice a day, I think) emptied into the next pond.

They raise your hair. In hairier beasts, this raised hair makes them look bigger and scarier, not worth the risk. We puny humans have lost our thick hairy body covering.

Again, more information needed. Even modern maps show Finland exist even though conspiracy theorists have found it was just made up. Seriously.
