For a few months, we have been collecting the strangest and most interesting facts we could find and turning them into cool drawings that we post on our Instagram. We have over 150 drawing ideas and counting now!

In our quest for strange facts, we came across all kinds of topics including nature, culture, climate, history, and technology. And we have discovered things we didn’t know about farts, selfies, pizzas, sweat, Ikea, Nutella, and even sex toys.

Here are 69 of our coolest facts! We hope they’ll intrigue you as much as they intrigued us. You can also visit our Instagram for more of these enlightening funny drawings!

Not to save the bees, but to stick it to anyone who will pay the price of gold just to have honey to eat. I still have cravings for toast, with churned butter that even I was allowed to have my turn, & fresh honey, from the honey farm, just up the road. And, don't even get me started on how much I miss honeycomb. NO! Not the cereal! The real thing, with the honey still in the combs. That stopped when we moved back to the flattest province in Canada in 1973. I was 16, & never knew I'd never realized, how very much I'd miss the smell of the ocean, or how tiny I felt when looking up at a mountain. Now, we're both 63, disabled & living on a very fixed income, so vacation doesn't seem likely kkiuttyy

I know it's not rational to be a little sad about that, but it is. And my brain retains factoids like this, so now I'll always think of it when I have honey now.

    Ants are also know to tend gardens of aphids for their honeydew secretions, meaning that they engage in animal husbandry as well. Even though, they are just sucking sugar juice off a bug's butt.

    It's eight limbs, the type of limbs on an octopus are called arms. Some sources refer to two of them as "legs" as they are known to chose two arms for floor locomotion They are not, scientifically speaking, legs in any way. Octopuses have eight arms.

    Plants defend themselves with chemicals. E.g. lot of what makes herbs taste good to us makes them less palatable to insects. Some plants emit certain substances when they are strongly damaged and other plants can react to that. I wouldn't consider that actual communication, though - the emitted substance might just be accidental, or help with the healing. I mean, you wouldn't call it a secret signal if one animal sheds blood and another animal sees it and is extra cautious of predators.

    ...and before the United States Post Office came up with the idea of self-adhesive stamps (1974) for the 10-cent stamp, but that was a fail. They re-grouped and tried again in 1994 (!!) . No more licking stamps! Gee, brilliant idea. Wonder what took so long?

    The Scotsman James Chalmers put forward this idea in December 1837 . However, Sir Rowland Hill is more commonly stated to have invented the idea of adhesive postage stamps, having put it forward at the time of his evidence before the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Management of the Post-Office Department on 13 February 1837.

    I don't know, but they are probably completely ordinary books. The nazis used human skin to bind books as if it were a natural thing to do. I even heard an anecdote of an actress who lived in a little village in Argentina and she befriended this lovely elderly couple of German emigrants. One day they showed her the most valuable thing they owned: a very old Bible... bound in human skin. Imagine binding a Bible in human skin!!!! Or any other book! But a Bible!!!!!

    This is a hoax: According to George Yaghmour, a licensed physician working at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, the consequences of such use of coconut water would not be nice at all. In fact, coconut water is not going to imitate extracellular plasma, but actually intracellular fluids. During periods of crisis such as serious wars or epidemics, coconut water could certainly have served as an alternative for medical personnel to gain time with the cure. In reality, however, the levels of acidity, hypotonia and potassium do not make coconut water the perfect solution for resuscitation. From: Bufale.net

    A teacher of mine mentioned that all (dont know if this is 100% true) preys have their eyes on the side of their faces to spot predators while predators have them facing forward to focus on their prey better. Hence why nearly all preys can see approximately 360 degrees around due to the position of their eyes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is the only thing I remember from elementary school.

    6 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    It's pretty much accurate. The forward facing eyes give predators the ability to better estimate the distance to the prey. Prey, on the other hand only needs to see that something is there and the direction without knowing the exact distance.

    They didn't, but Russia was in debt. They had previously traded Russian vodka for Pepsi products, but that wasn't enough to cover their bill. A more interesting fact is that Pepsico was very briefly the worlds 6th largest navy. The russians also gave them a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer (all of which were obsolete ships from the Soviet mothball fleet). More realistically, the Russians paid for their pepsi with scrap metal.

    As far as I know, every trustworthy source, including Jobs himself, state the name choice was really just random, because he likes apples. But people did try to give it deeper meaning over time. However, Jobs insisted, it was just random.

    Steve Jobs was a friend of mine, we came to know each other back in 1997. He came up with the name while on fruit-diet, he was coming back from an apple farm, and thought the name sounded “fun, spirited and not intimidating", he later offered this same explanation to Walter Isaacson while the latter was working on Steve's biography.

    Yes but feeding a lion an already dead animal isn't messed up it's nature, but bringing in a stray just to have it eaten alive is kind of dark (if thats how they do it) or just to have an animal think its found a family only for it to be used for a free ticket

    Actually, they say it is not sudden death to die this way, since you stay alive for very short after the cut. It might appear short enough for those who see it, but for the unfortunate one who experiences it, it's long enough to die a painful and traumatic death.

    "ciao" is italian for "hello" or "goodbye", but it comes from Venice dialect "sciao vostro" literally "i'm your slave", or more appropriatley "I'm at your service", a greeting used a long time ago. Nobody apart from linguist geeks knows that nowadays, it's just an informal greeting.

    Nobody apart from linguist geeks? I wouldn't say so. We are taught about this regularly in elementary school in my hometown...? It's true it derives from "slave", but how that word became a greeting, I heard different stories. Yours included. Others are about the way of addressing Slavic slaves (hence, "Slav" also means "slave"), and so it slowly became a greeting. Another story was on a more cheerful note, about how womanizers greeted women with "I'm your slave" to appear more flattering. I believe each story holds a bit of truth.

    Actually, unlike Apollo era suits, the current NASA Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) suits used on board the ISS are "mix-and-match" - the torso and limbs come in several standard sizes so that they can be assembled to fit a specific astronaut, but they aren't made to measure. The soviet Orlan suit is even simpler, since it is a semi-rigid one-size-fits all suit which is entered from the backpack which also functions as a hatch. Of course, that also means it will only accommodate cosmonauts between 165 and 190cm, so they simply don't accept cosmonauts which are taller or shorter. NASA's next-gen suit will be a mix of both designs, with the torso being accessed from the back, but with interchangeable limbs to allow for greater size variations.

    There is one teaspoon of sugar in one tablespoon of ketchup. A teaspoon of sugar really did make the medicine go down.

    At first, yeah. But then when you think about it, why would someone keep a cracked phone? They either have no money to repair it, or they don't care that much (implication of being untidy). That is, of course, not always the case, but you want to give your best image at your dates and job interviews.

    Maybe I'm weird but it would make me think he might have a bad temper. I realize that phone screen get cracked in a myriad of ways, and I wouldn't automatically label him as aggressive, but it would put up a red flag for me to watch out for it

    Typing this without double-checking first. But I think it was because there was still part of the brain stem attached.

    You’re absolutely correct. Because it was cut at a weird angle or something, there was enough stem for basic life functions. Had to fed with a dropper and died by choking while on tour.

    I actually live in the town where this happened! Every year we have a "Mike the Headless Chicken Festival", and there's a 5k, live music, and eating contests. It's a lot of fun :)

    How did it eat and drink without a head? Maybe it lived without part of it's brain, but not without its head.

    To all the Pandas freaking out... this is worldwide and a total... a quick Wikipedia search finds restaurants in China and a Swiss Christmas dish amongst others. I’m sure there’s someone else eating your 1/600 of a cat where it’s culturally all right.

    People here are big hypocrites. The US consumes way more cows, pigs and chickens then china does cats. It is culturally fine to eat in some places. This would be like Chinese people hating Americans for eating cows.

    Why is that disgusting, but eating cows, chicken, pigs, etc. isn't? Hypocrites.
