There’s grafted plant called a ‘pomato’ or ‘tomtato’ that produces both potatoes and tomatoes.

A small school of piranhas can reduce a small child to bone in less than a minute.

Also, I'm no longer welcome at the aquarium.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Apparently, a deep brood box for bees is the perfect material and size for a 112 guitar cabinet.

Harry Price was a British psychic researcher and author, who gained public prominence for his investigations into psychical phenomena and exposing fraudulent spiritualist mediums. He is best known for his well-publicised investigation of the purportedly haunted Borley Rectory in Essex, England.

Counterintuitively, seasickness can actually be worse on an empty stomach. That said, the sort of foods they’re giving the passengers here would probably be among the worse foods… even if someone’s wife didn’t force the entire crew to have a swim at the worst possible time and give everyone but the captain ptomaine poisoning.

The common claim that the human brain (specifically the prefrontal cortex) stops developing at 25 comes from the work of neuroscientist Jay Giedd. How did he come up with this number? Well, it turns out that he just stopped studying the brains of the children in question at about 25. I can only assume that he saw the prefrontal cortex of a 25 year old, thought it was close enough to a fully developed cortex, and just stopped there.
