Well, If Jeremy Clarkson is any indication, the average potato farm yields 7-8 tons per acre. And, when looking it up to corroborate, that’s actually lower than average.

There is a frog known as the 'scrotum frog' that is apparently an endangered species.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/end...uxbndlbing
"According to the video, the frogs' official name is the Lake Titicaca water frog. Their nickname, "scrotum frogs," is a reference to the "saggy folds of excess skin, which they use to absorb oxygen from the waters of Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia."

Kyle MacLachlan got a piggyback ride on Frank Herbert's back.
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"

In 1974, Egypt sent the mummy of Ramesses II to Paris for restoration work. However, French law mandates that every person entering France must do so under a valid passport - it makes no distinction between living and dead persons. This required Egypt to issue a passport to an Egyptian pharaoh 3000 years after his death.
