Damn, once (a couple of years ago) I went out of toilet so scared as hell... But soon remembered that I had eaten actually.

You probably won't be able to get through this list without doing some research of your own.
These are 25 unbelievably hard to believe facts.
Lobsters don't grow old and die. In fact, as far as scientists can tell they only die of external causes.
Saturn's rings are only between 30 and 300 feet thick
If you eat a polar bear liver, you will die. Humans can't handle that much vitamin A.
Honey does not spoil. You could feasibly eat 5000 year old honey
If you were to remove all of the empty space from the atoms that make up every human on earth, the entire world population could fit into an apple
A mantis shrimp can swing its claw so fast it boils the water around it and creates a flash of light.
There are more possible iterations of a game of chess than there are atoms in the known universe (look up the Shannon number)
A full head of human hair is strong enough to support 12 tons.
Dead people can get goosebumps.
There are more confirmed deaths from drowning in molasses than from coyote attacks. (21 people died in the 1919 Boston Molasses Disaster. Only 2 fatal coyote-on-human attacks have been confirmed)
If you could fold a piece of paper in half 42 times, it would reach the moon (assuming it is of average thickness ~ 0.01cm)
Neil Armstrong went through U.S. customs in Honolulu, Hawaii, on the way back from the moon
You get a fractal tattoo after being struck by lightning (it's called a Lichtenberg figure)
Figs have dead wasps inside them. This is because wasps crawl inside, lay their eggs, and die. In doing so they help to pollinate and are eventually digested by the fig's enzymes.
At launch, the iPhone had the same computing power as NASA in 1969 when it launched the historical manned mission to the moon
Elvis was a natural blond
The song "Happy Birthday to You" is copyrighted
The average chocolate bar contains eight insect parts
Saudi Arabia imports camels from Australia.
The song Coconut has only one chord in the entire song. It is the only song without any chord changes to reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It reached #8 in 1972.
A super sonic jet once broke the sound barrier over a field of turkeys. The sonic boom gave the turkey's a heart attack killing all of them
If you had a long enough straw, you could only suction water upwards the length of 10 meters. After that water spontaneously boils
Alpacas can die of loneliness. When bought they alway need to be bought in pairs.
Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman
If you do not have a child, you will be the first in your direct lineage, all the way back to beginnings of human history, to do so

Канны-2014: от «Майдана» до «Левиафана» — Кино — Афиша-Воздух
"Прогноз о резком повышении внимания всего мира к России неожиданно оправдался объявленной во Франции программой Каннского кинофестиваля. В конкурсе, в отличие от прошлого года, участвует российский фильм — четвертая полнометражная лента Андрея Звягинцева «Левиафан». В суровой, судя по всему, драме, которая снималась на Кольском полуострове, главную роль сыграл Алексей Серебряков — незаурядный артист, который уехал жить в Канаду, а на родине снимается довольно редко. Про предыдущую картину Звягинцева «Елена», которая участвовала (и получила приз) в параллельном «Особом взгляде», многие западные критики писали восторженно, сетуя на отборочную комиссию, не включившую столь эффектную ленту в конкурс. На этот раз пожелание выполнено, и Звягинцев, во второй раз после «Изгнания» (также награжденного, за лучшую мужскую роль), будет состязаться с другими каннскими завсегдатаями — от братьев Дарденн до Кена Лоуча.
Звягинцев — один из немногих российских режиссеров, которых в Каннах всегда ждут, приглашая фильм за фильмом. Другой такой счастливец — живущий в Европе, но снимающий на русском языке космополит Сергей Лозница. Обе его игровые работы, «Счастье мое» и «В тумане», участвовали в конкурсе, но не все, даже из числа поклонников этих радикальных лент, знают Лозницу как выдающегося документалиста. В этом году впервые в Канны приглашен неигровой полный метр Лозницы — и не абы какой: в программу спецпоказов включен его фильм «Майдан», снимавшийся в самый разгар исторических событий в Киеве, в конце 2013-го и первые месяцы 2014 года. Это будет, вероятно, первая возможность увидеть Майдан глазами не пропагандиста или репортера, но художника — и при этом свидетеля. Премьера запросто может обернуться международным скандалом: Лозницу и в более спокойные времена напрямую обвиняли в русофобии и прочих фантастических грехах. ..."

"Butterfly populations have been decreasing due to habitat loss, climate change and pesticide use. Butterflies are very important for pollination.
Many species of butterfly require overripe fruit to supplement their diets. Decaying fruits have carbohydrates and minerals that most butterflies need.
Help butterflies thrive by doing the following:
Place a large plate or dish outside with another smaller dish within it. Fill the outer larger dish with enough water to keep ants from the smaller dish. Place overripe fruit on the smaller plate cut in sections so they are easy to feed upon. Don't smash the fruit so the butterflies do not become stuck accidentally. Instead simply slice fruit pieces you would otherwise throw out and place them on the smaller plate. It will help the butterflies thrive! It is best to replace the fruit pieces either daily or when the fruit has begun to rot. No longer than a couple of days at a time however."

29 Photos Of Russia You Won’t Believe Are 100 Years Old
Photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) made a survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II.
He used a special camera with red, green, and blue filters, which allowed them to be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns that nearly show their true color.
