Platypuses sweat milk. Okay, not really. Also, this is kind of icky.._First_Description_1799.jpg)
They secrete milk from specialised mammary glands, just like humans and other mammals. But platypuses don’t have teats, so the milk just oozes from the surface of their skin. This makes it look like sweat, but in fact platypuses are aquatic and don’t produce regular sweat at all. (source)
Pumpkins are a type of berry – a wickedly GINORMOUS berry.
Stingrays (the fish, not the cars) give birth to live bébés. They keep their eggs inside their bodies until they hatch, then give birth to fully formed bébé rays. 
A dead or dying stingray can give birth to a live pup. Pregnant stingrays can go into an involuntary, stress-induced premature labor as a final, desperate survival reflex to save the bairn. Mother nature is a rager!
Before crowbars were invented, crows would drink at home, alone. Sad.
Notre Dame Cathedral is older than Machu Picchu. Construction on Notre Dame, the Gothic cathedral in Paris, began in 1163 and was pretty much done by 1260. Machu Picchu, the Incan fortress in Peru was built around 1420 to 1450. My mind…it's blown
Liza Minnelli was Judy Garland’s daughter. Judy Garland was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Liza was, at once time, married to Jack Haley Jr. whose father, Jack Haley Sr., played the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz. 
Wombats are the only known animals that produce cube-shaped poop. Wombats are, like me, pretty antisocial but have communal latrines (I, by the way, don't use a communal latrine unless the bathroom I share with Ten counts?). Wombat communal cans are generally rocks or logs. Their cube-shaped poops are wicked practical as they don’t roll off and away.
WHY is this good? You know how dogs, when they’re out for on walkies, sniff every tree, bush and what-have-you they pass? They’re reading the local news – getting the latest gossip. Same with wombats.
If humans had wings that enabled them/us to fly, how big would they need to be? It would, of course, depend on a person’s size. Ty Hedrick, a professor of biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says that someone who's about 155 pounds and at least 5 feet tall would need a wingspan of about 20 feet.
Hedrick arrived at this figure using an equation developed by Robert Nudds, a senior lecturer in biological sciences at the University of Manchester. Nudds described this equation in a 2007 paper published in the Journal of Avian Biology, in which he describes the scaling of bird wing parameters with respect to body mass. (source)

Flying would be way cool but, frankly, heights scare me and I’d just be thrilled to itty bitty bits if I could walk easily and without assistance again.
The Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex existed further apart in time (~90 million years) than the T Rex and the iPad (~66 million years).
Our old buddy the Stegosaurus roamed the Earth during the late Jurassic period, between 156 and 144 million years ago. Tyrannosaurus rex hung out during the late Cretaceous period, about 67–65 million years ago. The two did NOT cross paths.
Evolutionarily speaking, the Y-chromosome is a mutated X-chromosome.
While the Y chromosome is indeed a heavily mutated and degenerated descendant of the X, geneticists usually describe it as a divergent evolutionary branch rather than a mutation of the female blueprint itself. Both male and female sexes originally diverged from a common, unisex ancestor. (source)So, men are actually mutant women. How da ya like that! NATURALLY this goes a long way towards supporting my supposition that the Bible, the whole Adam and Eve myth, was written by a desperately insecure man.
I KNEW IT!!!
