Random facts

Death fact: There is a town in Norway in which it is illegal to die. The reason is, the town's only cemetary closed over 70 years ago because people who were interred there have yet to decompose, and there was a lethal flu outbreak there in 1917, which they didn't want to release again on the town by digging up corpses.

A sunflower is not just one flower. Both the fuzzy brown center and the classic yellow petals are actually 1,000 – 2,000 individual flowers, held together on a single stalk.
 
It is unlikely that any two snowflakes are alike due to the estimated 1019 (10 quintillion) water molecules which make up a typical snowflake, which grow at different rates and in different patterns depending on the changing temperature and humidity within the atmosphere that the snowflake falls through on its way to its destination.
In 1988, Nancy Knight was documenting snowflakes for the National Center for Atmospheric Research and found two identical snowflakes of the hollow column type.
 
Wow I would have thought fleas. Did you know that in 1940, the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service bombed Ningbo with fleas carrying the bubonic plague. During the Khabarovsk War Crime Trials, the accused, such as Major General Kiyashi Kawashima, testified that, in 1941, some 40 members of Unit 731 air-dropped plague-contaminated fleas on Changde. These operations caused epidemic plague outbreaks.
 
Butterflies might be more attracted to your weeds than your flowers.Colorful blooms aren't the chief reason these insects love your garden it's more about the fragrance and nectar. According to the Smithsonian Institute, new cultivars of popular flowers have been bred for enhanced color and size, but have often lost their fragrance in the process. So everyday weeds, like dandelions and clovers, might actually be the most appealing things in your yard to butterflies (they hate pesticides, too). Taking care to choose heirloom flower seeds can get them to also fly your way.
 
A myth that cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion is false but they can survive ten times what a human being can survive.
