Things I learned lately 4 June

  • Anatomically, dogs have 2 arms and 2 legs - not 4 legs. The front arms have wrist joints and are connected to the skeleton by muscle and the back legs have hip joints and knee caps.
  • Haiti's first head of state called Polish people "the White Negroes of Europe", which was then regarded a great honour, as it meant brotherhood between Poles and Haitians. This is because Polish soldiers, who had originally been fighting with the French, participated in the Haitian revolution of 1804 alongside the Haitians, contributing to the establishment of the world's first free black republic and the first independent Caribbean state.
  • Jack Black's parents were satellite engineers.
  • Peppers are spicy as a defence against predators who would eat them.
  • Here are all the varieties of Cheerios that have been made; Regular Cheerios; toasted coconut; blueberry; maple; oat crunch; peach; honey nut; multigrain; apple cinnamon; chocolate; fruity; frosted; banana nut; oat crunch almond; oat crunch oats n honey; chocolate peanut butter; chocolate strawberry; cinnamon; medley crunch; very berry; pumpkin spice.
  • 39% of people have an extra bone in their knee. 100 years ago only 11% of people had this bone.
  • Your body must warm fluids before absorbing them, so drinking ice cold water to hydrate is only burning more energy, and you're not hydrating as quickly.
