Is everyone who has blue eyes related?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
If you have blue eyes, you may be related to every other blue-eyed person in the world. Researchers in Denmark have found that every person with blue eyes descends from just one "founder," an ancestor whose genes mutated 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Before then, everyone had brown eyes.

How high can you go without oxygen?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
We pass out when the pressure drops below 57 percent of atmospheric pressure — equivalent to that at an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,572 meters). Climbers can push higher because they gradually acclimate their bodies to the drop in oxygen, but no one survives long without an oxygen tank above 26,000 feet (7925 m).

How long is a cat's memory span?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
A cat's memory is thought to be at least 200 times better than a dog's. But as any cat owner knows, felines are more selective, and remember what they think is useful to them. Short term memory for a dog is about five minutes; cats remember much longer, up to 16 hours. Long term memory is harder to determine.

What part of the plant is a carrot?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
When we eat corn or peas we are eating seeds, and when we eat radish or carrot, we are eating roots. Cauliflower and broccoli plants produce flowers we like to eat. Potatoes grow under- ground, but the part we eat is not a root.

Which country first adopted time zones?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
On November 2, 1868, the then-British colony of New Zealand officially adopted a standard time to be observed throughout the colony, and was perhaps the first country to do so. It was based on the longitude 172°30′ East of Greenwich, that is 11 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT.

How much of air is nitrogen?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
The common name given to the atmospheric gases used in breathing and photosynthesis is air. By volume, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%.

Why does Aspirin help during a heart attack?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
Platelets are cells that clump together and help to form blood clots. Aspirin keeps platelets from clumping together, thus helping to prevent or reduce blood clots. During a heart attack. Blood clots form in an already-narrowed artery and block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.

Can pure water conduct electricity?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
A solution conducts current when positive and negative ions are randomly dissolved in it. Pure water doesn't have enough ions but when you add HCl you add a strong electrolyte so, after the addition, solution can conduct electricity very well.

Are clouds made up of liquid or gas?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
Clouds, snow, and rain are all made of up of some form of water. A cloud is comprised of tiny water droplets and/or ice crystals, a snowflake is an aggregate of many ice crystals, and rain is just liquid water. Water existing as a gas is called water vapor.

Is a camel spider a spider?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
It belongs to the class Arachnida, but while all spiders are arachnids, not all arachnids are spiders. Another common name is wind scorpion, but it's not a scorpion, either. The camel spider is of the Solifugae order, which is Latin for “those who flee from the sun.”

🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
Pogs were a short lived fad in the mid-90s. It involved throwing a small heavy disc, called a Slammer, on top of a stack of cardboard circles, called POGs. The game was popular with grade schoolers and other stupid people. POGs were caps to a bottled drink of the same name.

What are the elements that make up living things?
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
The six most common elements in living things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Atoms of these elements combine and form thousands of large molecules. These large molecules make up the structures of cells and carry out many processes essential to life.

That's 3 main rings and 5 dusty rings for a total of 8 rings, 9 if you count the Cassini Division. But there are even more rings around Saturn. There's the Janus Ring, the Methone Ring Arc, the Anthe Ring Arc and the Pallene Ring, as well as the Roche Division.

❓What colors make you feel hungry?
✅ It's one of the reasons why most fast food colors are orange and red and why the color yellow makes babies cry. We know through many scientific tests that red causes us to feel hungry and we know that yellow makes babies think they are in the sunlight so thy cry to tell their moms that they don't like it.

❓Which species is most closely related to humans?
✅ Humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and their extinct ancestors form a family of organisms known as the Hominidae. Researchers generally agree that among the living animals in this group, humans are most closely related to chimpanzees, judging from comparisons of anatomy and genetics.

⁉️ Do octopuses have three hearts?
✅ Octopuses have three hearts. Two branchial hearts pump blood through each of the two gills, while the third is a systemic heart that pumps blood through the body. Octopus blood contains the copper-rich protein hemocyanin for transporting oxygen.

⁉️ What animal's name means river horse?
✅ Word History The ancient Greeks gave the name hippopotamos to a big, barrel-shaped animal they saw in Africa. English, using the Latin spelling hippopotamus, has kept this name. It is a combination of the Greek words hippos, meaning "horse" and potamos, meaning "river."
