“Supposedly people who have been deaf from birth but who aren’t mute do not make the same sounds when sneezing as people who are not deaf.

“Mantis shrimp’s punch. That impossible punch similar to a .22 bullet, 1500+ newtons of force and the cavitation bubble that reaches tempreature hotter than the surface of sun. All of this in under 3 milli second. WHAT.”

“Keep in mind that this punch is executed underwater, with all the momentum-killing water resistance that implies. They can’t be kept in regular aquariums because of this. Mantis shrimps can punch through glass.”

“Apparently there’s a cloud somewhere in space scientists believe is made out of the same chemicals as alcohol.

“There’s a booze cloud in space.”

“Discovered in 1995 near the constellation Aquila, the cloud is 1000 times larger than the diameter of our solar system. It contains enough ethyl alcohol to fill 400 trillion trillion pints of beer. To down that much alcohol, every person on earth would have to drink 300,000 pints each day—for one billion years.

“Sadly, for those of you planning an interstellar pub crawl, the cloud is 58 quadrillion miles away. It’s also a cocktail of 32 compounds, some of them as nasty as carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia.”

“This isn’t the only one they’ve found.. there’s several. Alcohol is an organic compound.”
