"Top 31 most googled facts ever"

We, humans, are born with an innate curiosity. 

If you don't believe me, ask Google! Most of the questions people search to start with the word why!

Why is the sky blue?
Why do birds stand on one leg?
Because it’s easier to roller skate that way. Just kidding. So, care to learn the answers to the most common
“whys”?
Here you go!

1. Brace yourself for an awful disappointment: flamingos are born gray. Aw! But their feathers turn pink later on because of a natural pink dye! The birds get it from their diet, which consists of blue-green algae and brine shrimp. Yum!

2. Each BIC pen has two tiny holes in it to keep the air pressure equal outside and inside. It helps the ink move toward the tip.

3. Snails aren't as harmless and cute as you might have thought; who thought snails were cute?
Snails have anywhere from 1,000 to 14,000 tiny sharp teeth. Ow.

4. The MAR MITE company, which produces spreads made from yeast extract, created a special travel size jar. The reason for this shake-up was the fact that Mar-mite became one of the most confiscated things when travelers were leaving the UK through airports.

5. In Canada, you can legally pay for your purchases in coins featuring Superman. In 2015, they produced 350,000 coins with Superman on the heads.

6. You've probably noticed that most manholes, as well as their covers, are round. First of all, this shape is easier to manufacture. Secondly, manhole covers can weigh up to 249 lbs! And their round shape makes it easier for road workers to move them from one spot to another. (Spoiler: they just roll the heavy metal disks!)And finally, around manholes can resist the compression of the Earth around them the most effectively.

7. The Rubik's Cube might be even trickier than you thought. After all, it took Erna Rubik, the creator of the famous cube, a staggering one month to solve it! On the other hand, in June 2018, the record time was already 4.22 seconds! And I haven’t even solved mine yet…

8. Leap day, which is February 29, is absolutely necessary to keep the calendar on track. Our planet doesn't orbit the sun in exactly 365 days, and the leap day compensates for the Earth's not-so-perfect orbit.

9. Square watermelons, cultivated in Japan, were supposed to fit better inside small fridges and be easier to stack. So, to stay in this unusual shape, square watermelons have to be picked before they're ripe, which makes them inedible. On the other hand, you can use them to decorate something, for example, your kitchen.

10. Yikes, stripes! Stripes serve as camouflage for tigers, effectively hiding them from other animals. But the most curious thing is that tigers have not only striped fur but striped skin as well. What's more, no two tigers have the same stripe pattern, which makes stripes something like human fingerprints.

11. In the past, men's dress shirt collars were detachable. It helped people save money on laundry costs: after all, the collar is the part of the shirt that gets dirty the fastest and most often!

12. Sunsets on Mars are blue, which has to do with the Martian air - or rather with the fine dust floating in it. This dust is just the right size for the blue light to penetrate the air more freely than the light of other colors. Interestingly, this works only in the direction of the sun, and the rest of the sky, meanwhile, remains orange or yellow.

13. Ever heard the word footage related to film making? 
It goes back to the early times of cinematography when they measured films in feet while editing them.

14. You see the sky as blue because this color travels in smaller, shorter waves. As a result, it gets scattered around more than other colors, and you can enjoy the sapphire-blue of the cloudless sky.

15. You can easily make a steak from a watermelon.
What’s this thing with watermelons lately? 
The thing is that when you bake a watermelon, most of the liquid inside evaporates, and it's textured change dramatically. As a result, it starts to resemble raw fish or even a piece of meat. There are different methods of cooking watermelons, and depending on the one you choose, it can take you from several minutes to a couple of hours to get the end result.

16. Bringing one leg up to their body helps birds keep warm when it's chilly outside. This way, they reduce the amount of heat that otherwise gets lost through their feathered legs by half.

17. The northern leopard frog is the scariest creature I've ever heard of: it swallows prey with the help of its eyes! This amphibian can press its eyes deep down into its mouth, and this movement helps the frog to swallow. Ew. By the way, this tactic is also used by some other frog and toad species. I think my brother in law can do that too.

18. Clouds may look light and fluffy, but, in fact, they’re anything but that. Researchers have discovered that one cloud can weigh more than 1 million pounds! They’ve come to this conclusion after calculating the cloud's water density and multiplying this number by the volume of the cloud. Kinda makes you think twice about standing under one of them, now doesn’t it?

19. In Singapore, you'll find the world's tallest vending machine where you can buy... a car! The unusual 15-story vending machine is filled with high-end used cars. By navigating a touchscreen on the ground floor, you can browse through cars, and as soon as you choose the one you're interested in, it’ll arrive within a couple of minutes. After you buy it, you can either have your new baby delivered, or pick it up right thereat the vending machine!

20. One of those weird questions people are super-curious about is why is my cat afraid of cucumbers? Well, first of all, cats are cautious and alert animals, and when a cucumber manages to sneak up on them, of course, they get terrified. Secondly, it's likely that cats instinctively associate cucumbers with snakes because of how elongated and green they are. But one thing worth mentioning is, Do NOT try to scare your cat with cucumbers. It's a big stress for your pet. Be nice.

21. You can't bring your pooch along if you travel to Antarctica. Since April 1994, all dogs have been banned from this continent because they could infect seals with diseases that they aren’t immune to.

22. You don't sneeze in your sleep, simply because your brain shuts down this reflex while your slumbering.

23. Science hasn't figured out for sure why people yawn, but yawning might be a special mechanism that helps your brain cool down. As for why yawning is contagious - it still remains a mystery.

24. The brain is the fattiest organ in your body because it’s composed of approximately 60%fat! Oh, and by the way, your brain generates more than 23 watts of power when it's awake.

25. From the 1920, to the 1970, shoe stores in the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and South Africa used X-ray machines to measure people's shoe size! It wasn’t until the second half of the 20th century that people realized how dangerous radiation was, and stopped this practice.

26. Super powerful earthquakes can make days shorter because they move the spin of the Earth's axis! For example, in 2011, an earthquake in Japan cut your days down by 1.8 microseconds. And the ravaging Sumatra earthquake of 2004 cost you 6.8 microseconds! Well, we’ve lost enough time here, so let’s move on.

27. Yellow is the color that is the easiest to spot, even in the darkness. That's why taxis and school buses are mostly this shade.

28. The Eiffel Tower isn't totally straight. What I mean is that the construction tends to lean away from the sun because the metal its made of heats up and expands. As a result, the tower can move as much as 7 inches!

29. While this may sound incredible, the cat starts to rumble in his brain! And only then, the brain sends commands to a cat's throat muscles, which then begin to create 25 to 150 vibrations per second! As to why cats thunder, the reasons vary so much: to feel happy or to heal, to be scared or in danger!

30. Ants may be more social than you think. Sometimes ants unify colonies and form super colonies. For example, you can find one of those colonies in Japan: more than 306 million worker ants and about 1 million queen ants live there. But that is not all. Sometimes, super colonies come together, what else does it become? Mega-Colonies! One of them includes three continents: Japan, the west coast of California and the Mediterranean coast in Europe. This mega colony, inhabited by billions of ants, is by far the most populated animal society!

31. Don't assume that light travels at the speed of, well, light. The slowest light ever ran at a speed of only 38 mph! This happened when he traveled through ultra cold nuclear gas. I think this is a good place to stop. When we start talking about gas, I can end all kinds of things.
