Heck yeah. I like these type topics.
  • Scientists have recently discovered Mallards and Andean Cock-of-the-rocks feeding on other birds. :O 
  • Largest hailstone in Oklahoma was 6 inches in diameter, found 2 miles north of Gotebo on 5/23/11.
  • The film Twister was recorded in Wakita, Oklahoma. Sadly, several of the buildings that were demolished for the film were never rebuilt. 
Btw, I've been to Wakita but that was ages ago.

M’Baku is a villain in the original comics and is named Man-Ape there. The code name was dropped because it would look offensive by calling a black person an ape.

In the original Japanese versions of Animal Crossing game Gracie is a man. http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Gracie

Same with Paper Mario & the Thousand Year Door as Vivian is also a male who was originally depicted as transgender, identifying as female, but this was lost in translation. https://www.mariowiki.com/Vivian#Paper_M...-Year_Door

  • Abomasnow is the first Pokémon in alphabetical order.
  • Zygarde is the last Pokémon in alphabetical order.
  •  Crabominable has the most letters.
  • Mew and Muk have the least.
  • Indigo Bunting, Blue Jay, Eastern Bluebird, Common Kingfisher, many hummingbirds and sunbirds are not actually blue, or green but actually black. This is caused by refraction or iridescence. For green birds, they're actually yellow, but the structure of the feathers makes them appear green.
  • Sooty Terns can fly 3-10 years without landing. I have no idea if this is true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Vivian is my favourite Paper Mario character- despite being canonically transgender. She's so sweet and adorable. I really do like Vivian a lot. Her sisters are absolute bitches to her, too.
  • Apples are 25% air.
  • Lizards communicate by doing push-ups!
  • Shrimps have their hearts in their head. The heart is located on the dorsal side of the head, near the middle of the body.
  • Apple seeds have trace amounts of cyanide in them! One person has actually died from this- they ate a cup of apple seeds.
  • Without all the artificial colours, Coke would be a dark green.
