You might be surprised to learn that the universe is packed with unusual facts. Sometimes, reality is more bizarre than invented stories. Below are a few interesting facts to expand your knowledge.
Let's begin with this: natural honey never spoils. In fact, scientists have found vessels containing honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are millennia old and still safe to eat. This is due to its unique chemical structure that makes it difficult for bacteria to survive.
Moving on to animals, the octopus actually have three hearts. Two of them pump blood to the respiratory system, while the other one Facts pumps it to the rest of the body. Interestingly, when an octopus moves quickly, the heart that delivers blood to the body takes a break, which is why they tend to crawl rather than float.
Another weird fact: botanically speaking, pumpkins are berries, however, strawberries are not. Science is often confusing like that! On top of that, cucumbers are technically fruit, not veggies.
