• What huge mammal is totally incapable of jumping?
What's something weird about a crocodile that you've never noticed?
Here are 10 of the dumbest facts that you absolutely need to know right now.
15 – Egyptians shaved their eyebrows for cats,
• Back in Ancient Egypt, cats were so revered by the people that killing one meant you were
immediately put to death.
And people would save their cats from a burning building before their own children.
• Now here's the crazy part: if your cat died in the household, every member of the
family would shave off their eyebrows as a sign of grief for their dead pet, and only
grow them back when they'd gotten over it.
• It's a shame this practice ended long ago.
When my cat dies, I might shave my beard in respect.
14 – Ostrich eye is bigger than its brain, • It's an old stereotype that ostriches
are remarkably dumb, sure, they might not actually stick their head in the sand to avoid
danger, but they will run in pointless circles to evade predators
• This is because of the insane revelation that an ostrich's brain is smaller than
just one of its eyeballs.
It's an evolutionary quirk, likely because having bigger eyes was more important than
being able to think and strategize.
Unfortunately, that made them a bit of a dumb-dumb.
13- Average human sleep time is 7 minutes, • Unless you're a terrible insomniac like
me, on average it should only take you 10-20 minutes to fall asleep as soon as you jump
in bed • However, the actual average is that it
only takes 7 minutes for most people to fall asleep.
Any more or less than that and it shows you're sleeping too much or you're a broken human
being.
• I'm writing this script trembling with jealousy by the way.
7 minutes.
Hate you guys.
12 – Possums don't "play possum", they pass out,
• It's a handy trick to pretend you're dead so that predators will leave you alone,
that's why we refer to "playing dead" as "playing possum" since these little
marsupials do just that.
Not… willingly though.
• It's not as clever as it sounds.
In reality, possums just see some scary shit, and go into immediate shock, passing out with
fear going completely limp.
This can last between 30 mins to 4 whole hours, even starting to develop rigor mortis in that
time.
• For us, it's called going to sleep.
Still salty, by the way.
11 – You can lead a cow upstairs, but not downstairs,
• You know those times you're dragging cows up some stairs and it's happy as can
be waddling up each step?
Did you know that a cow, when faced with climbing DOWN stairs, will simply not go down?
• If you have a close look at their ankle and knee joints, they're not built for that
type of travel, they need a solid level field or they might collapse spectacularly like
they're wearing high heels on a runway.
I really hope one of our artists draws this for the video.
• Now, while it IS possible to train a cow to go downstairs, they ain't gonna like
it.
Trust me…
I've tried it.
10 – 1 person in 2 billion will live to 116,
• Life expectancy has grown over the last few years, to say the least.
Not that long ago reaching 60 years of age was a huge feat, but now the average settles
around 80 depending on your region.
• For some lucky cunt though, one person in 2 billion will live to the ripe old age
of 116.
I know.
2 billion in one is a bit of a dice roll, but still doable.
Comment below, and the one I pin to the top will officially have won the life sweepstakes.
You have a Danger Dolan promise.
9 – Elephants can't jump, • Scare most small mammals, first thing
they'll do is jump or scamper away very quickly.
Elephants though?
Scientists can't actually explain why, unlike almost all other mammals, they simply cannot
jump • True, they have an enormous weight to
carry, and their leg muscles are weaker because of it, but then how do they get over small
impasses, rocks and the like?
Simple, they just walk.
They'll walk for miles around a tiny obstacle rather than take a little leap forward.
• Look, nobody wants to address the elephant in the room?
It's because they're fat, okay.
It's a terrible joke.
Shoot me in the face.
Please end me.
8 – Every 45 secs, a house catches on fire in the U.S,
• Each year, there are millions of homes that catch on fire in the U.S – many times
more than that if you count everywhere else in the world.
• But did you know, if you squished the number down it would equate to a house fire
happening every 45 seconds in the U.S alone?
• Thankfully house fires have gone way down in number since the 70s, back then it was
almost double, but with safety precautions over the years we've been reducing that
number nicely.
7 – Numbers on the opposite side of a dice always add to 7,
• If you check out most modern dice, you'll notice the 1 is opposite 6.
2 is opposite 5.
3 is opposite 4.
What do all these things have in common?
Each of these pairs adds up to exactly the same number.
• Each number on the opposite side of the dice will always add up to 7.
Why this?
It's up for debate.
Some believe it's to equal out the weight of the axis.
Others feel it's the only combination that leads to a unique number upon roll.
But it's likely because dice creators have OCD and it needs to be perfect.
I understand.
I'd do the same thing.
6 – Crocodiles cannot stick their tongue out,
• Did you know that the membrane attached to the inside of a crocodiles mouth means
they're completely incapable of sticking their tongue out?
• Unlike dogs who pant to sweat, crocs can sift air and water through their teeth and
use the salt gland on their tongue when preparing for attack on prey.
• Likewise, the tongue actually doesn't do anything to help them eat.
They just bite and swallow.
5 – Women blink twice as much as men, • This one might be hard to believe, but
apparently it's not manly to blink with your eyelids – women blink twice as much
as men.
• Scientifically this is backed up by women who take birth control pills - they blink
over 30 percent more than women who don't.
Not to mention the extra estrogen women produce, which stimulates lubricants like that found
in the eye • Now you know why batting eyelashes is
so sexy.
All that moisture.
4 – Mario was named after a landlord, • In the early 1980s, Nintendo was not doing
so good.
All they had on the horizon was Donkey Kong for the arcade where you play the character
Jumpman who would soon become Mario.
• But were you aware that Mario was named after Nintendo's landlord – Mario Segale?
The story goes that he swung by their office to yell at them about rent, when the team
decided to name their character Mario after him for whatever reason.
• It stuck.
Clearly.
3 – It takes 3000 dead cows to supply NFL for one year of footballs,
• How many cows would you expect to have to slaughter to make a year of footballs for
the NFL?
Fifty?
A hundred?
Try 3,000.
• Just for a single Super Bowl, you'd have to rip the flesh off 22 cows just to
have enough balls handy for the day.
It's made the sport come under a lot of fire, not surprising.
• You know how many cows you have to kill to play video games?
None.
Not unless you're having beef for dinner.
Ya monster.
2 – If you leave fish in a dark room, they'll turn white,
• So, you can't afford light bulbs – we've all been there.
Your goldfish haven't seen the sun their entire lives.
Curiously, they'll actually turn white from being in the dark for so long.
• If you take away light from a fish, it'll stop producing pigment.
They'll have no light to reflect and so therefore will no longer generate colour.
However, it may not turn COMPLETELY white, but it'll certainly turn a few shades lighter.
• Don't do that.
It's just cruel.
Fascinating, but cruel.
1 – Snails can sleep for 3 years, • Snails can live up to 15 years, which
is a fair amount of time for a little creature.
Amazingly, it can sleep for periods up to 3 years at a time if the weather ain't doing
so good.
• It's a form of hibernation where they slime up the entrance to their sheel, curl
up and catch some Z's for huge periods of time, especially during cold seasons.
• Again.
Salt.
Look at me, I'm a snail, it takes 5 minutes to sleep and I can do it for years.
I'd go out right now and crush a snail but that's cruel.
I can leave them in a dark room and watch them turn white though.
They deserve it.
