It is a known fact that the universe is teeming with weird things. In many cases, real life is crazy than invented stories. Here are some interesting facts to brighten your day.
First, natural honey lasts forever. Truth be told, archaeologists have unearthed pots of honey in Egyptian pyramids that are over 3,000 years old and perfectly good to consume. This is due to its unique chemical composition which makes it difficult for microbes to grow.
Moving on to animals, octopuses possess three hearts. Two hearts pump blood to the respiratory system, while the other one pumps it to the rest of the body. Even stranger, when an octopus swims, the heart that delivers blood to the body stops beating, which is why these creatures prefer to scuttle rather than float.
Here is another crazy tidbit: botanically speaking, pumpkins are berries, yet strawberries are not. Science is often confusing like that! Additionally, cucumbers are technically considered fruit, not vegetables.

This is just a small sample of the endless amazing facts in the world. Discovering trivia is a great way to pass time. Stay curious!
