I did know that! (7/10) - Did you know that one of the greatest pirates in the 1700s was a Chinese woman named Ching Shih, who retired rich and died peacefully? |

I didn't know that! (8.5/10) -- Did you know that a giraffe only has seven vertebrae in their necks, just like humans? This gives them limited mobility and they have to do a kind of split with their front legs to bend their heads down. |

7/10 I've never really thought about that before. I just think of a rabbit as a cute animal that is sometimes a pet. -- Did you know that tamales used to be "worshipped" by the Aztecs? The Aztecs didn't tolerate any disrespect towards their tamales. |

10/10 What? - The British pound was not divided into 100 cents like our dollar, but its smallest part was called a penny, and that's why we call our cent a "penny" today. But for more than one, the British called them "pence" while ours are called "pennies." Source: http://www.usmint.gov/kids/coinNews/circulating/01centCoin.cfm - In case of mods |

8/10 Interesting, didn't know that - Do y'all know that the reason meat cooks and changes colors is because of protein changes? Let me explain, when you slap a raw piece of meat on a hot skillet, you immediately start exciting the molecules and such, which as many people who've taken chemistry know, starts to cause chemical reactions to take place. Now, keep that in mind because those molecules are making up proteins! And now because of those chemical reactions, the proteins start to break down. Now, let's put a pause on the science there and look at the world around us for a moment, many people believe that whenever red stuff is leaking out of your steak/meat/whatever, that it's blood. But that is not the case. The slaughterhouse actually drains all the blood from the carcass. That red stuff, is actually the broken down proteins! Okay, now back to the main science, the breaking down of the proteins is what causes all of the physical and chemical changes within the meat. That's the reason why meat goes from red to brown, I mean think about it. If you cut into an underdone piece of meat, that red stuff is gonna leak out, which is the same stuff that makes the meat red. Makes sense right? - (All of the credit for my knowledge of this goes to my chemistry teacher last year lol) |
