While it's true these aren’t the smartest members of the animal kingdom, the 3 second memory myth is just a plain exaggeration. Research has shown that they can maintain memories for up to three months. It's not a lot, but it's better than three seconds.

This is a common myth associated with many tall buildings around the world. The truth is that while a small object will hurt quite a bit if it hits someone on the ground, it would take something with a lot more mass to do real damage.

This is a matter of technicality since Everest is the highest mountain on the planet, but not the tallest. Measured from sea level to summit, Mount Everest is indeed the highest in the world. But if you look at the size of the mountain itself measured from bottom to top, the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii is twice as tall.

There’s a simplified equation for telling a dogs age: 10½ Human years for the first 2 dog years of a dogs life, then 4 human years for every subsequent dog year. However, dogs don’t only age differently than humans, they also age differently than each other. A dogs size and breed are important factors when it comes to how old your dog really is.
For example: A 1 year-old small dog is the equivalent of 15 human years. By the time it turns 11, 56 human years, it is considered geriatric. A 1-year-old large dog is 12 human years, and by the time it turns 11 it reaches about 82 human years. Large dogs mature much more slowly than small dogs but are considered geriatric by the time they’re 8, equivalent to a human age of 61.

People believed the earth was spherical even before Columbus embarked on his journeys. In fact, the idea of a round planet dates back to the time of the ancient Greeks.

Your morning cup of energy is actually made from the seeds of a coffee tree, but named for their resemblance to beans. The seeds are found inside of the red or purple coffee fruit, referred to as a cherry.
