To paraphrase [The Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinopidae): Deinopide, AKA net-casting spiders or (my favorite) Goblin Spoods have *incredible* night vision. It’s so good that its EYEBALLS MELT by the suns rays at dawn!
“Its eyes are able to gather available light more efficiently than the eyes of cats and owls, and are able to do this despite the lack of a reflective layer ([tapetum lucidum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_lucidum)); instead, each night, a large area of light-sensitive membrane is manufactured within the eyes, and since arachnid eyes do not have irises, it is rapidly destroyed again at dawn.”
All humans start out as female in the womb. Once the Y chromosome kicks in (if there is one present), the uterus becomes a prostate, the ovaries become testicles, and the clitoris becomes a penis. Thatโs why men have nipples.

Through her nipples a breast-feeding motherโs body gauges the microbes in her babyโs saliva, to adjust the antibody content of her milk. If she’s breastfeeding two babies simultaneously, and one baby is significantly younger than the other, the milk coming from one breast will be totally different than the other one. From Bill Bryson’s book ‘The Body’.

A primary reason why smoking causes cancer is that tobacco contains radiation emitters. It’s been decades since I was a radiation worker, but IIRC, tobacco generates alpha particles, i.e. helium atoms.
While alpha particles are stopped by skin and aren’t a concern outside the body, there is nothing to stop them in the lungs. They can blast through lung tissue, killing cells and mutating cellular tissue. (Radiation can do four things to cells: nothing, kill the cell, mutate the cell and it eventually dies, or mutate the cell but it lives, eventually become cancer.)
So, while there are dozens of other components in tobacco smoke that aren’t healthy, the radiation can/will cause cancer if given enough time.
Idk why but I know a lot of facts about Koala bears.
Koala bears have very similar fingerprints to humans. In fact if a koala bears fingerprints were to get in a crime scene it would contaminate it. Also 20% – 90% of them have chlymadia. Lastly, they only eat eucalyptus leaves, and if you take the leaves off the branch and put it in a bowl, they won’t recognise it as food and won’t eat it.
