Living under the same roof with someone often means tolerating some of their idiosyncrasies. For instance, your significant other may have a habit of leaving kitchen cupboard doors open, or your grandmother might occasionally forget about dishes on the stove.

Despite their cold-blooded nature, crocodiles and alligators are some of the most caring and gentle parents in the animal world. Females of these frightening animals lay from 10 to 60 eggs at a time and then bury their eggs in riverside nests. They build the nests out of plants they break off with their teeth and push together using back legs. Then croc moms patiently wait for up to three months, protecting their future babies from any danger.

The year is 8,000 BCE in Mesopotamia. It’s in Western Asia, between two rivers — the Tigris and Euphrates. In fact, that’s what “Mesopotamia” actually means — “between two rivers.” Agriculture is on the rise, and people already own small farms — a couple of goats and sheep they get milk from.

Traveling is an excellent means of immersing ourselves in another country’s customs and traditions. It enables us to gain valuable knowledge about how other cultures function, what they prioritize, and what makes them unique.

Did you know that you can actually inflate a balloon without using your lungs? All you need is a plastic bottle, vinegar, baking soda, a funnel, a rubber, and a balloon, of course. First, pull some baking soda into the balloon using your funnel. And now pour the vinegar into the bottle. You don’t need a lot — just fill about a third of the bottle. Let’s go ahead and put the balloon over the bottle. But don’t tip the soda inside the vinegar yet. Secure the balloon with a rubber band and tip it over to make the soda fall into the vinegar. And now you can step back and enjoy the show. When the baking soda and the vinegar are mixed together they release CO2 that will inflate the balloon.

It’s just a regular day. As usual, you’re taking a shower before starting to get ready for work. Everything is going as planned — until it isn’t. One clumsy move, some water spilled on the floor — and you’re flapping your arms in the air, your body nearing the floor with frightening speed. Everything goes black. The first thing you hear is a high-pitched whining in your head. Ouch, your head! Ugh. You carefully get up. There’s no blood — and that’s good. An even better thing is that the annoying noise stops abruptly. Holding your head, you leave the bathroom — and almost stumble over your cat Milo.

Seems a little weird, but very few people can actually digest milk. The thing is, there’s some special enzyme (let’s call it a little helper) that breaks down the sugars any milk has. When people grow up, they run out of this enzyme. And only a little over 30% of all people retain some of it.

A hard-boiled egg will always have a strange little dent on the bottom when it’s peeled. This is caused by a natural air pocket that resides between the white and the shell. When heated, the air expands and escapes through the shell’s pores but not before the egg sets. So the larger end of the egg ends up being flat! If you poke a small hole in the big end of the egg, it lets the air inside escape, giving your egg a much smoother and rounder shape. It may also help with removing the shell after as well!

Sometimes, when you type big text on your phone, it’s pretty hard to get the cursor where it needs to be. You can control this little thing using your space bar. Simply hard press the space bar, and now you can move the cursor wherever it needs to go. Voilà!
