Did you know the most expensive coffee in the world comes from Indonesia. It costs between 600-1000$ a lb. This special coffee is a product of the excrement of the civet. This little animal eats the coffee cherry and digests the soft outer part but can't digest the inner coffee bean, The bean is then collected and processed into Kopi Luwak-the worlds most expensive coffee.

 

This was the coffee made famous by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in the making of the movie "The Bucket List".

Centipedes can have from 30 to 354 legs. However, despite their name, there is no centipede with 100 legs because they always have an odd number of pairs of legs

- Don't feed the trolls. Simply report them. I will remove the trolls when we identify them

Did you know that Nikola Tesla predicted the internet back in 1900? Nikola wrote an article for Century Magazine describing a "World System" of wireless communications that could send telephone messages, news, music and pictures to any part of the world.

 

So he just didn't invent the radio!!!

That Tesla advocated using Alternating current (AC) for electric power while Edison advocated Direct Current (DC).

 

The so-called "War of the Currents" took place from the 1880s until almost 1900; Tesla won. However, the Tesla car will mostly involve DC....

Speaking of interesrimg ways to burn calories, exposure to cold temperatures has been shown to stimulate brown fat activity, which increases the number of calories you burn. And chewing gum apparently! But I have a new idea: if you combine large bubble gum with kissing. ;)

Did you know that

Spinach became a super food because of a misplaced decimal point

In 1870, a German chemist mistakenly recorded the amount of iron in spinach as 35 mg/100g instead of 3.5 mg. Then Popeye came along in the 30s, and sales skyrocketed. Despite repeated efforts by the scientific community to end the myth, people still believe spinach is absurdly high in iron.
