Owls don't have eyeballs—they're more like eye tubes. They're elongated and held in place by a bony structure in the skull called sclerotic rings. Because of this, owls can't move or roll their eyes within their sockets. (That's where the heightened neck mobility comes in.)

I'll give some facts about one of my favourite animals: The Sloth
Sloths are so slow that moss and algae grow on their fur! They only pee about once a week and will try to wait until it rains so they can hide the evidence from predators! Once they've gone to the bathroom, they can be up to 3 times lighter!

It gets even weirder for berries:
Strawberries are not berries, bananas are. Blackberries, mulberries, and raspberries are also not berries but avocados, cucumbers, and pumpkins are. There are more examples but those are just some.

Yup. Also peppers, chilis and watermelon.
Where it gets really funny though is caper berries being actually flower buds.
And it gets really nuts when you find out that peanuts are not nuts but beans and that cashew nuts are really just cashew apple seeds.
The botanical world is a true mindf***k

Around half of Thai Buddhist monks are obese. The reason is that they always eat food donations from the people who often give them unhealthy foods. So now the Thai government is urging people to start giving the monks more healthy food donations.

Heroin-laced aspirin was once given children suffering from sore throats, coughs, and cold because Bayer found it to be 5X more effective than morphine (and presumed it was less addictive than morphine). Some bottles depicted children eagerly reaching for the medicine, with moms giving their sick kids heroin on a spoon.

Now that's... not exactly goofy, more like scary. But it does entertain one's brain.

And to add a bit to that:
The "original" ketchup (in so many different spellings) had nothing to do with tomatos at all. Its main ingredient were mushrooms (I cooked a replica receip myself: Highly recommend it!). And we almost never had the modern ketchup to begin with, because after some up and downs, they used copper cauldrons to make it. Problem is, that the acid in tomatos solve copper ions into the dish, which could lead in long terms to copper poisoning.
This problem could also be seen in many monastery were they used many copper wear.

I found a variety here: https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/mushroom-ketchup-recipe
The recipe there at least has numeric values for the ingredients, while the book I had if from was only very vague (it was from the 18. century).
Hope you like it! Also I saw some other more watery types on youtube, which are more authentic. So please choose for yourself which version you like best and tell me which one you tried :)
