Turtles have cloacas so instead of going peepee or poopoo, they do both at the same time!

Shoes could be up to 2 feet long in medieval times. The toes of the shoes were usually filled with hair, wool, moss, or grass.
The sound of doors opening and closing on Star Trek is a flushing toilet.
If you sneeze while driving at 60 mph, your eyes are closed for around 50 feet.

They were called poulaines or Krakow Shoes and the ends were often tied to the calves of the wearer. One of my favourite ridiculous shoe fashions of history!

Goofy fact: the Wilhelm Scream is one of the most used sound effects in all of film history... but there is a “Goofy” version of this! The "Goofy Holler" appears in almost every Goofy film whenever he takes a large fall; it also appears in several other Disney films.

All whales that die naturally, whether to old age or the resulting effects of old age, all die due to drowning since they lack the energy to go to the surface of the water and breath air. They then float to the surface of the water as they fill up with the gases produced from the after-effects of death, eventually burst, and sink to the bottom where their corpses create entire ecosystems that some organisms base their whole existence around.

In the 1970s, a small town where I live in West Virginia suffered a bridge collapse. This bridge was the only legal road in/out of Vulcan, WV. The state and federal government both refused to assist Vulcan, so the Mayor wrote to the Soviet Union (Russia) for aid. The state only agreed to replace the bridge after Soviet journalists arrived to interview the Mayor and local residents.

Five Chinese assassins were arrested in 2013, after each assassin outsourced the "job" to another assassin. The first assassin took a chunk of the payment money, then hired another assassin with the rest of the money. The second assassin did the same, without the knowledge of the first. The third assassin did the same as well. Etc.
Until finally, the last assassin decided it wasn't worth it and instead collaborated with the victim to fake his assassination, after which he contacted the police, and the entire "chain of command", including the man who had hired the first assassin, got arrested for plotting to murder.

More amusing is the origin of this fact: back when the internet was an infant, some journalist who wanted to show how ready people were to believe anything that was on the internet posted a made up "scientific fact" on a BBS and monitored how fast and far the statement spread in the next few weeks.
30 years later, this is still stated as a fact without any evidence on most "incredible facts" lists on the internet. And scientists have nothing to do with it.
Guess he was right.

Well, this making some sense now. But back to the theme of spider eating: we actually have a chance to eat some bugs while consuming various processed vegetables and products. Most countries have safety regulations on how many bugs can be in the end-product, you can look it up.

Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. This is because honey has natural preservatives like low water content and high acidity, which create an environment that prevents the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. So, that jar of honey in your kitchen might just be able to withstand the test of time as well!

Honey bees are quite wonderful and so is honey. However honey can become unsafe for various reasons, and some bacteria can be present in it, especially Clostridium botulinum, which combined with the density of honey and the lack of oxygen in honey, can result in harmful toxins so while it's technically true in general that honey is bacteria resistant and may survive the test of time without fermenting, it's not necessarily true of that jar of honey in your kitchen.
Especially since commercial honey is often altered and handled in ways that introduce microorganisms in it that are not naturally present in raw honey found in Egyptian tombs for instance.
