    Baby carrots are in fact baby carrots. They're harvested just a few days after germination.
    And they're tasty! Be careful though - baby-cut carrots are counterfeit baby carrots!

    First, for the geek in us...
    The line, "To boldly go where no man has gone before" was hijacked verbatim from a 1957 White House booklet on space exploration.

    Because they were never shown (or even implied) there has been a long standing joke that there are no bathrooms on the Star Ship Enterprise.

    The transporter effect was glitter stirred in water and filmed upside down.

    Other tidbits I find interesting...
    Your body has enough iron in it to make a nail 3 inches long.

    Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil.

    The French tickler was invented by a Tibetan monk.

    The oldest known written recipe is for beer.

    The Sanskrit word for "war" means "desire for more cows."

    The word gymnastics is derived from the Greek word "gumnazein", which means; To train naked.

    So, let's all take out clothes off and head to the gym!

    keeping this :)

    xrays bounce off fat and cause scatter radiation

    I'm like a weapon of mass destruction when I get an x-ray. No wonder the tech is hiding in that little room.

    I actually know all kinds of weird random information lol. I'm sort of known for it in my friend group.

    By the time you say 3,000 puppies, 3,000 puppies are born
    Pound for pound, hamburgers cost more than new cars
    Ants stretch when they wake up
    You'll drink an average of 16,000 gallons of liquid in your lifetime
    The least common birth date in the US is May 22
    The male praying mantis cannot copulate while it's head is attached. The female initiates sex by ripping it's head off

    My daughter was born on May 22...lol

    My sister was born on May 22! Of course, that doesn't disprove the fact, but it's a funny coincidence.

    Most birds eat one quarter to one half their body weight in food daily. ..... so eating like a bird is a bad idea, unless you workout like a bird.

    As altitude increases the boiling point of water decreases so the higher you are the longer it takes to cook a hard boiled egg.

    Pittsburgh, Pa is the world record holder for bridges with piers and stands contained entirely within city limits, beating out Venice, Italy, the previous record holder by 3 bridges. There are many more bridges in Pittsburgh that are not counted toward the world record as they lack piers.

    No, no they aren't. They are big carrots that broke and have been essentially sanded to look different.
