The Princess and the Frog gradually introduced the first black Disney princess, but the film had some unintended consequences.

The hair that once attracted compliments as the source of her beauty became venomous snakes. Medusa was now a Gorgon.

People with high testosterone recalled information better when it was associated with an angry face rather than a neutral or no face, indicating they considered the furious look gratifying, according to a University of Michigan research.

People with type 1 diabetes have immune systems that attack the insulin-producing cells in their pancreas for reasons that remain a scientific mystery. As a result, the cells are unable to produce insulin, which is necessary for other cells to access the bloodstream's glucose for energy. The bloodstream then becomes unhealthyly high in sugar. Conversely, those who have type 2 diabetes can still produce some insulin, but not enough. As a result of their cells developing insulin resistance (often as a result of obesity), glucose builds up in the bloodstream.

When Einstein was a patent clerk, he started the "Olympia Academy" book club with two pals. The trio's favourite foods were sausages, Gruyere cheese, fruit, and tea. On Einstein's birthday, though, his pals surprised him with pricey caviar. Einstein, who had a habit of compulsively eating when discussing something he was enthusiastic about, started filling his face while explaining Galileo's theory of inertia, completely unconscious of what he was eating. He subsequently said, "Well, you know, if you provide sophisticated dishes to peasants like me, you know they won't like it."

Roses are classified as "herbs," and as such, they are considered useful plants. Their petals are edible, and rose water (made by soaking the petals in water) is frequently used to flavor jellies and jams, as well as in Indian and Chinese dishes. Keep in mind that if you're going to eat roses, they should be chemical-free. Use roses that have not been sprayed with pesticides or other chemicals, and avoid using cut roses from a flower shop or supermarket because they have been grown with a variety of chemicals. It is possible to grow your own roses.
