Under black lights, bananas glow blue. Ripe bananas appear yellow to the naked eye under normal conditions due to organic pigments known as carotenoids.

Contrary to popular belief, termites are actually fairly hygienic creatures. Despite living almost entirely in mud, they all work together to practise good hygiene. Like cats, termites groom one another in an effort to get rid of parasites and other harmful bacteria. Although it may seem pointless, maintaining proper grooming is essential to the colony's survival because staying clean prevents the spread of deadly diseases.

Spiders come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with their own distinct appearance and characteristics. There are currently over 35,000 different species of spider known. Some scientists, however, believe that there is much more to be discovered.

Insulin resistance can be tested invasively (with catheters and infusions) or more realistically using fasting glucose and insulin levels.

Long before renowned Muppeteer Frank Oz used animatronics and puppetry to create Yoda, the goal was to recruit an actual actor... a simian actor, that is. They planned to put up a real monkey in a Yoda suit and mask, according to The Making of Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back. There are pictures of the monkey in training as well as a rather awful Yoda mask prototype. Fortunately, a crew member who had previously worked on 2001: A Space Odyssey pointed out that the monkeys used in that film's introduction were a major pain, which convinced Empire's creators to dismiss their Yoda monkey.

The world-famous energy drink Red Bull was made in Bangkok by Chaleo Yoovidhya in 1976. He had moved from central Thailand to Bangkok with very little formal education but managed to build a multimillion empire with the help of his Australian business partner Dietrich Mateschitz. At the time of his death in 2012, Yoovidhya was the third richest man in Thailand with an estimated wealth of USD 5 billion. 

However, the syrupy drink he made is quite different from the carbonated version enjoyed across the globe. At some shops in Bangkok, you can find both versions, and decide which one you prefer for yourself.

Several studios rejected A New Hope (Episode IV), which was released as Star Wars before 20th Century Fox consented to create it. Despite being intrigued by Lucas' ideas, United Artists rejected him.

In 2012, however, Disney paid $4 billion for the property.

On occasion, hypnosis is shown on television. It's usually part of a plot where the hypnotised person loses control and becomes a "puppet." In reality, people in a relaxed state of hypnosis are fully conscious. They should be able to hear, understand, and remember what the hypnotist says. There should be no worries about being hypnotised and made to cluck like a chicken or sent on a murder spree. They are simply experiencing deep relaxation as a result of their concentrated attention.

At a time when it was considered impolite to show a toilet being flushed on screen, Alfred Hitchcock saw an opportunity to add even more shock to his already shocking film by presenting a scrap of paper that proves to be an important clue, failing to flush in a toilet.

Do you start your day with coffee? Unfortunately, I have some bad news. Caffeine can inhibit the production of cortisol, which your body produces in the morning. It is said that two to three hours after waking up, between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. for most people, is the best time to drink coffee because your body's cortisol levels begin to drop and require a boost.
