A sea urchin's sophisticated, one-of-a-kind mouth, which is found on the underside of its body, includes five razor-sharp teeth that can pierce through rock. Watch out on the beach and at your favorite sushi joint since these chompers have the potential to be poisonous.

Adultery is legal in South Korea, as it is in China and Japan, and has been since 2015, as the country believes it is more of a personal matter than a state matter.

The Netherlands has one of the highest home birth rates in the developed world. Around 30% of Dutch women deliver their babies at home, and this figure has changed little since 1990. So why are home births still cherished in the Netherlands? It’s partly because Dutch health insurance fully covers home births, but doesn’t always cover hospital births without medical necessity. The Dutch medical system also has a good screening system and provides midwives (verloskundige) who help mothers have a safe delivery at home.

Pirates preferred grog, a concoction of rum, water, lemon juice, and sugar. (Hmmm, I wonder where the inspiration for our rum punch came from?)

UNESCO designated kimchi and its traditional practices as intangible cultural heritage of Korea in 2015. Every year, just before winter, families, and communities meet to make kimchi from copious harvests. Kimjang is the name given to this grand event. This is a chance for the community to come together. Participants use this opportunity to discuss, exchange, and establish relationships in addition to joining forces to prepare for winter. Even though many families have switched to commercial kimchis, kimjang festivities remain significant in some locations.

Australia and New Zealand have a long history of competition, but one Australian guy came very close to winning in 2006. In May 2006, he launched a bid on the New Zealand e-commerce platform. Bids began at $0.01. Bidding prices reached $3,000 when eBay administrators took it down, stating that "obviously, New Zealand is not for sale." Nonetheless, New Zealand was irritated by the hoax. At the time, the country's foreign minister referred to it as "nonsensical foolishness."

The fishing business clearly suffers the most economic consequences. Before the sea lampreys entered the Great Lakes, fishermen in the United States and Canada could catch roughly 15 million pounds of trout per year, a figure that had dropped to a meager 300,000 pounds by the 1960s - less than 2% of their initial catch! Recent actions implemented by the two nations in partnership with affected tribes have brought sea lampreys under control, lowering the invasive population by 90%.

In Germany, the desire to pursue freedom in every way possible is regarded as a primal human instinct. Therefore, if a prisoner makes an attempt to escape, they won't face further penalty for the action itself. However, the prisoner will face charges for any crimes they commit while trying to flee, including any property damage, personal injury, murder, or other offences.

Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at the Institute of Neurology in London showed that people who see a better future are more likely to be able to make that future a reality. Of course, this is exactly what the Law of Attraction says. It claims that vivid mental representations of a better life serve to attract that life to us on a daily basis. The neurologists said in their paper that "the ability to construct a hypothetical scenario in one's imagination prior to it really occurring may give more accuracy in anticipating its final consequence."

Austen had an affair with her neighbor Tom Lefroy when she was 20 years old, beginning in December 1895. Lefroy was a recent college graduate on his way to London to study law. Due to a lack of funds, Lefroy and Austen did not pursue their mutual attraction. In January 1896, Lefroy was sent away by family members who were unhappy with the match, and Austen never saw him again. Austen received her only known marriage proposal in December 1802 from Harris Bigg-Wither, the son of long-time family friends. Austen initially accepted, but the next morning she rescinded her acceptance. It's unclear why she changed her mind.

Tomatoes were thought to have medicinal properties in the early 1800s. According to Fast Company, in the 1830s, an Ohio doctor claimed that tomatoes could treat diarrhoea and indigestion, publishing recipes for a type of tomato ketchup that he later turned into a concentrated pill.

Pompeii received the designation of World Heritage Site in 1997. It is a very significant location because it offers such a comprehensive illustration of Roman life, architecture, community, and history. The Pompeii excavations have yielded a wealth of knowledge in the fields of history, science, and sociology. If you are in Italy, you must visit it, and a Pompeii tour from Rome is the ideal way to do that.

San Marino has never been invaded and has always maintained its independence. Cesare Borgia attempted unsuccessfully to seize it in the 1500s and 1700s, and it even resisted joining the Papal State. Fortunately, when the Napoleonic army came in the 18th century, San Marino was a political entity with a republican government. They retained its autonomy while also making economic concessions to it. The three distinctive towers of the old town, which are also featured on the flag, represent the tenacity of the Republic.

Your liver uses cholesterol to make bile acids, and bile is the only way your body can get rid of excess cholesterol.

Your body also uses cholesterol to make sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone. If you have liver disease, you’ll have trouble absorbing fats as well as hormonal problems.

But fats are chemically different from cholesterol; the body burns fats for energy. That’s why food labels list fat and cholesterol separately.

Sometimes there’s simply no avoiding the need to take meds. But some — antibiotics especially — negatively impact the gut microbiome. So, speak to your doctor if you’re concerned about starting a new prescription

Clip-ins, believe it or not, are not a new idea; in fact, wigs and hair extensions date back to 3400 BC in ancient Egypt. Back then, wigs were sewn-on hair pieces composed of human hair and sheep wool. Beeswax and resin were used to glue and attach extensions, while the Egyptians used to lead and henna to colour their hair and sheep wool. Wigs and extensions were not quite as good quality or realistic as they are now, but the Egyptians had some incredibly elaborate braided and layered extensions.

The iguana has a third eye called the parietal eye. This pale-colored eye is positioned on the top of the head. It cannot distinguish between forms or colours, but it can detect light and movement. This allows the iguana to detect predatory birds from above.

But don't worry, Earth is not in danger! Astronomers think our Milky Way has a massive black hole that is light-years away from Earth.
