With the fall of the Roman Empire, the secret of making Greek Fire was lost. Throwing water on it would simply feed the flames, making this weapon one-of-a-kind and lethal.

This equates to 533.76 lipsticks. Of course, for some women, this number is far too high (or far too low), which is why it is only an average — it varies by country and culture.

Centipedes are skilled hunters due to their incredible speed and venomous forcipules. Smaller species primarily consume mollusks, worms, insects, and spiders. Larger species frequently eat small birds, bats, and frogs as food. Even other centipedes will be eaten by some centipedes! Their meals are somewhat dependent on what is available to them. Some centipedes will scavenge for food in a pinch, but most of the time, they will hunt for it. Centipedes hunt for prey with the help of their antennae and catch it with their speed. Then, after encircling their prey, they wait for their venom to take effect before consuming their meal. Really brutal, no? However, it does the job.
