John Wayne Gacy’s last meal was a dozen deep-fried shrimp, a bucket of original recipe chicken from KFC, French fries, a pound of strawberries, and a bottle of Diet Coke.
When Steve Whitmire was given the Kermit puppet for the first time, he said it still “smelled like Jim.” He put the puppet on to perform in front of the mirror and made Kermit turn around towards him, as a way to encourage himself. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to do Kermit justice. This scared Whitmire so much that he put Kermit away and couldn’t look at him for a whole month.
What goes in must come out in some form, and with parrotfish, what comes out is sand.
Parrotfish chew on coral all day, eating not only the hard calcium carbonate skeleton but the soft-bodied organisms (called polyps) that cover the skeleton and the algae (called zooxanthellae) that live inside them. When parrotfish poop out the coral they eat, the soft tissues are absorbed and what remains comes out as sand-a lot of sand. In a year, one large parrotfish can produce 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of sand, the weight of a baby grand piano.

How do they get through all that sandy grit? It’s as though their teeth are made of steel.
No biomineral in the world is stiffer than the tips of parrotfish teeth. Parrotfish teeth are made of a material called fluorapatite which contains calcium, fluorine, phosphorous and oxygen, and is the second-hardest biomineral in the world. Fluorapatite scores a five on the Mohs’ hardness scale, making their teeth harder than copper, silver and gold. The teeth can also withstand a lot of pressure. One square inch of parrotfish teeth can tolerate 530 tons of pressure-equivalent to the weight of about 88 elephants.

The baby in Charlie Chaplin’s film ‘The Kid’ - released 100 years ago - is still alive. The actor turned 102 this month and is 1 of only 4 actors from the silent film era who are still living.
This is a particular species of tree which reveals many different colors when shedding bark. It is known as the Rainbow Eucalyptus and it is native to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.
When bark first peels off the tree it reveals a bright green color underneath, however this green layer changes color as time progresses - turning hues of orange, blue, purple, brown, yellow and maroon. As parts of the tree are shedding at different rates, the exposed layers can be of different ages and therefore different colors. This is what makes the tree look like it’s been streaked with rainbow paint!
Did you know that Duraludon only weighs about 88 pounds in total? Its body resembled polished metal, and it’s both lightweight and strong, so this Pokémon has considerable agility. The only drawback is that it rusts easily!
I think I should clarify: Duraludon weigh 88 pounds if they have the Heavy Metal Ability. If they have Stalwart, they weigh about 44 pounds, and if they have Light Metal, they only weigh 22 pounds!
