Yesterday I've learned that
- a meal with meat products is produced with more water than a meal without meat products;
- "[a] series of failures may culminate in the best possible result" (Gisela Richter - Art Historian, Curator of Greek Art, Metropolitan Museum, 1929-1952);
- I weigh more than an aardvark but less than a komodo dragon;
- Life in India and life in a hive have at least one thing in common: castes [all honeybees fall into one of three castes: workers (female bees who build the honeycomb, gather the nectar from flowers, defend the hive and look after the queen and her eggs), drones (male bees whose job is to mate with a queen from another hive) and queens (bees who lay eggs that will hatch into more bees)];
- Stan, a 65 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex, is the second most complete T. rex skeleton found so far;
- Napoleon displayed the Mona Lisa in his bedroom and also in his bathroom, causing water damage to the varnish near the eye and chin;
- Those who worry about aging should consider themselves lucky because humans are one of a few animals that don't die soon after they stop reproducing.
