Having sex can reduce a fever because of the sweat produced.
Sex is also a pain reliever, ten times more effective than Valium: immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by five times, determining a huge release of endorphins. These chemicals calm pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines, and with no secondary effects. Migraines also disappear because the pressure in the brain's blood vessels is lowered while we have sex. So now we see that actually, a woman's headache is rather a good reason for having sex, not against it.

The total weight of all the ants on Earth is about the same as the weight of all the humans on earth.
Ants also outnumber us a million to one! They also can lift weight twice their size! If they ever wanted to turn on us, they could just pick us all up and throw us in the ocean.
A Rubik's cube has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible configurations.
With 6 colored sides, 21 pieces and 54 outer surfaces, there's a combined total of over 43 quintillion different possible configurations. To put that into perspective: if you turned the Rubik's cube once every second it would take you 1400 trillion years to finish to go through all the configurations. If you had started this project during the Big Bang, you still wouldn't be done yet.
Laughter is extremely difficult to control consciously. Most people cannot laugh on command.
Laughter almost always occurs during pauses at the end of phrases. Laughter requires the coordination of many muscles throughout the body: a long bout of laughter is like a full body workout. It gives your diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles a workout. If you need to break a quick sweat, maybe trim a few pounds, you should try watching Caddyshack.
Having blue eyes is actually a mutation. Before the mutation occurred, all humans had brown eyes.
Biology nerds know that these mutations often occur in the womb. In this case, the OCA2 gene, which is also involved in the production of melanin, is disrupted to make the eyes blue rather than brown.
Colgate faced big obstacle marketing toothpaste in Spanish speaking countries because Colgate translates into the command 'go hang yourself.'
You can overdose and die from coffee.
There is such a thing as a lethal dose of caffeine. Medical literature contains reports of people dying from ingesting large amounts of caffeine, often through unconventional means, such as injecting caffeine straight into the bloodstream or having a coffee enema (literally putting coffee in your butt!).
It takes ten grams of caffeine in one sitting to kill a person, which would literally take between 80 and 100 cups of coffee, which is pretty hard to do.
Ever heard of a Cryovolcano? It's a volcano that shoots out ICE rather than lava.
Cryovolcanoes only exist in outer space. They can be found on icy moons.
