Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour Fish don't have stomachs Pirates (who had both their eyes) wore an eye patch and would switch it when they went below deck so they would become immediately accustomed to the dark! The weight of insects eaten by spiders every year is greater than the total weight of the entire human population. More people are kicked to death by donkeys every year than are killed in plane crashes. Archaeologists have found batteries near Baghdad dating back to 200BC.

Multi-tasking doesn't exist, the brain prioritises tasks and we switch from one to the other, and then go back. Our brain doesn't have the capability to do multible things at once.
