A list of unsettling facts that keep me awake at night:
1. We don't know where eels come from and our best guess is somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.
2. The reason Egyptian mummies are kind of rare nowadays is that the Victorians ate most of them.
3. If you are allergic to eating shrimp, you are also allergic to eating cicadas. If you are allergic to eating chocolate, you are also allergic to eating cockroaches.
4. In a blind sniff test, people cannot differentiate (better than chance) between the smell of Parmesan cheese and the smell of human vomit.
5. The #1 purchaser of glitter worldwide is the US Military. The current best theory about why, is that they cover grounded planes in it to prevent radar detection.
6. Chlorine has no smell. If you're in a pool and you smell chlorine, what you're smelling is the chemical reaction that occurs when chlorine and urine mix.
7. Figs aren't vegan, because wasps routinely crawl inside them and die.
8. Human babies are born without kneecaps and don't even begin to develop them until about 6 months old.
