Cheerios were invented in the United States in 1941 by General Mills. The product's original name was Cheerioats, but General Mills changed it to Cheerios in 1945 following a trademark complaint from competitor Quaker Oats Company over the use of the term "oats"...

Based on popular, humorous estimates, the average human walks roughly 900 miles and consumes 22 gallons of beer annually, resulting in an efficiency of about 41 miles per gallon (MPG) of beer. This anecdotal figure is often compared to the fuel efficiency of a Toyota Prius.
 
I asked AI (purely for scientific purposes) if the entire population of China all jumped at the same time, would our planet shake?

The answer came back as - While perfectly simultaneous jumps are impossible, even if they were, the outcome remains the same: negligible impact. Has this kind of experiment ever been attempted on a smaller scale? No, there’s no record of a coordinated jump of this magnitude being attempted.

However, if the entire population of India was to jump a little higher into the upper atmosphere...... there would be nobody manning the Call Centres, and we would be rid of most of the scourge of scammers and telemarketers. :)
 
Diced Carrots phenomenon.... :eek:

I once again consulted AI out of morbid curiosity and got this answer.... asked why there is always diced carrots in vomit.

​

The phenomenon of vomit containing diced carrots is a common myth. In reality, the orange-colored flecks in vomit are often pieces of the stomach lining, not carrots. This is due to the violent nature of vomiting, which can cause bits of the stomach wall to come off. The presence of these orange-colored bits is more likely to occur than the actual presence of carrots, as carrots are harder to digest and take longer to pass through the digestive system.
