Wasn't he a chemistry student?

if you're a teacher, you're not supposed to sleep with your students, even if they're adults; that's bad, don't do it

Birds are sight-powerful and smell-weak. A mother bird will not reject her baby if you pick it up and put it back in the nest. Help that bird! People don't only use 10% of their brain unless they're people who believe we can only use 10% of their brain.

"Survival of the fittest" doesn't mean the fastest or the strongest or the smartest; it means the survival of the best fit for the role. Your opposable thumbs and big brain are worth gently caress-all at the bottom of the ocean because you are not adapted for crushing pressures and freezing temperatures, while the blobfish is happy to clean up imploded billionaire residue in that same environment. Incidentally, the melted Mr. Saturn-rear end looking blobfish you're familiar with? That's due to being brought up to the surface, you know, where they're not the best fit anymore, and since they're not being pushed on by thousands of tons of water from every direction they decompress and all their cells and organs explode. They're pretty normal-looking spiky gray fish at their proper depth.

the heat generated during atmospheric reentry (or flying at hypersonic speeds) is almost entirely due to air compression, not friction. there's a reason all the heat shielding on the shuttle is on the nose/belly.

the observer effect in quantum physics has absolutely nothing to do with human/conscious observation mystically causing waveform collapse or any of that woo-woo bullshit. "observation" means measurement, which necessarily means interaction in some form -- that's what pins down an eigenstate.

If 10% of our brain mass was all we used, shouldn’t our skulls be the size of walnuts? I think it was a case of a game of telephone: we use all of our brains, but we tend to not use more than 10 or 20 percent at a time, as different parts handle different things. This got telephoned into 'we only use 10 percent of our brain'. I was so annoyed when the film Lucy came out: this should be a pop culture misunderstanding, not the plot of a film where you could just GOOGLE THE REALITY OF IT. Argh. I have no idea if you'd get an exceptional advantage if you could somehow use more of your brain at a time or if you'd just damage it from overheating. Also, peanuts aren't nuts. They're technically beans. (Legumes, to be ultra technical). Also, strawberries are not actually classified in scientific botanical definition as berries. Neither are blueberries or raspberries. However, they ARE classified in CULINARY terms as berries. What is classified in botony terms as berries? Bananas, eggplants, and cucumbers.

Smarter than most dogs.

Black holes won't devour everything. They have absolutely the same influence as any object with the same mass. So for example, if our Sun was instantly replaced with the same mass black hole, we wouldn't notice anything, gravimetrically. Sure the sky would go dark and all life would end, but we wouldn't get sucked into that black hole.
