Though we usually just pull them up and toss them into the trash, some weeds have nutritious properties.
For example, dandelions are loaded with vitamins A, C, and K—not to mention calcium, iron, and potassium. So consider pulling up these weeds and making them into a salad.

Bernie Ecclestone is going to be a father for the fourth time at 89 years young.
Guinness World Records say that the oldest father was 92 although Wikipedia says it was a James E. Smith whose 38 year old wife gave birth in 1951 when he was....101.
So plenty of time for more Ecclestone's.

A baby octopus is about the size of a flea when it is born.
You would think this would make them hard to spot, however since eggs are laid by the tens of thousands, it would be hard to miss a massive cluster of pea-sized octopuses!

Birds don’t urinate.
Contrary to what most mammals do, birds convert nitrogen to uric acid.
They get rid of this uric acid through the same place as they get rid all their other waste – their anus.
