1. There is a planet called Gliese 436 b that is covered in
burning ice.
The planet’s surface is constantly suffering temperatures around
700°K or 400°C but the ice won’t melt because the planet’s
gravitational pull is forcing the water to stay solid.
2. The horror frog is a real frog that earned its name because
it breaks its own bones to create claws.
3. Michael Jackson wanted to make a Harry Potter musical.
4. There is a natural cavern in Turkmenistan that has been
burning for 40 years.
When geologists stumbled upon it, it was filled with natural,
poisonous gas so they decided to ignite it and let it burn out.
Which didn’t really work out
5. Dung Beetles actually use the Milky Way to navigate at night.
6. There is a geological phenomenon known as sailing stones,
where solitary rocks have created long tracks in the ocean floor
without any verified explanation.
7. The sandbox tree is a tree that is not only covered in
poisonous spikes, but also has fruit that can explode and propel
seeds at a 160mph.
8. There is a place in Antarctica that has no ice or snow and
hasn’t seen rain in at least two million years.
9. Not only is the American President’s limousine sealed against
biochemical attacks, but it carries around the President’s
personal blood bank in the trunk.
10. There is a place in Honduras named Yoro where once a year it
actually rains fish.
