The cashew is part of a fruit that grows in tropical regions called 'a cashew apple'. After harvesting, the cashew apple keeps for only 24 hours before the soft fruit deteriorates. The cashew apple is not commercially important since it spoils quickly, but local people love the fruit. To harvest the nut, the ripe apple is allowed to fall to the ground where natives easily gather it. The apple and nut are separated.

Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which females produce eggs that develop without fertilization. Parthenogenesis is seen in aphids, daphnia, rotifers, and some other invertebrates, as well as in some plants. Komodo dragons and sharks have recently been added to the list of vertebrates—along with several genera of fish, amphibians, and reptiles—that exhibit differing forms of asexual reproduction, including true parthenogenesis, gynogenesis, and hybridogenesis (an incomplete form of parthenogenesis).

The word POSH originated with rich people traveling by ship. They had enough money to have a room with a beautiful view on the trip out and home. So, when they wanted to have this arrangement, it was called so for Port Out Starboard Home.

Bet you didn't know that if you burn wood in a campfire it contributes absolutely nothing to global warming.
Burning wood in a fire or letting wood rot in a forest produces the same net effect of CO2 (carbon dioxide).

The blood carried by veins is dark red due to its high percentage of CO2 as it returns to the heart (in contrast to the high levels of O2 in arterial blood, which is bright red). Veins appear blue because the subcutaneous fat in the skin absorbs lower-frequency light, permitting only the highly energetic blue wavelengths to penetrate through to the dark vein and reflect off. This physical effect can also be seen in the iris of blue eyes (pigmentless iris in the front, dark retina in the back) and is called Rayleigh scattering.

I'm gauging my ears right now. They're at about a 12 gauge. That means that I'm stretching out my ear piercings, and that they are stretching to about 2 or 3 millimeters right now.
