Wow! I didn't know

1. Most of us choose dogs over love dogs have long been acknowledged to be man's best friend but Americans are rapidly taking that to a new level according to a rover.com study conducted over 3 years published in 2017 54% of dong owners will end a relationship if their dog doesn't like their partner according to the report 94% of dog owners see and treat their dogs as a member of their family and 78% include their canines during significant family moments given that 1/4 of people bring their furry companions on first dates it might be a good idea to get dog treats instead of flowers the next time you go on a first date

2. The moon has moonquakes and we were causing some of them when we went to the moon we didn't just leave a flag and Footprints behind we left a couple of hundred bags of poop in urine too but I'm not here to talk about that today the Apollo Astronauts left seismometers meant to record thermal data on the moon's surface the equipment soon confirmed that the moon just like the Earth experiences earthquakes experiences moonquakes, scientists confirm that there are four types of moonquakes shallow deep thermal and those caused by meteorite impacts but more recently researchers made an exciting Discovery some of the thermal earthquake data gathered by Apollo

3. Mission instrumentation confirmed that the moon also experienced a fif th an unexpected type of moon Quake Quakes coming from the Apollo 17 lunar lander base itself this new phenomenon is not caused by the moon but it adds to our seismic knowledge of the celestial body which is crucial for future lunar exploration 17 the Pledge of Allegiance started as a PR stunt I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation how many times as a child did you stand and say those words while it may feel that the Pledge of Allegiance has been around forever it was only written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy as part of a competition to increase the sales of the weekly children's magazine youth's companion while today's pledge is very close to Bellamy's original version it has gone through a few significant changes throughout the years notably the phrase under God wasn't introduced until 1954

4. You lose 30% of your ability AB ility to taste while flying which could be why airplane food has such a terrible reputation what's the deal with airline food that the elevation of an aircraft can have a negative impact on how well we're able to taste things in a 2010 research project carried out by Germany's fraunhofer Institute of building physics the lack of moisture at high elevations as well as low pressure decreases a person's taste bud sensitivity to sweet and salty foods by roughly 30% add to that the fact that dry cabin air impairs our ability to smell and our ability to taste is reduced even further

5. A sneeze at 60 M hour closes your eyes for almost 50 ft you may or may not have heard this before but it actually kind of keeps me up at night when you sneeze your eyes close for a brief instant however if you sneeze while driving at 60 miles an hour your eyes will be closed for approximately 50 ft according to one 2014 study drivers who temporarily lose vision due to sneezing cause 2,500 accidents in England every week yeah now what are those stats in us where we have more land mass and significantly more cars on the roads I shudder at the thought according to one earlier study more than 2 million drivers have crashed while driving simply because they sneezed this suggests that 7% of adults have been involved in a car accident due to sneezing

6. You've been eating bug poop and enjoying it and I'm sorry to have to do this to you but it's time you knew the truth shellac is an ingredient in candy at all things sweet that most people like to refer to as confectioner glaze that's because it gives all candies and sweets like jelly beans and candy corn it's beautiful hard and shiny coating but whatever you prefer to call it shellac which we've also used as a wood finish and brush on colorance is extracted from the secretions left by the female Korea lace insects Yes dear friends bug poop I bet those jelly beans have just lost a lot of their flavor huh
