While humans
have long had a rare difference in becoming the only mammal that really enjoyed
spicy food, the list has seen new additions, as a study by Chinese researchers
found that tree shrews have mutations in their ion channel receptors, which
make this less sensitive against "hot" chemicals in chili. As a
result, adorable creatures happily devoured corn pellets mixed with capsaicin
(compounds that gave their spices peppers) while other mammals in this study
avoided it.

Most visitors
are too busy looking at their food to see all that carefully at what
preparations are prepare, but Toque - traditional hats worn by the chef -
actually contain 100 folds. It's not just a good round number: It is said that
this fold represents the number of ways to cook eggs, even though the
investigation by Bon Appetit failed to track where the saying came from.

It will be
Forrest Mars and Bruce Murrie, two entrepreneurs who create candy-coated
chocolate. Both of them actually have a very controversial relationship,
because Mars utilizes Murrie from 20 percent of its shares in the company in
1949-year before M&Ms would become the best-selling candy in the US, paying
for only $ 1 million for business shares will be quickly worth billions.

It might be
difficult to see with your naked eye, but everyone you pass every day literally
shines. The human body issues a small number of visible light
("looks" in the technical sense - illumination is around 1,000 times
more intense than the actual level of light we can see). Researchers in Japan
use a special camera to track this light and find that it fluctuates throughout
the day, with the body emits the lowest level of light around 10 am and the
highest at around 4 pm, the rhythm decorated by scientists in changes in a
person's metabolism.

Copper and
alloys, such as brass, have long been a popular material for making door knobs.
Apparently, this might not just because Hue metal makes it look good. In fact,
the material has been found to kill bacteria. According to a study from the
College National Kathmandu in Nepal, "Denature Protein metal ions from
target cells by binding to the reactive group result in their precipitation and
inactivation. High affinity cellular protein for metallic ions resulted in
death in cell deaths due to the cumulative effect of ion Cells. "In other
words, brass sterilizes bacteria that can accumulate from all hands
(potentially not washed) who grip them.

When we
breathe in and out of our nose during the day, one nostril does most of the
work at a time, with the task of switching every few hours. This "nostril
cycle" is determined by the same autonomous nervous system that regulates
the heartbeat, digestive, and body function that is not realized and is the
reason why - when our nose is raised - so one nostrils at once.

Regardless of
what you might see on the list of other random trivia, your nails and hair
don't, in fact, continue to grow after you die. To grow, this must have a
stable supply of glucose, which is disconnected after the heart stops beating,
prevent further growth. In fact, the skin around the hair follicles and
dehydrate nails after death and some interesting, which can make them look
longer.

It is not
known whether William Morrison has a hidden motive for creating a soft candied,
but the dentist is undoubtedly helping to ensure others in his profession
continue to draw on many customers. In 1897, he partnered with Candy maker John
C. Wharton to develop a cotton candy machine (which at that time was known as
"Fairy Floss"), and it had brought the children's cavity since then.
#9 | Rabbits can’t puke.

Unlike other
cats or animals that can cough hairballs when they digest too many fur and
other Kerlia ingredients, rabbits are not able to spit out. Their digestive
system only runs one direction, so hairy creatures swallow a lot of fiber,
which makes everything move in the right direction.
#10 | Marie Curie is the only person to earn a Nobel prize
in two different sciences.

Pioneer
researchers won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 (shared with her husband)
for her studies about spontaneous radiation, and then won the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry in 1911 for her work in radioactivity. It made her one of the six
recipients to receive several Nobel prizes, and the only people who accept it
in two different sciences. (Linus Paulding Chemical Engineer gets a Nobel
Chemical Prize and Nobel Peace Prize, but all other winners accept them in the
same category).
