🇩🇪 When Fuggerei was established by a wealthy banker, Jakob Fugger the Rich, in 1520, he intended for it to become a housing complex open to the needy and poor living nearby in Augsburg, Germany. That tradition continues today, with the only other requirements for living in the complex being a demonstrated faith in the Catholic Church, and a proven residency in Augsburg for at least two years.

When you eat a pineapple, it eats you back. Pineapples are the only known carriers of Bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down proteins. Since your body is made of proteins, the pineapples you eat are also trying to digest you. That's why a fresh pineapple can turn your tongue into a sore piece of sandpaper.

🌎 Researchers have found that dogs use Earth’s magnetic fields to align their bowel and bladder movements - and they prefer to relieve themselves along a north-south axis.
Sciences in the Czech Republic and the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany found that dogs were more likely to poo along a north-south axis, determined by the Earth's geomagnetic field (magnetic north is slightly different to true north).
The team compared the positioning of the dogs during the acts to variations in the Earth’s magnetic field. They found that in calm magnetic field conditions, the dogs consistently preferred to be aligned north-south when they pooed. But perhaps the most striking result was that, regardless of magnetic field conditions, dogs blatantly avoided relieving themselves along the east-west alignment.

A surgical team led by Dr. Robert Montgomery at the New York University’s Longone Health facility successfully transplanted a pig kidney into a human recipient last month. This marks the first instance where a kidney has been transplanted from a different organism, scientifically known as xenotransplantation, and has not been rejected by the host’s immune system.
This successful demonstration offers a ray of hope to hundreds of thousands of Americans who are currently on waiting lists for organ transplants.

New research shows that some fish eggs remain alive even after being swallowed by mallards, a breed of ducks. These eggs then come out as the ducks' poop and hatch when they find water again. This explains how some fishes emerge in ponds and pools without a hint.

Apples are not ‘true to seed’, so the seeds from any particular variety apple will not grow to be the same variety as the apple tree they came from. E.g. If you planted seeds of Granny Smith it likely will produce a wide variety of different and unknown apple tree types.

Some wonders remain wonders for eternity..!
This Shiva Murti found 300 feet under sea has been immersed since 700 years near Koneswaram Temple of Trincomalee, Srilanka.
Wonder how that kumkum & vibhoothi on the forehead of the Murti is unerased after so many years!

When you eat pineapple and your tongue begins to hurt it is due to the fact that the pineapple is eating you back thanks to bromelain. So long as you're not actually super sensitive your tongue should be fine, and it regenerates cells quickly anyway.
