Lake Berryessa.Napa. California
The famous Monticello Dam on Lake Berryessa, is best known for its unique hydro-sluice. This type of weir is a giant concrete pipe into which water flows when the lake rises. The Monticello Dam weir is also known as the "Glory Hole.
The opening of this hole is located about 60 meters from the dam itself. Water begins to flow into the pipe when the volume of the lake reaches about 2 million cubic meters of water. The depth of the funnel is 21 meters. In one second, the drain passes through more than 1,370 cubic meters of water.

No cat will ever know the joy of a sweet cupcake or candy.
Scientists believe that a mutation in a key taste receptor prevents cats from distinguishing between sugar and taste. Unfortunate! But you can give them other goodies that they'll appreciate.

The Ayam Cemani black hens are bred in Indonesia and the Philippines, but are not supplied to other countries because of the danger of the spread of avian influenza.
This breed is so rare that one chicken there costs about $200. These chickens have black skin and meat, but they do not differ in taste from their common relatives.

The pineapple eats you while you eat it
And it's all thanks to a substance in pineapple that gets back at you for eating it. Scientists have developed a curious enzyme with interesting properties. And it is contained mostly in pineapple, but also in kiwi and other fruits. This enzyme is called bromelain. This enzyme breaks down the protein in our lips, which makes our lips burn when we eat pineapple.

Why are almonds not nuts?
Many people think that the fruit of almonds is a nut, in fact, it is not. Almonds are a plant of the plum family. This means that an almond "nut" is the kernel of a stone fruit, almost the same as a plum or apricot. Only in almonds, all the flavor has "gone" from the pulp to the kernel of the stone.

Baked Watermelon
If you bake or fry the flesh of the watermelon, it will lose its grainy structure, turning it into a "watermelon steak" - quite a passable substitute for meat

Densuke black watermelon, $6,100
In 2008, one of these rare watermelons sold at auction in Japan for $6,100. It doesn't seem crazy, but precious black watermelons are still worth less than royal melons (about them below).

Why does a person not remember the moment of falling asleep?
Because of the brain's short-term memory before going to sleep. Therefore, the moment is not recorded by the brain. A person does not remember what happens five minutes before he/she falls asleep. In the process of sleep, our long-term memory is turned off.
For example, if you wake up a sleeping person and ask him something, and then he falls asleep in less than 5 minutes, he will remember nothing of the conversation when he wakes up.
