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.

In any circus, the diameter of the arena is 13 meters
Circus in its modern form appeared in the 18th century, and its "father" is considered to be the Englishman Philip Astley. It was he who experimentally determined that it was most convenient for horses to gallop in a circle with a diameter of 13 meters. This diameter of the arena is observed in all circuses of the world today.
