You can Hypnotize Chickens - A chicken can be
hypnotized, or put into a trance by holding its head down against the
ground, and continuously drawing a line along the ground with a stick or
a finger, starting at its beak and extending straight outward in front
of the chicken. If the chicken is hypnotized in this manner, it will
remain immobile for somewhere between 15 seconds to 30 minutes,
continuing to stare at the line.
Your hand can have a life of it’s own
-
Alien hand syndrome (or Dr. Strangelove syndrome) is an unusual
neurological disorder in which one of the sufferer’s hands seems to take
on a life of its own. AHS is best documented in cases where a person
has had the two hemispheres of their brain surgically separated, a
procedure sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of extreme cases of
epilepsy. It also occurs in some cases after other brain surgery,
strokes, or infections.

Don’t laugh too much, it can kill you
–
Fatal hilarity is death as a result of laughter. In the third century
B.C. the Greek philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after seeing a
donkey eating figs (hey, it wasn’t THAT funny). On 24 March 1975 Alex
Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King’s Lynn, England, literally
died laughing while watching an episode of The Goodies. According to his
wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable to stop laughing whilst
watching a sketch in the episode “Kung Fu Kapers” in which Tim
Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to
defend himself from a psychopathic black pudding in a demonstration of
the Scottish martial art of “Hoots-Toot-ochaye”. After twenty-five
minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and
expired from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter
thanking them for making Mitchell’s final moments so pleasant.

It’s true, Men can breastfeed
–
The phenomenon of male lactation in humans has become more common in
recent years due to the use of medications that stimulate a human male’s
mammary glands. Male lactation is most commonly caused by hormonal
treatments given to men suffering from prostate cancer. It is also
possible for males (and females) to induce lactation through constant
massage and simulated ‘sucking’ of the nipple over a long period of time
(months).

Bart Simpson’s Tomacco (half tomato, half tobacco) was possible
–
A tomacco is originally a fictional hybrid fruit that is half tomato
and half tobacco, from the 1999 episode “E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)” of The
Simpsons; the method used to create the tomacco in the episode is
fictional. The tomacco became real when it was allegedly produced in
2003. Inspired by The Simpsons, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon
successfully grafted a tomato plant onto the roots of a tobacco plant,
which was possible because both plants come from the same family.
