An encrypted monument stands outside of the CIA headquarters in Virginia.
This monument was created by artist Jim Sanborn and features four inscriptions. 3 of 4 of the inscriptions have been cracked already. However, no one seems to be able to crack the final code to this day.

The human body is the cause of metallic smells found in coins and other metals.
Upon contact with come metals, 1 Octen 3 One is formed as the result of the decomposition of oil present on the skin. This is what causes the metallic smell from metal.

While Japan is known for its high speed trains (320 Kph Bullet Train) , it is also known for its slow trains.
The Resort Shirakami Train between Aomori and Akita travels at 10 KpH. This is to give the passengers time to appreciate the breathtaking scenery. That's about 10 feet per second. https://jreast.travel/joyfultrain/shirakami.php

The expiration date is for the bottle itself. After some time, the plastic will begin to leach into the liquid.

Monkeys in the wild do not eat bananas
The edible banana is a cultivated domesticated plant and fruit. Wild monkeys never encounter bananas at all ever unless they are around human habitation where bananas are or have been planted.
