The only plane allowed to fly on 9/11 post attacks was a plane from San Diego to Miami delivering an anti-venom to a man bitten by a highly poisonous snake. It was accompanied by two jet fighters.

The venom of one of the South’s most poisonous snakes (copperhead Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix) has been found to contain a protein that halts the growth of cancer cells and stops the migration of tumors cells.

The oldest pair of pants found so far are over 3,000 years old. Found in the Turfan region of China.


What is especially interesting is that these pants are made of four completely different weaves depending on if flexibility was important or support, or protection. What is even more interesting is that these pants are made of one piece of cloth with transitions between the weave instead of separate pieces sewn together.

Wasp venom contains a chemical that alerts other wasps to join in and sting the victim.



Great

Talk about a harsh final exam...


For the Japanese chefs trying to earn the legal permission to serve Puffer fish (whose poison is over 1000 times more toxic than cyanide), one of their tests is to eat Puffer fish they’ve prepared.


You either pass the test or you don't. (gulp)
