Worker ants take 250 naps a day that last a little over a minute long on average and total to around 4 and a half hours of sleep. This allows 80% of the workforce to be active at any one time. Queen ants on the other hand, take 90 naps a day which average about 6 minutes each, getting about 9 hours of sleep a day. Scientists think this may be why worker ants live only for months while the queens live for years.
Ants don’t have enough mass to die on impact, no matter the height.
Cats are made entirely out of cat-food and water.
The sound you hear before water starts to boil is actually the first water vapor bubbles forming at the bottom and imploding as they reach colder water just above. The sound you hear is the shock wave that is created from the cavitation that occurs.

The sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” uses every letter in the alphabet.
