Little known facts of science - humour

Q: Why do mosquito bites itch?

A: when a mosquito bites, it mixes in blood from previous
victims. Sheep dna makes our blood unusually wooly
causing bites to itch

Q: why do potatoes and sweet potatoes taste so different?

A: potatoes grow underground
Sweet potatoes grow on trees. The sun tans them orange
And makes them taste lighter

Q: How did dinosaurs die?

A: After the dinosaurs ate everything on earth,
they dug deep into the ground to search for food.
Sadly, they became trapped in the holes, which is why we
find there skeletons underground today.

Q: How do magnets work?

A: Magnets are made of metal, which is mined from
the ground. They are magnetic because the
metal still contains little pieces of gravity inside it

Q: why do leaves change collar?

A: summer heat bakes each leaf, cooking out the
green chlorophyll. When the leaves are brown they
fall to the ground and are ready to eat.

If you're still reading I applaud you

I hope you enjoyed these little known facts of science
(except for the magnet one, that one is true...maybe...)
have a nice day!

    The science of humor can actually be a bit complicated to understand. It's only after you tune into science news https://www.wugt.news/post/science frequently that you realize this. I think that the science of humor is probably the most complicated of all.

    No I've grown pretty immune to it if a mosquito bites me it will just end up being much larger and inflamed than a normal bite

    When I was young if I was bitten by a mosquito I would die without treatment because of my allergy

    @picy You should start one of these on history. Which could include the year 1066 when King Harold was shot in the eye during his summer vacation in Hastings. Also why all the Victorians become extinct in 1901! Equally as silly is after making his Last Stand who pulled out the chair for General Custar to sit on ...

    Gravity is indeed not magnetism - gravity is a force which is measured at 9.81 metres per second squared. Magnetism is a guide which cannot be quantified to that extent unless electro-magnetism allows force to become an element within it or power to become part of it's mechanism. Favourite one has to be the dinosaurs joke!

    @KnightOfAraluen yup but gravity isn't magnetation tho

    The magnet one, while funny, is right. They do have a gravitational pull. Everything with mass does.
