Up until four to seven months of age, object impermanence renders babies incapable of knowing that things exist even when they can't see them. For this reason, babies hate going to sleep in fear that the world is going to disappear. This fear, whether dormant or active, is what keeps children from wanting to nap.

In 1605, Daryll Shuerning discovered the narwhat, a species of gnat that unexplainably resembles a narwhal, which is native to the Bolivian border of Peru. Shuerning's discovery was later discredited because too many people were mispronouncing it as "nar-what" instead of "narwh-at."

Fruits and vegetables have multiple different stages in life: seedling, unripe, ripe, old, and mold. Some go into an extra stage known as "mipe" in which the fruit/veggie has molded and decayed to the point of being edible once more. This process is what was used to turn milk into cheese.

If a radioactive spider bites you, you will inherit its powers and physiological traits. If you bite the spider back, it shall take on your traits as well. Soon, you will both mutate to the point of becoming identical spiderfolk.

Girls' bodies go through very different changes compared to boys'. For example, at age fourteen, a girl's eyelashes grow out and connect the upper and lower lids, creating a baleen-like structure. This is used to filter krill into the pupils more easily.
