10 unnecessarily retarded facts you're still glad you know now

Since we all apparently really enjoy completely useless info, she's back again, you know: the column with the ridiculous facts. You're welcome, huh.

1. In the evening, you are about two centimeters shorter than in the morning. No shit. Your intervertebral discs in your back contain fluid, and this is pressed out of your vertebrae throughout the day. At night, the fluid is replenished during your sleep.

2. Bangkok is actually not called Bangkok at all. The real name is a bit more complicated. Officially, the city is called Krunhthep Mahanakhon Bovorn Ratanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Pop Noparatratchatchani Burirom Udomratchanivetmahasathan Amornpiman Avartarnsathitsakkathatti Yavisnukarmprasit, which in short means City of Gardens. There, your turn again.

3. Ants breathe only once every two minutes, in case you were wondering.

4. Cold water weighs more than warm water. Let me explain. Because cold water has a greater ‘density’ than warm water, there are more water molecules in one liter of cold water than in one liter of warm water. This is why cold water weighs slightly more.

5. Storks poop on their legs to cool down. It’s true. The rascals. The evaporation of the droppings draws heat away from the birds themselves, allowing them to cool down. Ewhl.

6. People with red hair feel pain less quickly. However, redheads are more sensitive to cold and are more likely to suffer from toothache.

7. Realize: there is only one hole in a straw. A very big one. Yes, really. NEVER thought about it that way. It suddenly feels kind of awkward.

8. It rains diamonds on Saturn and Jupiter. And quite large ones too. Scientists from NASA and others suggest this. It could even be tons of diamonds. The worst part? They also melt away due to the hot core of the planets. Life is unfair sometimes.

9. You’re not going to like this, but… on a normal day, you inhale one liter of human farts. GROSS.

10. Dolphins have names for each other. They reserve certain sound signals for their best friends, which they never use otherwise. Aaaaawh. Okay, the little creatures were already cute, but this is next level.
