Strawberries aren't actually berries, but bananas, avocados, pumpkins and watermelons are!

It’s probably rare that you hear a banana, avocado, or pumpkin referred to as a berry, but the fact is they are. It seems like people generally consider a berry to be a small fruit that comes in bunches, but in reality there are several definitions for what people call berries.
There are drupes, which are fleshy fruit produced from a single seeded ovary with a hard stony layer, like peaches, plums, and cherries. Olives also fall into this category. There are pomes, which are fruits that have a structure that separates the seeds from the ovary tissue, like apples and pears. Some of the smaller pomes are also called berries sometimes.
There are aggregate fruits like the blackberry and raspberry, which are fruits that contain seeds from different ovaries of a single flower. There are multiple fruits, which are fruits that are made from multiple flowers packed together, like the mulberry. Lastly, there are accessory fruits, where the edible part is not generated by the ovary, which includes the strawberry.
So by these definitions, a strawberry is not a berry. A berry is simply a fruit that has seeds and pulp produced from a single ovary. In addition to those already said, this includes the blueberry, coffee berry, cranberry, gooseberry, grape, persimmon, and tomato.

The voice of the Woody dolls isn't Tom Hanks, it's his brother, Jim

Jim Hanks is also an actor. He has plenty of on-screen roles, but a lot of his acting credits come from voice-over work as Woody from Toy Story. He pretty much plays Woody in all of his non-movie appearances. He also was his brother Tom’s “running double” in Forrest Gump. Check out his IMDB profile.

The horned lizard can squirt blood out of its eyes to protect itself from predators! YUCK!!

The horned lizard can squirt blood out of its eyes to protect itself from predators!

Sometimes called Horned Toads, these animals are actually lizards. The horned lizard has spines on its back and sides, which are made from modified scales.
This little dude has some really cool ways to avoid being eaten. First of all, their colors serve as camouflage. Their first defense is to remain still to avoid detection. Then, if the predator gets too close, they run and stop in short bursts to confuse. At least 4 species can also squirt blood from the corner of their eyes for up to 5 feet!

There are blue rabbits!

They're a type of American rabbit knows as the 'American Blue.' Bred from a species of German rabbit, the American Blue was actually developed in the early 1900's. It was originally named the 'German Blue,' but renamed shortly after World War I because of overseas tensions.
Bred in Pasadena, California by Lewis Salisbury for its meat and fur, it is known for being the deepest and darkest of all blue rabbits. However, after its development the rabbit was quickly ignored due to competition for oversea breeds.

Random Fact

Many cats are lactose intolerant.

Despite the prevailing notion that cats love milk, most are not able to digest it well. Serving a cat milk can lead to an upset stomach, indigestion, cramps and kitty gas. If your cat insists on having milk, try giving it a small bowl of cream once in a while (a few times a week at most). Strangely enough, milk with less fat tends to have more lactose, so avoid giving your cat skim milk.

Cats also can't eat onions, garlic, or related vegetables because it gives anemia. Green tomatoes also can give your kitty intestinal problems. And, like dogs, your cat shouldn't eat chocolate either.

This article has more tips on what your cat can and can't eat.

Bouncy Egg

If you put an egg in vinegar, the shell dissolves and the egg becomes clear!

The acetic acid in vinegar breaks apart the shell’s calcium carbonate crystals. The reaction turns the crystals into CO2 that escapes as a gas (hence the bubbles) and calcium ions.

Here are the instructions for how to do this at home.

Also, if you hard-boil the egg first you’ll get a bouncy egg! Check it out:
