Your thigh bones are stronger than concrete

Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete. The thigh bone is called a femur and not only is it the strongest bone in the body, it is also the longest. Because the femur is so strong, it takes a large force to break or fracture it – usually a car accident or a fall from high up.

Today is the Spring Equinox where day and night are almost exactly equal across thd World.

The equinox marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, but to be more specific, it's the day the sun's rays shine onto the equator while the Earth sits with its axis tilted neither toward nor away from the sun.

This causes 12 hours of sunlight almost everywhere on Earth

There's one town in Poland where all of the 6,000 residents live on the same street. Sułoszowa is a village in southern Poland that lies around 29km north-west of Krakow, with all of the population clustered along a single, 9km street. According to CSO Poland, as of 2017, it had a population of 5,819 – all of whom live in harmony alongside one another.

Dolphins sleep with one eye open because they have to remain conscious to ensure they breathe and to watch out for predators, so only one side of their brain sleeps at a time, while the other half remains conscious and functioning and they alternate each side periodically. So the side of their brain which remains awake, the eye stays open, even though the other half of their brain is asleep. 🐬
