'A newborn's skeleton contains, on average, 94 more parts than that of an adult.'


Babies' skeletons are not yet composed of actual bones, like those of adults, and instead consist of around 300 pieces of bone and cartilage. All bones begin as cartilage and ossify over time, developing and receiving nutrients, and eventually fusing into an adult skeleton (with a total of 206 bones).

'High caffeine intake increases the risk of hallucination.'


A Durham University study in 2009 retorted that people identifying as "high caffeine users," drinking seven cups of coffee a day, were three times more likely than low-caffeine users (one cup a day) to hear voices or see things that aren't there. Researchers suggested that this could be because of caffeine's propensity to increase stress. The stress hormone cortisol (which increases blood pressure) is produced in greater amounts in a person consuming caffeine.

'The St. Elmo's Fire phenomenon is essentially a naturally occurring fluorescent light.'

Plasma, an ionized gas, is the most common form of matter in the universe (as stars are made of plasma), and it is also common in consumer products (neon signs, fluorescent lamps, plasma TVs). St. Elmo's Fire, the phenomenon named by sailors for the glow with which it surrounded the masts of ships, is essentially just the result of an object discharging electricity and ionizing the air around it.
