Well, yeah. Jefferson died in Virginia, and Adams died in Massachusetts.

Have you ever heard of Maple syrup?


You MUST refrigerate maple syrup after opening the container. It does not have the natural preservatives that honey does.

But it contains zero preservatives unless you buy the fake crap. That is the point.

Honey has antibacterial properties, hence the original fun fact. Pure maple syrup does not. Just like beer, lots of organic products, most dairy products, you MUST refrigerate after opening, unlike honey.

That’s why we aren’t finding edible maple syrup in ancient tombs.

There are multiple rivers in the United States where the smaller river by water volume continues its name below the junction with a larger river. Some of the prominent examples are:

Ohio > Mississippi
Yellowstone > Missouri
Flathead > Clark Fork

Humans share 99.9 percent of their DNA with other humans. Eye, hair and skin color is determined by tiny switches on a tiny part of a genome.

Humans share 99.7 percent of DNA with Neanderthals, 98.8 percent with chimpanzees, and 98 percent with pigs. Oink!
