I enjoy finding obscure, unusual facts online. Sometimes they might be strange, sometimes informative, sometimes relatable, funny or just odd. Here are some of the latest I found to share with you..
TRICKY CROWS
-Crows will pull the tail of an animal to distract them in order to steal their meal. Pretty sneaky!
Do you know what symbol crows are often associated with?
DOLL'S IDENTITY
-Ken from the Barbie and Ken dolls has a last name. It's "Carson." I don't believe he is related to Johnny. 
Both Barbie and Ken were sold wearing a bathing suit, their first official outfits. Hang Ten!
Did you play with a Barbie or Ken doll as a kid?
ASTRONAUTS DON'T CRY
-Well, at least not in space where no gravity makes the tears impossible. Another fun fact: Astronauts need to wear diapers in space and need special potty training, 
Can you guess how long Astronauts stay up in space when visiting one of their space stations ?

Amazing about the astronauts. And how did they change their diaper in that tiny Apollo spacecraft? I saw a Gemini that Gus Grissom piloted at the Grissom museum in Mitchell, Indiana, and there’s just no room in there to think. Let alone change a diaper!

@dgobucks226 — if they left them on the entire time in orbit that would explain why they were quarantined when they got back to earth!

A good question? An interesting fact left best to one's imagination 
More fun facts:
The Ken doll was born in 1961 making him two years Barbie's junior. Ken dated Barbie for 43 years before a breakup in 2004. They got back together on Valentine's Day 2011, and have remained as a couple ever since, yea!
An astronaut lost his wedding ring on the moon once and found it during a spacewalk. 6 and a half months to visit the space station. An estimated trip to Mars would take 2 years.

Due to my gender being male, I never played with a doll since back then it would be out of bounds for male to play with dolls with in this era dolls would be called "Action figures."

Crows are quite interesting birds. Crows are often considered very smart birds and very good problem solvers. They are good for the environment too. They can eat a variety of insects totaling up to 40,000 in one nesting season, and crows help renew forests by transporting seeds.

I have no idea how long astronauts stay in space. I have never played with barbie doll in my childhood. I played with other dolls. Where the crow is concerned I have never seen it pulling other animals tail. Yes, it has snatched cake from my hand when I was a child.

I never had a Barbie doll. I don't know about the crow symbol or how long astronauts are in space when visiting the space stations. Thanks for the facts. Have a good weekend.

@dgobucks226 The fact that the ring was able to be recovered, especially considering where it was lost, is quite remarkable.
