I am always interested in sharing some facts I find that I feel are interesting. Here are a few:
* There are at least 11 species of fish have the ability to walk on land and breathe in air.
* About one million Earths could fit inside the sun, which is roughly 109 times the diameter of Earth.
* The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn.
* Light- roast coffee contains around 1.37% caffeine, and medium-roast and dark contain 1.21% caffeine.
* Ketchup was once sold as a medicine. It was once believed that tomato ketchup had medicinal properties. It was used for the treatment of indigestion, arthritis, jaundice, and some other ailments.
* Babies are born with about 300 bones. As we age some fuse together. Adults have 206 bones.

Very interesting. Maybe those walking fish will evolve even further in the future.

@celticeagle I believe that apes will evolve in the distant future. Maybe Planet of the Apes will become a reality!!!

@celticeagle Because some haven't studied or come across with them. They're not wide reader.

I seem to recall seeing a video of a fish supposedly walking. It was rather weird.

Some I knew and some I didn't thanks for sharing, I had a friend who is a year older than me she was my childhood friend, When my parents went to visit hers they took me along to play with my friend, I guess i was about 7 so she would be 8 and when we got there she was not home, Her parents said she had poured ketchup on most of the foods she ate and wound up in the hospital with an ulcer,

Isn't that odd? And it used to be used as medicine for just such an ailment.

@RasmaSandra ......That's a shame. They thought I had an ulcer when I was about 13 or 14. I think it was just nerves.

I enjoy sharing what I find.
Some ketchup is very sweet so I can see why some children would really like it. I have seen where some poor people make soup out of it.
