the amount of energy it would take to create a wavelength small enough to observe the planck length (1.61622837e-35 meters) is so high that it would likely create a miniature black hole in the process, thus blocking us from actually being able to observe quantum effects
the amount of energy of which i speak is called the planck energy btw

u can easily calculate percentages using this rule:
x percent of y is also y percent of x
for example:
10% of 90 is also 90% of 10
20% of 50 is also 50% of 20
90% of 50 is also 50% of 90

drshdwpuppetIn (healthy) people, the primary urge to breathe is not due to low levels of blood oxygen, but instead elevated levels of blood CO2.
Bonus: Usually when blood levels of CO2 are diminished, breathing will slow to compensate. However, when levels fall too fast, this causes the blood to become alkaline, which in turn causes the haemoglobin in your blood to hold on to the oxygen it carries instead of releasing it to the tissues that need it. This then causes your brain to prioritise higher tissue oxygen levels over acceptable blood CO2 levels, which causes the person to breathe even more quickly and deeply, thus exhaling even more CO2 and starting a vicious cycle. This is hyperventilation; not caused by a lack of O2, but a lack of CO2.

One of the most toxic substances occurs in some species of zoanthids and palythoa 'corals' [they are readily found sold for reef tanks alongside actual corals, but they are actually related to jellyfish and sea anemones]. The palytoxin can enter the body through inhalation or exposure, and can result in death. Gloves and facial protection are a must when handling specimens, as the toxin can easily enter through cuts on the body or through the mouth and eyes.
Clownfish are born as hermaphrodites that develop into males as they age. Among the group, the most dominant will change into a female, and the second will become a dominant male. The rest become subdominant males. If the dominant female dies, the next fish in line will become the new female.
Some species of cichilds [I'm most familiar with apistogramma and the ram cichild] will develop female-like coloration when living among a dominant male to fool him into thinking there are just females around. In most fish species, the male is the more colorful. The muted coloration helps curb aggression from the dominant male, and when the dominant male is removed, another will change coloration.
Corals are actually a type of colonial marine invertebrate, the structure consists of a hard calcium carbonate skeleton that houses the colony of polyps. Most are photosynthetic due to their symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, but they can also feed on plankton and small invertebrates and fish. Some can be aggressive to other corals, and can extend sweeper tentacles several inches long that sting their neighbors.

A hockey fan taunting Steve Sullivan (of the Chicago Blackhawks) about his cut nose from getting hit by a puck got hit on the head by a loose puck shortly after the play continued. The odds of a puck landing in the fan seats is already large enough, but it having the angle and velocity due to the glass of hitting someone hard is gigantic, and the odds of it hitting that fan in particular out of thousands is astronomical ESPECIALLY after he taunted Sullivan for getting hit by a puck.
Hawaiian pizza is almost assuredly not even American, and is purported to have been created by Canadian Sam Panopoulos in Chatham, Ontario as an experiment in 1960 and releasing it on his restaurant's menu in 1962.
Kevin Spacey is not only a good-looking man with a ton of Oscars and millions of adoring fans, but he's also a very talented musician, especially on vocals. He actually created a personal "vanity project" (to some) called Beyond the Sea which is a feature-length film that was a commercial failure and was mixed amongst critics for its portrayal of Bobby Darin's life. It's considered by some as a vanity project because Spacey co-produced, directed and co-wrote the film as well as sang every song in the movie himself. Here's a link to one excerpt from the movie (he's a hell of a jazz singer, no?).
The end to The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, which is incidentally my favourite moment in any movie ever and if you haven't seen it then you have to (it's legendary), actually has a story hidden with the 3 gunfighters' movements. How their eyes move to one another, their hand movements, etc were all designed to tell a story without words that eventually lead to

There were several naturally occurring nuclear fission reactors operating in what is now a Uranium mine in Oklo, Gabon around 1.7 billion years ago. This was discovered due to a significant depletion in the Uranium-235 isotope at the mine compared to what would be expected. Groundwater in the uranium deposits acted as a moderator to slow the chain reaction of decays, similarly to how moderators are used in modern day reactors.

This includes stuff like chainsaws and engines.
