Hello, I'm wint. This is my first post and I'd just like to share 5 random and interesting facts I found while surfing the internet. Thank you!
1. Woman who hasn't laughed or smiled in 40 years
Tess attributes her wrinkleless and young complexion to this amazing feat Source
Tess Christian, a 50 year old woman, claims she has not laughed or smiled since she was 10. Not even smiling when her daughter was born, she stated, "After Stevie's birth I was overwhelmed with joy, but still didn't feel the need to smile."
2. Bees have been around for millions of years
The creators of honey are estimated to be 100 million years old. Source
The oldest known bee fossil is about 130 million years old. Honey bees are believed to have evolved with flower pants during the Cretaceous period.
3. Chicken nugget sells for $8,100 on eBay![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/wpid-article-1331041092541-120afd54000005dc-989189_466x310.jpg)
A Nebraskan woman put a chicken nugget resembling George Washington on the popular buying/selling website eBay. Her eBay post gained popularity, reaching 40,000 viewers and ending with 71 bids; gaining her a cool $8,100 which she donated to her local church.
4. Richest person to ever live
Many historians consider Mansa Musa to be the richest man to have ever existed. Source
Keita I, a devoted muslim, was the tenth Mansa (meaning king) of the Malian Empire. During his time as king in the 14th century, he amassed a wealth of $400 billion through his exploitation of salt and gold production.
5. Stressed out Snakes eat themselves
Snakes are cold blooded animals; meaning they use external heat sources, like the sun, to warm themselves. If the snake gets too hot they become confused/disoriented and gain a ramped-up metabolism which gives them a false sense of hunger causing them to eat the first thing they see.

I love the pics of the snakes eating themselves; classic metaphor material, I have never seen it occur myself in real life.
