Taco Bell was named after its owner, Glen Bell.
Taco Bell may feature a big bell on its logo, but the fast food chain didn't take its name from the musical instrument.

Bell's first restaurant named Taco Bell opened in Downey, California, in 1962.

Eating Carbs puts on Pounds
Despite the many hit diets that promote cutting carbs from your meals, this dietary component is not inherently fattening. Like any other kind of food, eating too much of it will lead to weight gain, but as Livestrong helpfully puts it, "Instead of avoiding carbohydrates, focus on eating healthy carbs in the proper portion size."

The sentence, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the English language.

Monkeys shouldn't eat bananas.
If you happen to be around a monkey, you might be inclined to feed it a banana. But the fact is, bananas contain far too much sugar for monkeys to handle. "Giving this fruit to animals is equivalent to giving them cake and chocolate," according to Amy Plowman, head of conservation and advocacy at the Paignton Zoo in Devon, U.K. "Compared to the food they would eat in the wild, bananas … have lots of calories and contain much more sugar that's bad for their teeth and can lead to diabetes and similar conditions. It can also cause gastrointestinal problems as their stomachs are mostly adapted to eating fibrous foods with very low digestibility."

The lint in the bottom of your pocket has a name.
At some point in time, for whatever reason, someone decided to give a name to the lint that collects in the bottom of your pockets. And that name is hilariously "gnurr."

The Chills You Get When Listening to Music Are Caused by Your Brain Releasing Dopamine
Some songs affect you more than others, pumping you up with energy or making you cry ugly tears. And then there are tunes that give you the chills. When that happens, it's due to the fact that your brain reacts to the stimulation by releasing dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that causes pleasure.

Sleeping through summer is called "estivation."
You surely know that when bears and other animals sleep through the colder winter weather it's called "hibernation." But did you know that there's a name for sleeping through the summer? If you were to snooze the sun-soaked months away, then you would be indulging in "estivation." Snails, tortoises, salamanders, and crocodiles all estivate, as do the Malagasy fat-tailed dwarf lemur and East African hedgehogs.

If you’re throwing a body (or parts of a body) into a lake, don’t put it in plastic bags. Plastic bags get filled with the gas that is emitted when a body decays, and then the bags will float. Plastic bags will also prevent water from getting to the body. You want water to get to the body. This speeds up the rate of decomposition and also washes away trace evidence.
