     Quarks exist in pairs and triplets inside atomic particles. There are no naked quarks. If you attempt to pull them apart, new quarks *appear* to pair up to the quarks in the previous pair.

     @RickiTarr That about half the population is capable of pushing the equivalent of an 8 lb ham out of their bodies via their vaginas.

     @RickiTarr Not impossible, but definitely at odds with our view of ourselves:

     More than 99.8% of the mass of the solar system is the Sun. Jupiter is about 2/3 of the remainder. We are a rounding error.

     @RickiTarr There's a species of jellyfish that is "biologically immortal”.. in the absence of predation or disease, they can basically regenerate forever.

     @WagesOf Just like Keith Richards, who has been alive and growing since the 1940s and is immortal!

     @FlagrantError @RickiTarr there's also a human cancer that's been alive and growing since the 1950s that's immortal.
