In the know of some things not everyone knows.

Galileo’s middle finger is preserved and displayed at Florence, Italy. A certain Galileo fan clipped it from his right hand when his body was moved to the monumental tomb by Viviani. It kinda looks creepy now.

Honeybees can recognize human faces! At least they can retain this memory for two days. Weird enough, some humans can’t recognize faces! It’s a condition called prosopagnosia. (Read a CNN article about it.) These people have trouble remembering faces, even those of family members!

    OMG that’s so weird. Who would keep some dead person’s finger? No matter how famous? I’m still creeped out how Marcos’s body is preserved in the Philippines. Yikes! Haha
