Everyone’s seen mold on food at some point. Its spores are everywhere around us, and they fly in the air looking for a nice warm and damp place to live and grow. When a mold spore sits down on a wet surface, it grows thin fibers that tangle and form that grey and fluffy fungus we’re used to seeing.

The dangerous kinds of mold can have a different impact on a human body – from allergies to poisonings.

Have you ever wondered if there are things an airplane simply can’t or won’t do? It turns out that airplanes have strict rules regarding their pathways in the sky – for safety reasons, and for the sake of staying friendly with continental neighbors. Some of the places they’re not allowed to fly over might surprise you!

For example, planes won’t fly directly over the Earth’s poles and over the Pacific Ocean. You can't see planes over Tibet and over the City of Mecca. The airspace over Walt Disney World and Disneyland is also a no-fly zone. The same applies to Area 51 but we don't know why.

Buying a brand new car is awesome, isn’t it? Here it is, all glossy and impeccable, waiting for you to hop behind the wheel! But the price tag on it still doesn’t let you sleep at night! Especially since you know you could’ve bought a similar but used one at almost half the amount. And it doesn’t only concern cars, you know! Many second-hand things can cost a lot less, while still being as good as new.

Take books as an example. A book from a bookstore, especially a hardcover, can cost a crazy amount of money. It won’t have that crisp feeling the books from stores have, of course, but hey, you’re buying it for its contents, aren’t you? And what about furniture? It is never cheap. But you can search online and find an item that’s been used gently and looks great while having a tempting price tag!

In the 18th century, a nutrient deficiency among sailors called scurvy was discovered. Can you guess what vitamin deficiency that is? Yup, vitamin C. Sailors were also given limes and lemons, which is what gave them the nickname limeys back in the day. But…that’s another story.

So, you’re lying on your couch in the evening, watching a Bright Side video on your phone, but all of a sudden the sound turns off all by itself. You tap your finger on the phone, check the volume, but everything seems to be alright. Just no sound. You click off the video and start to get up, when you suddenly realize you can’t hear your own movements.

The silence is… disconcerting. You try to say something, but no words come out of your mouth. You shape them, you feel them, but you can’t hear them. Panic is rising. You look out the window and see the city — something’s clearly off. Cars stop erratically and turn on the emergency brake lights. People in the streets gesture too much and look around them in wonder and fear. You have a dawning suspicion that it’s not only about you...
