Google Search Fun Facts

Yesterday, Google released fun fact trivia about living things that will show when you search for information about that item.  Right now, the fun facts will show for plants, animals, fruits, and vegetables.  When you refresh the page, you will get another fun fact about what you are searching for.

So in case you are itching to know that cats can't chew large chunks of food because their jaws cannot move sideways, or that the inside of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees colder than the outside, then this new little tidbit is for you.

Just think of how impressed all of your friends will be at dinner parties when you start spewing facts like how the venom of a black widow spider is 15 times more potent than the venom of a rattlesnake. Or maybe you can blow people's minds by imparting your knowledge of how radishes grow so fast that they can be ready to eat in as little as 3 weeks.

If you are a collector of random facts, then this new feature is for you.  For the rest of us, it is a cool little item that Google has added to spruce up our search results.  And, you never know, you may just learn something new.
