Fact: The human is the only animal that laughs. Mostly, we laugh at ourselves. It's not because we think we're so extremely much funnier than others, but rather as a way of communicating with others. Like making sure others know that you're joking or being sarcastic etc.

(Hyenas may sound like they're laughing, but it's only a sound).

Fact: The reason why so many have to pee or poop when they get nervous or stressed is because all focus & blood go to the brain, the muscles & the heart. Other body parts take the backseat, like the bowels & the bladder (which means they relax a bit too much).
All vertebrates have this function.

Here's a fact that many women don't even know: Menstruation is shedding the thickened uterine lining from the uterus (+ the extra blood) through the vagina. The lining builds up in the uterus so the egg can get stuck to it. A non-fertelized egg will break apart. Then the body rejects the lining, which causes the monthly bleeding. The cramps are contractions in the uterus that causes temporary lack of oxygen in these parts.
Heat is a good way to calm the cramps. Like a hot shower or a heating pad.

King George II of Great Britain died on the toilet. The official cause of death was aortic dissection from straining too hard while....um, doing his #2's. His critics thus began making light of the situation by referring to using the toilet as "being on the throne," a euphemism that survives to this day.

Babies can swim & be under watcer because of the environment in the womb + how they can still redirect the water, so that it ends up in the stomach instead of the lungs. But when the system grows, they lose this capacity. But the only reason they forget how to swim is because parents stop taking them to water after baby swimming. It's better to keep up the swimming practice after the baby stage.
