If you were to live in complete darkness, your body would eventually adjust to a 48-hour-day where you stay awake for 36 hours and then sleep for 12 hours. 

I guess that's one way to change my sleep schedule. If only I could retreat from society and live in darkness for the rest of my life. Too bad I have classes to attend.

A football huddle was invented at Gallaudet University, an all-deaf school, to prevent opposing teams from seeing their signs. 

I never would've guessed that this is how huddles started.

It requires seven to eight trees to provide enough oxygen for just one person per year.

So, why are we cutting down so many trees without replanting new ones? Pretty soon we're going to be screaming for trees!

Japanese death row inmates are not told their date of execution.
