In 2005, a 22-year-old man named Ronald MacDonald was charged with stealing money from a safe at a Wendy's fast-food restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. However, the Associated Press noted that there was no relation to the criminal who was caught red-handed and the red-nosed clown with the very similar name.

Bumblebee bats, which are also known as Kitti's hognose bats, are "the smallest bat[s] in the world, maybe even the smallest mammal," Rob Meis, director of the Organization for Bat Conservation, told National Geographic. He explained that the tiny flyer doesn't even weigh two grams, which is less than the weight of a dime.

The fruit you buy at the grocery store isn't as fresh as you think it is. Frankly, thanks to the picking, shipping, and storing process, the apples that you find at your local store might already be a year old by the time you pick them up, according to Today.

Looking at information from NASA's Cassini spacecraft that focused on Saturn's rings, astronomers found that the planet has a diffuse core—also known as a fuzzy core. Caltech's Christopher Mankovich, who co-authored a study published by Nature Astronomy in 2021 about the findings—explained, "The fuzzy cores are like a sludge. The hydrogen and helium gas in the planet gradually mix with more and more ice and rock as you move toward the planet's center." He added, "It's a bit like parts of Earth's oceans where the saltiness increases as you get to deeper and deeper levels, creating a stable configuration."

"It has been known for many years now that ultraviolet radiation from sunlight increases testosterone levels in males, and we also know that sunlight plays a major role in both the behavioral and hormonal regulation of sexuality," explains Carmit Levy, who was behind a study published by Cell Reports in 2021. That research found that UVB light—which also comes from sunlight—boosts "romantic passion" in both genders.

When you fall asleep at night, do you prefer to be in a fetal position, flat on your back, or sprawled out on your stomach? There may be more to how you sleep than just what makes you comfortable. According to The Telegraph (via Dreams.co.uk), sleep experts have found a correlation between a person's preferred nightly position and their personality. For instance, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service Chris Idzikowski explained that people who opt for the fetal position "may appear tough but are actually sensitive souls right to their core."

We've seen the heartwarming videos of dogs nursing baby squirrels back to health—and that's actually much more common than we think. It becomes mutually beneficial to have more furry friends in the group to take on other roles in survival—whether that be hunting, gathering, or just simply cute companionship. Though the phenomenon isn't completely understood, it's clear that both humans and animals have an instinct to care for others.

The country with the widest stretch of land, Russia, spans 11 different time zones. France, though, technically has the most, clocking in at 12—but that's due to the fact that its territories are dispersed in various parts of the world. The U.S. ties with Russia in second, but not all time zones are inhabited.

So, Russia is the only place in the world where one citizen could be waking up at 8:00 a.m. and another could be going to bed at 11:00 p.m.
