    The stars don't come out at night.



    They're there all day long, but we just can't see them due to the overwhelming light of the sun.

    The only stop light in the U.S. with the green on top is in the "Tipp" (Tipperary) Hill section of Syracuse N.Y. Just google it to find out the whole story!

    Jellybeans are a tasty treat and come in many flavors, but did you realize their shiny coating is made from bug feces? Shellac, also known as confectioner’s glaze, is made from a resin excreted by the female lac beetle, indigenous to India and Thailand. The resin is processed into flakes, dissolved in denatured alcohol to make liquid shellac, and then sprayed on food products or used to make lacquer for hardwood floors and furniture.

    Peanuts are actually legumes, not nuts
