By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

The reason we say "redhead" instead of "orangehead" for hair color is because English didn't differentiate between the colors until the 1540s, long after the term
was coined.

If a female octopus is hungry and doesn't want to mate, but the male tries to, she'll let him insert his mating arm, and begin the process before inching closer to him... then she'll strangle him, kill him, and feast on his corpse in her den for a few days.

The moon is 1/400th the size of the sun, but it's also 1/400th the distance away from Earth. This is why the sun and moon look like they're the same size; a coincidence not shared by any other known planet-moon combination.

Even though they don't have wings, spiders can fly for hundreds of miles (across entire oceans) on long strands of silk using Earth's electric fields; it's called "ballooning."

Spiders have been found two-and-a-half miles up in the air, and 1,000 miles out to sea.
