Have you ever wondered how long it takes us to brush our teeth in a lifetime? And how long does it take a person to see all the exhibits of the Louvre in Paris? Did you know that ketchup was once a medicine?
We have collected for you another collection of interesting facts about everything in the world. We offer you to sit back and start reading right now!

1. The average person in his life goes around the globe about 5 times

If you are not a fan of the sofa, then on average you will walk about 7500 steps a day.
If we assume that a person on average lives up to 80 years, it turns out that during
your life you will pass a distance equal to
177.027 km. The circumference of the Earth along the equator is 40,075 km. So, the average person who travels an average distance per day and lives an average life expectancy, it is quite possible that he will bypass the Earth about 5 times.

2. It is a common misconception that Vincent Van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime

Just a few months before his death, Van Gogh sold his painting "Red Vineyards in Arles". Many claim that this was the only painting he sold in his entire life, but this is far from the truth.
In reality, he sold a number of paintings: one to a Parisian art dealer, the other to an art gallery in London.
Throughout his life, he also exchanged many paintings with friends in exchange for art or even food.
The painting "Red Vineyards in Arles" was his only major sale, so this misconception appeared.

3. When ants crawl, they leave cards for their relatives
 

When ants crawl, they leave traces of pheromones as cards for other ants. This means that they can crawl the fastest way to food sources or to their anthill.
The more ants crawl along the same route, the clearer the map is to others. So even if a few ants somehow get lost, they will usually still find their way home.
Surprisingly, ants do not smell pheromones, but detect them with their antennae.

 

4. Tears contain a natural painkiller that reduces pain and improves mood

 

 

The next time you find yourself on the verge of tears, it may be time to stop holding them back and just let them come out.
The explanation basically boils down to the fact that emotional tears (as opposed to tears that can shed due to eye irritation) contain endorphins.
Endorphins are a natural analgesic of our body and mood improvers.

5. Saturn is the only planet in our solar system that can float in water

Although Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system, it is the lightest planet.
Saturn can float in water because it is mostly made up of gas. However, for this you just need a giant bath!
Interesting fact: one year on Saturn is equivalent to 10,759 Earth days, or about 29.5 Earth years.

6. Cats tails are longer than cats

But that's not for any particular reason — cats have longer tails simply because they're on average larger than cats.
Cat tails are usually proportional to their torso, so the larger the torso, the longer the tail.
On average, the tails of males reach 28 cm, while the tails of females are 25 cm long.

7. More than 40,000 toilet-related injuries occur annually in the U.S.
 

It may be shocking, but injuries of this kind are much more common than you might think.
Some injuries are actually not surprising: for example, the fall of children from the toilet.
But there are injuries of another kind: for example, when the toilet is actually destroyed under the weight of the person sitting on it.

8. Madonna suffers from brontophobia, fear of thunder
 

Although, judging by the name, it is more like a fear of brontosaurus, in fact "bronto" in both words means "thunder".
Be that as it may, madonna's fear is a genuine and often paralyzing state.
In fact, she is so afraid of thunder and lightning that she requires regular weather reports before her performances.

9. In 1998, Sony accidentally sold 700,000 video cameras with technology that allows you to see through clothes
 

Sony's mistake was actually quite innocent, as the cameras were simply created to shoot better in the dark.
In any case, once they realized their mistake, they tried to recall their cameras, which was the largest product recall to date.
The cameras could see through clothes because they were equipped with the ability to record in the infrared range.
It was soon discovered that if you us
