WETTER WATER!!!!!!!!

 

I know that this is going to sound weird, but did you know that firefighters use chemicals that make water wetter? As many people know, the firefighters use water to put out fires. So they use the chemical to make it easier for the water to spread and soak into things. For a more sciency term, https://www.rd.com/list/interesting-facts/ says that "the chemicals reduce the surface tension of plain water so it's easier to spread and soak into objects...".

Fact 1: Our brains are always on the job. When people say that you only use 10 percent of your brain, it is actually a myth.

One part analyzes meaning, and the other recognizes words automatically.

 Did you know that the population of human twins has increased?       Yes it's true. There are more twins now than ever before.  Human Reproduction  says that since the 1980s, the amount of twins being born has increased by a 3rd. Every year there are about 1.6 million twin babies being born. I don't know about you all, but I think that's an awful lot of twins!

The younger she is, she is less likely to have twins.
