Pineapples were first used as bricks.

Posted on

When first discovered, pineapples were used as bricks to build homes. Until the man known only as the Polynesian “Sir Isaac ‪‎Newton”, discovered that pineapples are edible. Word got out all over the world of this delicious new fruit. People ate entire homes, and they didn’t miss their pineapple homes, because many were pricked by the prickly spines when they wandered around their dark rooms at night. Eventually sugar canes were a good substitute for building homes.

Hence the term: “Eating out of house and home”.

If a bowling ball, instead of an apple, fell on Sir Isaac ‪‎Newton’s head…

Little things mean a lot: If a bowling ball, instead of an apple, fell on Sir Isaac ‪‎Newton’s head, then he probably wouldn’t have invented ‪‎gravity‬.
Which means we would all be floating a few feet from the ground, just like the cavemen and ‪‎dinosaurs‬.

Fun Fact from Mr. Science: Honey

Updated on

Honey is the only food that includes all substances necessary to sustain life, including enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and water; and it’s the only food that contains “pinocembrin”, an antioxidant associated with improved brain functioning.

In an unusual experiment, two grads from University of Cleveland immersed a dinosaur fossil into honey, remarkably causing the dinosaur to revive and become whole again! Unfortunately, upon learning what has become of the world, the dinosaur became despondent. It got a job at Dairy Queen so that it could afford to buy a used van, then took to the highest mountain in Ohio, and drove the van straight off a cliff. The current official extinction date of dinosaurs is now 1997 A.D.

Mr. Science: Smartphones during Neanderthal age

Updated on

Smartphones are nothing new. During Neanderthal times, a villager by the name of Uug, who wanted to make smoke signals easier to use, invented the compact smoke signal apparatus, which could fit in the palm of the hand. Unfortunately, this invention was a safety hazard, causing men’s beards to catch on fire. Uug was banished from his tribe.

Uug was frustrated in living in such an unsophisticated world, and only eating pebbles for breakfast. So he built a spaceship that took him to the planet Krypton. The red sun from that solar system gave him super powers, and he became a super hero. But only one week later, Krypton exploded, and no one knows what became of Supperuug. Fortunately, Krypton’s tragedy gave Earth our own Superman, thank Rao.
