From social butterflies to solitary scavengers, virtually all animals gather into groups at some point in their lives. Safety in numbers is one reason for this since a pack of prey is less vulnerable to attack by predators. But many animals also rely on collective wisdom to help them make better decisions. Some even blur the line between individual and group, while others limit their social time to mating season. A group of Owls is called a parliament.

When the Soviet Union’s Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, he took along and ate the first meal in space: two servings of pureed meat and one of chocolate sauce – all in the yummy form of paste he squeezed from tubes, just like toothpaste! The early Mercury astronauts took along freeze-dried food in powdered form and bite-sized cubes, which they did not enjoy trying to rehydrate and eat.

In the average adult human, the brain represents about 2% of the body weight. Remarkably, despite its relatively small size, the brain accounts for about 20% of the oxygen and, hence, calories consumed by the body. This high rate of metabolism is remarkably constant despite the widely varying mental and motor activity.

The liver is the only organ in the human body that can regenerate. However some patients who have a diseased portion of their liver removed are unable to regrow the tissue and end up needing a transplant. Researchers from Michigan State University believe blood clotting factor fibrinogen may be responsible. For most patients with liver disease, a surgeon can perform a liver resection and remove the diseased portion of the liver.

Honey has been called the only food that truly lasts forever, thanks to its magical chemistry and the handiwork of bees. The nectar from flowers mixes with enzymes inside the bees that extract it, which changes the nectar’s composition and breaks it down into simple sugars that are deposited into honeycombs. Fanning action from the bees’ wings and the enzymes from their stomachs create a liquid that is both highly acidic and low in moisture—truly inhospitable digs for bacterial growth.

Like all insects, an ant's body is divided into three main parts: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. Ants have a hard, waterproof exoskeleton, which is made of a material called chitin. They have a set of simple eyes, which consist of many omatidia (eye facets) ocelli, which detect light and shadow. Ants also have two antennae they use to recognize their nest mates and detect enemies. When ants find food they emit pheromones that provide scent trails so their nest mates can find the food.

Eating crow is a colloquial idiom, used in some English-speaking countries, that means humiliation by admitting having been proven wrong after taking a strong position. The crow is a carrion eater that is presumably repulsive to eat in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow. The exact origin of the idiom is unknown, but it probably began with an American story published around 1850 about a dim-witted New York farmer.

Male bees are called drones. They make up roughly ten percent of the colony’s population, and they spend their whole lives eating honey and waiting for the opportunity to mate. When the time comes for the queen to make her nuptial flight, all the drones in other colonies will compete for the honor of insemination. They fly after the queen and attempt to mate with her in mid-air. If they mate successfully, they fall to the ground in a victorious death. The queen will mate with up to twenty drones and will store their spermatozoa in her spermatheca organ for the rest of her life. That’s where male duties end.

Protein Foods include seafood, meat, poultry, eggs, beans, peas, lentils, nuts, seeds, and soy products. Beans, peas, and lentils are also part of the Vegetable Group. Humans must eat a variety of protein foods to get more of the nutrients the body needs. Meat and poultry choices should be lean or low-fat, like 93% lean ground beef, pork loin, and skinless chicken breasts. Seafood options are higher in healthy fatty acids (called omega-3s) and lower in methylmercury, such as salmon, anchovies, and trout.

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds of nearby words in a phrase, often used as a literary device. An example is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers". The word alliteration comes from the Latin word littera, meaning "letter of the alphabet". It was first coined in a Latin dialogue by the Italian humanist Giovanni Pontano in the 15th century. It is used in the alliterative verse of Old English, Old Norse, Old High German, Old Saxon, and Old Irish. It was an important ingredient of the Sanskrit shlokas. Alliteration was also used in Old English given names. Today, it is used poetically in various languages around the world, as well as in music lyrics, article titles in magazines and newspapers, advertisements, business names, comic strips, television shows, video games, and in the dialogue and naming of cartoon characters.

Most of the human body is water, with an average of roughly 60%. The amount of water in the body changes slightly with age, sex, and hydration levels. While the average percentage of water in a person’s body is around 60%, the percentage can vary from roughly 45–75%. For example, babies have a high percentage of water in their bodies, which decreases with age. Also, fatty tissue contains less water than muscle, so the percentage of water can vary with body type.

A dozen (commonly abbreviated doz or dz) is a grouping of twelve. The dozen may be one of the earliest primitive integer groupings, perhaps because there are approximately a dozen cycles of the Moon, or months, in a cycle of the Sun, or year. Twelve is convenient because it has a maximal number of divisors among the numbers up to its double, a property only true of 1, 2, 6, 12, 60, 360, and 2520.
