You chop an onion, wash your hands with soap — even twice — and still… that smell sticks around. Why?
Why won’t onion smell leave your hands? It’s sulfur compounds bonding to your skin proteins! Soap doesn’t break those bonds. Try lemon juice or… rubbing stainless steel!

Did you know that sometimes, boiling water freezes faster than cold water?

Why is a three-legged table often more stable than a four-legged one?

But... if the bird touches another wire or a grounded object at the same time — zap.
