Mammals that lay eggs are called montremes, and there is only five types left. Four types of echnida and the platypus.

Smartarse ffs.
An adult is made up of around 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (7 octillion) atoms.
The red colour of blood arises because the iron is bound in a ring of atoms in haemoglobin called porphyrin and it's the shape of this structure that produces the colour.
Our DNA includes the genes from at least eight retroviruses. These are a kind of virus that makes use of the cell's mechanisms for coding DNA to take over a cell. At some point in human history, these genes became incorporated into human DNA. These viral genes in DNA now perform important functions in human reproduction, yet they are entirely alien to our genetic ancestry.

The first shots of WW1 fired by British forces were at Fort Perch Rock in New Brighton (A Norwegian sailing ship came up the Rock Channel that had been declared closed at the start of the war. Unfortunately the gunners had the wrong elevation on their gun and the shell flew over the ship and landed in Hightown on the other side of the Mersey. Apparently an irate householder collected the shell, put it in a bucket and took it to the Merseyside Defence HQ and demanded some kind of explanation! The captain of the Norwegian vessel when eventually challenged about his ship’s use of the closed channel replied that he did not know that a war had started!)
New Brighton is also home to the first training school for guide dogs in the UK.
