Have an interesting factoid that most people might not know about?

Please post it here and include any link(s) to supporting evidence.

Any topic is game!

I'll start...

#1: Did you know that cows don't produce milk unless they've recently given birth?

I'm embarrassed to admit that I did not know this until I was in my 40's. Turns out my ignorance isn't unusual.

... in order to maintain uninterrupted milk production, cows are forced year after year to go through an endless cycle of pregnancy and birth, only to have their calves immediately taken from them. Cows and calves cry out for each other as they are separated.

All forms of dairy farming involve forcibly impregnating cows. This involves a person inserting his arm far into the cow’s rectum in order to position the uterus, and then forcing an instrument into her vagina. The restraining apparatus used is commonly called a “rape rack.”

Behind the Myth: Happy Cows

Dairy cattle - Wikipedia

#2: Did you know that time moves faster on Mars due to gravity?

For a real mind-bender, watch Interstellar with Matthew Mcconaughey (my fave movie!)
