One of the smartest animals on the earth is the dolphin, which may be due to their ability to save mental energy. The marine mammals have perfected a clever method that allows them to maintain partial consciousness even as a portion of their brain sleeps because they must continually be on the alert for predators.

McDonald's Intoduced Drive-Through Service Due To Military

Via Google

In a restaurant in Sierra Vista, Arizona, close to the fort Huachuca military installation, the first McDonald's Drive Thru was set up. Military regulations prohibited the soldiers from donning their uniforms in public, and they weren't about to change into civilian attire just to grab a burger and dash back to base. As a result, restaurant manager David Rich came up with a solution: he cut a hole in the wall to allow the military to pick up their orders without getting out of their vehicles. The idea soon gained popularity due to its practicality and simplicity.

Never tried it, myself."

Pigs Don't Sweat

Via Google

If you're the type of person to point out to someone who says they're "sweating like a pig" that if they were being biologically accurate, that would mean they weren't sweating at all. Because swine are born without sweat glands, the only way pigs know how to stay cool is to roll around in a cool puddle of mud.

The Fuller The Fridge, The More Energy Efficient It Is

Via Google

In addition to making, it more difficult to choose what to nibble on, an empty fridge wastes energy. The more vacant space there is inside the refrigerator, the warmer air is able to enter and displace the cold air when the door is opened, necessitating the production of cool air by the appliance. When the refrigerator is full, less cool air leaves and less power is needed to refill it. The authors of The Kitchen even advise people who have refrigerators to replace the empty air by filling empty bottles with water.

For 20 Years, A Cat Served as Mayor Of An Alaskan Town

Via Google

An orange cat by the name of Stubbs was elected honorary mayor of the town of Talkeetna in Alaska in 1997. Stubbs proved adept in the role, winning admirers from all over the world and "serving" in the office for years, greeting tourists and becoming a beloved symbol of the town until his passing in 2017.

The small town did not actually have a real, human mayor, but with a population of 772 in 2000, it would not have taken too many votes to earn the position (and the small town did not actually have a real, human mayor anyway).
