And there is a bonus fact as well:

random fact: even though chocolate is poisonous for dogs it exists dog candy with chocolate flavour, of course they've taken away the part that's dangerous for dogs but I say it's weird

Ooooh, I have many random facts!  Most of them are biology related, though.

Fact: Humans are the only animal that drink milk as adults.  Actually, humans are the only animals that can drink milk as adults.  We retain our ability to use lactase while all other mammals lose that ability as they mature.

I wish I was more awake to fully go into the recesses of my mind to pull something, but I can't. Instead, I'll provide this.
