I've learned some random facts from watching Detective Conan. What have you guys learn?
(I'll add to the list as people post).
1) How to kill someone in 500 different ways.
1) The reason doctors/nurses wear green when doing surgery (or other blood related operations) is because it helps refresh vision after looking at red for too long.
2) Fireflies have undeveloped mouths and can only ingest water. So they die after they use up all the nutrients they got as larvae.
3) You aren't suppose to use cellphones in designated hospital areas because it interferes with the equipment.
4) Potassium cyanide smells like almonds/ How to identity cyanide poisoning.
5) Potassium chloride is used to make the heart stop in lethal injection.
6) 110 is the equivalent of 911 in Japan.
7) Sakura is the symbol of the police in Japan
8] Blood is always red due to the hemoglobin. The misconception that blood turns blue with lack of oxygen is because looking at the veins through your skin make it APPEAR that way. Blood is bright red when it is oxygenated and dark red when it is deoxygenated. This is why when doctors draw blood from your vein it is dark red (due to it not having time to interact with oxygen), as opposed to when you cut yourself and the blood is bright red.
9) Leukemia is treated with blood transfusions.
10) Napoleon's wife is Josephine and Napoleon's motto is "The word 'impossible' is not in my dictionary."
11) Rigor mortis is temporary stiffness of joints and muscular rigidity occurring after death, and the time it takes for rigor mortis to occur.
12) TTX is poison from puffer fish and it causes muscle paralysis which can be dangerous and deadly.
