    Did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible! Speaking of longevity, the oldest known living organism is a tree named Methuselah, a bristlecone pine in California that's over 4,800 years old! Here’s a fun one: octopuses have three hearts! Two pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Lastly, there’s a phenomenon called 'chocolatophobia' – the fear of chocolate! This sweet treat also contains antioxidants, making it not just delicious but beneficial. Who knew learning could be so tasty and weird?
