1. Trilobites living up to 541 million years ago in what is now Australia may have been the first-ever cannibals. 2. If you typed for eight hours a day at a rate of 60 words per minute, it would still take you about 50 years to type the entire human genome. 3. If the sun suddenly blew up, we wouldn't know until 8 minutes and 20 seconds after the fact, since that's how long it takes or sunlight to reach earth.
