There are things that, once you learn, you cannot unlearn. Things that go and hide in the little crevices of your head and come out to play and haunt you on those sleepless nights when thoughts begin to wander.
If I have to know them, you do too. And if you're a real glutton for punishment, here are even more disturbing facts for you.
1.
Before you die, your last words could be, "I don't feel so good." I was a paramedic for 15 years and heard dozens of people's final words. The phrase I heard most often, possibly from half to three quarters of them, were some form of "I don't feel so good." I've also heard, "Wait, somethings wrong." "Somethings happening." "I don't feel right." "Wait, somethings wrong." "It's happening." "Oh no, Oh no." People feel the blood leaving their brain I think. Must be like a rush.

4.
On Mt. Everest, you have the rainbow valley, the last zone to climb to reach the peak. Which sounds cute but it's really the colorful jackets of dead climbers who are frozen in time against the white harsh snow.

When whales reach a certain age they will eventually be to weak to swim back to the surface for air. So they will just suffocate to death and eventually sink to the bottom of the ocean. But at least when they sink to the bottom of the ocean their bodies will create sprawling ecosystems that will last for a good few years.:)

Your eyes take time to adjust to the dark, so if the plane were to crash your eyes would be pre-adjusted, thus increasing your likelihood of being able to make it out.
