We tend to think of apples as being red, though there are, of course, some popular green and yellow varieties. But did you know there are also black apples? Called Black Diamond apples, they're found in Tibet and are from the Hua Niu family of apples, also known as Chinese Red Delicious. Aside from the black outer color—actually an extremely dark shade of purple—these apples look just like other Red Delicious apples, down to the white flesh inside

If you think that you take sports seriously, consider that an estimated four million golfers in Japan make sure that they have hole-in-one insurance before they take a swing, and have been doing so since the first such policy was offered in 1982. Amateur players pay a premium of $65 a year for $3,500 in coverage. The extra cash comes in handy if a golfer nails the impressive feat and is then expected to celebrate by paying for food, drinks, and gifts, which can cost quite a bit.

Cucamelons (or "mouse melons") look like grape-sized watermelons but have a citrus flavor.

Despite being named after an Australian animal, the kangaroo mouse lives in the Nevada desert. And since it resides in such a dry area, it's learned to adapt by getting all of the hydration it needs via the seeds it eats. This means that the kangaroo mouse never drinks water.

Greenland sharks, which are also known as gurry sharks or grey sharks, tend to live long lives. As the longest-living vertebrate on the planet, they can swim around the ocean for up to 400 years and don't reach sexual maturity until they're 150.

While it might look like clams have a big tongue that sometimes protrudes from their shell to poke around the ocean floor, what you're actually seeing is a foot. The appendage, relatively long in comparison to the overall size of the creature, is used to dig in the sand.

Down in Earth's core, there's a stash of gold that sank to its current location when the planet was still in a molten state. In fact, there's so much of the precious metal down there that if it were to cover Earth's surface, it would create a layer that was about 13 inches thick.

I am not buying this one. Would like to see the calculation. 71% of the earth is covered by water.

Let's say only 50% were covered by water. If all that water would result in only one inch of precipitation, then the average depth of all the existing water would be 2 inches.

That means the average depth of water would be even LESS than 2 inches (because in reality, 71% is covered by water. We wouldn't have many boats getting anywhere.

Then again, I have not researched the actual volume of water on earth, so I sure could be wrong.
