The Statue of Liberty wasn't always green — it began shiny brown. Its skin is copper, so in 1886 it gleamed a coppery hue. Sea air, salt and pollution oxidized it into a blue-green patina, complete by about 1920. The patina isn't damage; it shields the metal.

Pure water is an insulator. Electricity passes through water not because of the water itself, but because of dissolved ions. Tap water conducts electricity well because it contains ions like chlorine from disinfection.

Pufferfish venom blocks sodium channels in nerves, while monkshood venom activates them. Because the two poisons work in opposite ways, taking them together delays their effects. In 1986, a murderer in Japan exploited this principle to delay the time of death and fabricate an alibi.

Seasonings slow food spoilage not by killing microorganisms, but by stealing their water. Salt and spice molecules bind with free water in food, lowering its 'water activity.' Even if water is present, microbes cannot use it.

The Octopus's blood is blue, not red. Human blood is red because the iron-based protein Hemoglobin carries its oxygen; in octopuses that job falls to Hemocyanin, a Copper-based protein. Hemocyanin turns blue when it binds oxygen, and carries it better in the cold, low-oxygen sea.
