Joseph Stalin had a secret lab that analyzed the poop of foreign leaders in order to build their psychological profiles. 

The idea was that traces of compounds in feces could reflect a person’s psychology, like high levels of tryptophan, which might imply calmness and approachability, or a lack of potassium, which could indicate nervousness. Stalin even reportedly refused an agreement with China’s Mao Zedong after reading an analysis of his poo.

Inspired by a similar plan in Canada, police in the UK gave out free lollipops at the door of a nightclub to reduce rowdiness after closing time. 

The idea was that drunken, late-night clubbers wouldn’t be inclined to shout or cause a disturbance while they were sucking on them. It worked.

Your body is younger than you. 

No matter how old you are, most of your body is less than 10 years old, because your cells are always recycling themselves. 

The epidermis recycles every 2-4 weeks, red blood cells are replaced every 4 months, and your skeleton turns over every 10 years.
