In the town of Zentsuji in southern Japan, watermelons are grown in glass boxes to form cube-shaped melons. The square or cube-shaped melons are easier to transport, stack, and store, but they cost twice as much as a naturally formed watermelon. Not exactly a square deal!

Squirrels, not wolves, make use of infrared signals, not rays. Squirrels pump blood into their tails to create infrared signals or hot spots to trick heat-seeking snakes into striking their tail, not the center of their body. Very squirrelly!
