    Venus spins in the opposite direction of the other planets.

    • Fact

    • Crap

    Correct Answer
    A. Fact
    Explanation
    Venus spins in the opposite direction of all the other planets. This is because most planets in our solar system, including Earth, rotate on their axes in the same direction as they orbit the Sun. However, Venus is an exception as it rotates in the opposite direction. This is known as retrograde rotation. The exact reason for this is still not fully understood, but it is believed to be the result of some past collision or gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.

    • Fact

    • Crap

    Correct Answer
    A. Fact
    Explanation

Despite their size and appearance, pineapples are considered berries botanically because they develop from a single flower with multiple ovaries and have fleshy interiors containing seeds.

However, according to botanical classification, pineapples are indeed classified as berries.

Therefore, the statement that diamonds are indestructible is incorrect.

    Earwax can be used to make candles.

    • Fact

    • Crap

    Correct Answer
    A. Crap
    Explanation
    Earwax cannot be used to make candles. While earwax is a waxy substance produced by the ear, it is not suitable for candle making. Candle wax is typically made from materials such as beeswax or paraffin wax, which have different melting points and properties compared to earwax. Attempting to use earwax as a candle wax substitute would likely result in an ineffective and unpleasant-smelling candle.
