Why do some moose run when they hear a human baby cry? Why do we almost always forget what we wanted to do when we walk through a door? And who stole Queen Victoria’s panties? These and other questions, oddly enough, have answers.
Today the awesome.club will tell you 11 strange facts about our world. Check it out and let us know if you’ve heard of anything similar.
1. When Moose Hear a Baby Cry They Run to Help
It all happens because the cry of a human baby falls into the same range of frequencies as the cry of a baby moose. This happens to many mammals. When we hear the cry of a newborn (baby, dog or cat) an alert area awakens in our brain, making our instinct want to help.
It is worth mentioning that the siren of an ambulance or a police car has the same effect, so we feel a kind of sense of responsibility when we listen.
2. Why do we always forget what we were going to do when crossing the front door?
As psychologists say: crossing a door activates the boundaries of events, which helps us separate one set of memories from another.
When we cross a door, the brain sends some thoughts that were born elsewhere to the ‘archive’, freeing up space for the impressions of the new space. Thanks to the ‘event frontier’, we can ‘change channels’ to carry out new tasks and better organize information.
3. Crows know justice better than humans
Crows almost always take actions together and share food so that everyone gets the same share. If they see that someone has taken more, they lose confidence in the deceiver and stop collaborating with him.

According to research, upon hearing this, Julius Caesar was very angry, as he thought it was worth much more, and forced the pirates to ask for 1,550 kg of silver.
While the Romans collected money, he played games with the pirates, sang songs and treated them as his subordinates. Nevertheless, despite these manifestations of ‘friendship’, he warned the kidnappers that as soon as he was released, he would return and execute them. The pirates didn’t believe it, but Caesar did just that. He gathered a fleet, returned to the island where he had been held ‘imprisoned’, executed the pirates and took back his silver.
