Cows can't see red. The adage that bulls charge when they see the color red is simply not true. The color doesn't make them angry; in fact, cows are colorblind by human standards and don't even have a retina receptor that can process red hues. To a raging bull, a bright red cape just looks like a dull yellowish gray. When a matador convinces a bull to charge, it is likely the movement of the waving flag or cape that elicits the response, not the color.

Fun fact of the day: Sound can be minus decibels. The quietest place on Earth is Microsoft’s anechoic chamber in Redmond, WA, at -20.6 decibels. These anechoic chambers are built out of heavy concrete and brick and are mounted on springs to stop vibrations from getting in through the floor.
Did you know? Only six of all the World Cups have been won by the host country.
