It has been alleged that Hitler had monorchism, the medical condition of having only one testicle. Hitler's personal doctor, Johan Jambor, supposedly described the dictator's condition to a priest who later wrote down what he had been told in a document which was uncovered in 2008, 23 years after the doctor's death.

Soviet doctor Lev Bezymensky, allegedly involved in the Soviet autopsy, stated in a 1967 book that Hitler's left testicle was missing. Bezymensky later admitted that the claim was falsified. Hitler was routinely examined by many doctors throughout his childhood, military service and later political career, and no clinical mention of any such condition has ever been discovered. Records do show he was wounded in 1916 during the Battle of the Somme, and some sources do describe his injury as a wound to the groin.

Wikipedia you've done it again!

An ion is an atom with up to three more or less electrons than the normal. The number of electrons it gains or loses is determined by how many electrons it needs to gain or lose to have a full outer shell.
While, in theory, it is possible to add or take more than three electrons, it doesn't tend to go well.

The number of electrons a non-ionic atom has is the same as the proton number.

To find the neutron number of an atom, you deduct the proton number from the atomic mass number.

DNA is located inside the nucleus of a cell.

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.

DNA is a double helix, while RNA is a single helix.

RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.

The laws of physics change depending on where you are in the universe. However the amount of change is incredibly slight over massive distances.

The laws of physics are stupid. You drop something and gravity pulls it down to the ground. What's up with that? (no pun intended)

All mass has a gravitational pull to some extent.

Sorry they're all science facts. I'm in the middle of my unit 2 exams (even though a lot of these facts aren't even mentioned on the papers) XD

The star Betelgeuse could go supernova next year, meaning you could see two suns during the day (ooh, sci-fiy!) or you'd have no night (as it'd light up the sky so bright it'd look like day)

or it could go in the next 35243265443 years

[MOP]

^But wouldn't it take many years for the light to reach us? Or do think it might have gone super nova already, a long time ago and now we might see the effects? I want two suns now.
(Much love for the dance hog by the way.)
