FUN FACT FOR YOU:Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!

Trees weren't always biodegradable. Today, bacteria and fungi eat away at fallen trees, but that wasn't always the case. Bacteria had to evolve to eat wood, so hundreds of millions of years go, trees would fall at death, leaving large piles of dead wood. Forest fires of unimaginable proportions would burn the massive mounds of dead wood. And that's where most of the coal today on Earth came from, according to National Geographic.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Belgian Farmers currently facing a 750,000-ton surplus of potatoes, and the government has come up with a creative solution to ensure the vegetables don’t go to waste: Encourage everyone to eat more frites. Lockdown measures in the country have crippled restaurants, and in turn farmers are feeling the heat, too, with nowhere to sell their produce. However, frites, a twice-fried snack sometimes paired with mussels or topped with mayonnaise, is considered a national dish of Belgium, and many snack bars where they’re sold have been given special permission to stay open. The Department of Agriculture hopes that Belgians venture out of the house to eat frites (at a safe distance from their countrymen) twice a week instead of just once in order to aid efforts to deplete overflowing potato stocks.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com

A New Jersey electrical contractor is being charged with theft and conspiracy after swiping up to 1,600 respirator masks intended for a state hospital fighting the Coronavirus outbreak. Kevin Brady, of Point Pleasant Beach, is accused of stealing eight cases of the N95 masks from the Prudential Financial building in Iselin between March 27th and April 1st, the office of state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said Thursday. “Prudential Financial had intended to donate the masks to a local hospital,” the office said in a statement, adding that each case had 200 masks each. Officials said 49-year-old Brady was able to obtain the masks because he had access to storage areas in the Prudential Financial facility. He was caught after multiple law enforcement agencies acted on a tip from the National Hoarding & Price-Gouging Task Force led by New Jersey U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito. (https://fxn.ws/2RZeQZi)
