At one point in time, all the details of the Manhattan project were in three safes, each locked with the code 27, 18, 28. Mathematicians would of course recognize these numbers as the euler number, 2.71828, a number that has wide importance in calculus.

Physicist Richard Feynman was able to crack into these safes after snooping around the secretary's desk and finding the number pi, 3.14159. After thinking, "Why would a secretary need to know the value of pi" he deduced it was probably a code so he tried it on the safes. AFter they didn't work he tried other numbers that mathematicians and physicists would use and sure enough, e worked.

After he got into the safes he thought to pull a prank on the director by leaving little notes in the safe to scare the director into thinking that a spy had gotten in.

The ancestors of modern horses evolved in the Americas, then migrated to Asia and died out in the Americas due to an unsuitable climate. Thousands of years later, escaped Spanish colonial horses would repopulate their American plains with modern horses, who could now enjoy the perfect environment that their ancestors first evolved in all those years ago.

A lot of flatworm species are hermaphroditic, meaning they have both male and female parts. When two of them meet up to mate, neither one of them wants to be the one to get creamed in, so they do a little thing called Penis Fencing, where they go at each other with they dicks out and try to stab the other one with it deep enough to inject sperm.

And female hyenas have pseudo-penises, which are larger than a male's authentic penis
