There was a study done on dreams decades ago that showed before the Advent of colour TV, people used to dream in black and white. Though the prevailing theory is that they dreamt in colour before black and white TV too!

Naked mole rats are more or less impervious to cancer. Its almost as if they forgot they were a mammal.
