A certain species of fish living in northern North America has a pouch that exists just behind its head. Only a few days after death, the pouch explodes, scattering the fish's head across the lake floor. Interestingly, we have several fossils of these fish, which indicates that they were fossilized within three days.

You will only ever see our U.S. President wear a red or blue tie. When he is wearing a blue tie, it is to give off a sense that he is down-to-earth and understanding. When he is wearing a red tie, it is to give him an air of authority and confidence. He will never be seen wearing a yellow tie, which would subliminally imply that he does not take his job seriously.
This is why:
The color blue is soothing to people. It physically calms humans.
The color red has the opposite effect. It raises our blood-pressure and makes us take things more seriously.
The color yellow is a happy color. It makes people feel a little more light-hearted.
