Norway’s reality TV is very different. Although reality TV in the U.S. is saturated with Kardashian-brand drama, it’s very different in Norway. Norway’s first significant “reality” TV show was a broadcast showing the Bergen Line. About 20% of the population watched the train for its entire 7-hour journey.

Starfish eat with their stomachs outside their body. Starfish may not have brains, but they’ve got a hell of a stomach. Mostly feeding on clams and mussels, the starfish wraps its arms around its prey’s shell and squeezes it open. The starfish then pushes its stomach out of its mouth and into the prey’s shell. Once it digests the animal inside the shell, the starfish will retract its stomach back into its body. Who knew these innocent-looking sea creatures were so hardcore?
