Gelatin (or gelatine, from Latin: gelatus = stiff, frozen) is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless solid substance, derived from collagen obtained from various animal by-products.
Why we eat it I have no idea.

A healthy man constantly produces 1500 brand new sperm in his testicles PER SECOND !!!!! and when he ejaculates, he lets fly with 250,000,000 of the little buggers.

Only one of the 250 million would produce you. Any of the others would have produced someone quite different.
And that's just PART of the odds against your existence.

Yes! And their hairs are actually clear. Each hair has a hollow core that improves the insulating abilities of the fur, and actually helps bring warm light down to the skin's surface, like a hair-fiber-optic.

In zoos, the bears sometimes turn greenish-brown from algae.
Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead.
There are way more dead people, and you're all gonna die
and then you're gonna be dead for way longer than you're alive.
Like that's mostly what you're ever gonna be.
You're just dead people that didn't die yet.

If you could mark every molecule of water in a cup, poured it out somewhere, waited for many thousands of years for it to mix evenly with all the water on this globe and then scooped up a sample with a same-sized cup, you'll find 2000 of the molecules you poured out all that time ago again.
