Useless Facts

My jeopardy team is prepping for the big game. Our strategy is to circulate 1 useless fact a day.
Here is what we have so far:

UF #1: Did you know guinea pigs and rabbits don't sweat?
UF #2: Did you know that a banana isn't a fruit? Rather it is the worlds biggest spice!
UF #3: The volume of the Earth's moon is the same as the volume of
the Pacific Ocean
UF#4: Canada is a native word meaning "big village" (yes, I did not
know this)
UF #5: If you keep a goldfish in a dark room, it will eventually turn white.
UF #6: The term "nerd" was coined by Dr. Suess in 'If i ran the zoo'
UF#7: The word Pinocchio is Italian for "pine eye"
