The human brain has about 100,000,000,000 neurons and there are 1,000 to 10,000 synapses (connections) for each of these neurons. These synapses can transmit about 10 impulses per second, which works out at a maximum limit of 10 quadrillion synapse operations per second!

This did blow my mind, but looking it up her wiki says her grandmother's sister married a Rothschild. So Helena Bonham Carter is not a Rothschild herself, but perhaps a cousin of some degree.

Generations should probably be closer to 30 years each, as that is about the time the next generation is produced.

Grasshoppers turn into Locusts.

Locusts are the "swarming phase" of the Grasshopper life cycle, which only occurs under suitable drought conditions followed by rapid vegetation growth, and is caused by an increase in serotonin that dramatically changes the Grasshoppers behaviour.

The praying mantis is the only insect that can turn its head. It's also the only one that knows kung fu.
