So many popular perfumes contain musk, but the origins of this scent will shock you. Musk is a reddish-brown secretion from the "musk pod" of the male musk deer. It is such a popular ingredient that it is even mentioned in Kabir’s poems. However, since its popularity encouraged the hunting of this endangered deer, its scent is now replicated synthetically.

You may encourage a timid cat to come out of her shell and play by giving her catnip. Catnip spray may be used to rejuvenate toys that your cat may be neglecting in order to persuade your cat to play with them again. Catnip might help your cat become more interested in a scratching post. If your cat has gone through a difficult period, a session with catnip will help her relax and blow off steam.

While the Alien franchise swaps in different androids for (almost) every installment, there is an interesting consistency to them: they go in alphabetical order. Ash, Bishop, Call, and, most recently, David (played by Michael Fassbender in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant).

It can be difficult to figure out how to avoid dust mites, but a good place to start is by examining your surroundings and the areas of your home where you spend the majority of your time. The best place to start is always your bedroom because it can be a haven for many dust mites. Making dust mites' habitat less hospitable is the best way to combat them. You will therefore need bedding that keeps you cool, dry, and moisture-free.

Santa Claus did not always wear red robes. He used to dress in green, purple, or blue clothes, and this was a long-standing tradition at the North Pole. It was the company Coca Cola that decided to dress him in red in order to match their brand colour, which had a red background.

There are quite a few landmarks around the Harvard campus. The most famous one is known as the statue of three lies. It’s called so to account for its three inaccuracies. The sculpture states that it is of John Harvard, the founder of Harvard and that Harvard was founded in 1638. However, John Harvard was not the founder of the university, he was the first major benefactor. Also, Harvard was founded in 1636 and not 1638. What’s more? The sculpture isn’t of John Harvard at all, but that of some unknown student.
 

Boys do not have the same innate tendency for reflection that girls do. Don't get me wrong: males of all ages have the ability to reflect on their behaviours, values, and lives (as they get older), but they need the right environment to do so. Boys can let their thoughts wander around inside their heads during quiet and down time. It also helps them get to know, and even like, themselves. Boys often think best on their own, so they tend to retreat to their caves (bedrooms) when things go wrong at school or in their relationships. They must look within themselves to find their own solution.

Even though no one knows when yoghurt was discovered, the name "yoghurt" is unmistakably Turkish. However, we do know that fermented milk has been utilised since prehistoric times.

A Chinese empress is said to have discovered silk in the past, and for thousands of years, it was a closely guarded state secret.

At a time when it was considered impolite to show a toilet being flushed on screen, Alfred Hitchcock saw an opportunity to add even more shock to his already shocking film by presenting a scrap of paper that proves to be an important clue, failing to flush in a toilet. The clue in the book was an earring discovered in the bathroom, but Hitchcock changed it to a piece of paper found in the toilet, partly to give viewers a surprise.

The blue whale is the world's largest living creature, dwarfing even the largest dinosaurs. Blue whales can grow to be over 100 feet long and weigh more than 100 tonnes. Their hearts are the size of a small car and can weigh up to 1,300 pounds. Blue whales have massive arteries that pump blood through their massive hearts and into their vital organs, which is unsurprising. These arteries are so large that a fully grown human could swim through them; however, you should not attempt this.

Knowing that there was a "year without summer" two centuries ago can make you enjoy our pleasant, bright weather a little more, according to USA Today. The entire world witnessed a dip in temperature as well as other winter-like circumstances, such as snow in June and frost in August, in 1816 following a huge volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia that produced enough dust, ash, and sulfur dioxide to partially veil the Earth's atmosphere.

Have you ever thought of a dance move of a bee? If no then you should know that they have a dance move called 'waggle dance.' However, it's not actually a dance move but a way of their communication to tell their nestmates where to go to find the best food source. And this discovery took two years of the researchers at Sussex University to decode this waggle dance.
