In 1985, a series of fires broke out in England that destroyed various homes and businesses. A group of paintings known as “Crying Boys” were the lone survivors of the fires, and as a result, all of the paintings belonging to the series were thought to be cursed. The original collection, created by painter Bruno Amadio, intended to depict children who had been recently orphaned as a result of World War II. The paintings were mass-produced in England, but everyone who had one sought to destroy theirs after the curse of the fires.

Football is supposed to be a tremendously demanding sport, both emotionally and physically, and aside from goalkeepers, no one has a long professional career. However, some players demolish these assertions with their calibre. Kazuyoshi Miura is a 53-year-old Japanese footballer who plays for Yokohama FC in the Forward position (or the attacking position). Not only that, but he has been playing for the last 34 years, which is the typical age at which players declare their retirement.

Chisinau, occupied by the Red Army in June 1940, was devastated by a severe earthquake in October of that year, measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale and destroying much of the city. As if that wasn't enough, the Luftwaffe arrived the next year and destroyed what was remained the city to smithereens.

Eczema can affect people at any age, even though it typically first manifests before the age of five in its most common form. Some eczema types only manifest in adulthood, while others are more prevalent in elderly people. Eczema Runs in Families.

Over the years, the term "butterscotch" has been used to designate a range of different culinary products, although it most commonly refers to a sort of confectionery or dessert. The name itself is considered to be a mix of the words butter and burn, and it most likely relates to the candy-making process. Sugar and butter are cooked together until they create a thick, sticky slurry to make butterscotch. After that, the fluid is poured into moulds or onto a surface to cool and harden. Butterscotch candies have a smooth, creamy taste that is gently sweet and somewhat salty.

The Lamborghini Winter Academy teaches you how to have fun while driving 5-700 horsepower Lamborghinis over the Alps. During the winter. Nothing except snow and ice covered the ground. Unless you strike anything, it's also pretty cheap.

Although it has been popularly stated that the month was named after the Roman deity Janus, it is really derived from the Latin word "ianua," which means door. The name was selected to represent the opening of a fresh door as the new year begins.

While umbrellas are used and valued by almost everyone who lives in a wet area, they were once thought to be exclusively for women, as they were connected with the stylish parasols ladies would carry on good days to keep the sun off their skin. However, boundaries began to crumble in the mid-eighteenth century, with notable personalities such as benefactor Jonas Hanway using umbrellas at public occasions. Others soon saw the usefulness of the item, and it wasn't long before males were wearing them as frequently as women.

While there are many fanciful elements in the way mobile suits function, such as the Minovsky Particles that fuel them, most of the technology is based on true science. Lagrange points, the O'Neill cylinder, and the usage of Helium-3 as an energy source are instances of this. Other things are technologies that have not yet been developed but appear to be viable with future study.

The legendary elite warriors, also known as the Knights Templars, were given authority of the islands by Charles V of Spain in 1530. They are mainly remembered for successfully defending the island from the Ottomans.

This may come as a surprise given that Eric McCormack (better known as Will from Will & Grace) made headlines when he revealed that he auditioned "two or three times" for Ross. However, because executive producer Kevin Bright had previously worked with Schwimmer, the writers were already developing Ross's character in Schwimmer's voice. Schwimmer was, in fact, the first person to be cast in the show

When it comes to their early applications, Persian rugs served as a way to shield homes from the effects of cold and wet weather. These rugs are now a beautiful work of art for your home's flooring. These rugs are now a luxury rather than a necessity. Persian rugs came to be seen as a sign of wealth as their designs grew more complex and appealing.

Ferrari is no longer a family-owned company. Enzo Ferrari sold half of the firm he controlled outright to rival Italian carmaker Fiat Group in 1969. The transaction provided Ferrari with much-needed capital. Just before his death in 1988, Enzo Ferrari and his son Piero Ferrari sold even more of the firm, leaving the Ferrari family with only 10% control. The parent company of Ferrari is now known as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, according to a recent filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Today, the Ferrari family earns just a small portion of the earnings from Ferrari sales and branded items, which are worth billions of dollars each year.

Centipede is a Latin word that means "hundred legs," but that name is actually quite deceptive. Since centipedes only have one set of legs per body segment and they are always oddly shaped, they can never have exactly 100 legs. Each species of centipede has a different number of legs. Some species only have 15 pairs, while others have 177 pairs!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, as the saying goes, and this proved to be true for a very early design of the mousetrap. Colin Pullinger unveiled his Perpetual Mousetrap in the mid-1800s, claiming that it would last a lifetime. Pullinger could still make that claim more than a century later.Even without bait, the 155-year-old device on display at England's Museum of English Rural Life caught a mouse that snuck into it in 2016. In an attempt to build a nest, the mouse entered the trap and activated the see-saw mechanism. Unfortunately, the rodent did not make it. The perpetual mousetrap, on the other hand, clearly does!

One of the few whale species with unfused cervical neck vertebrae is the beluga. They have highly flexible necks as a result of this, and their heads may move in all directions.

Pirates preferred grog, a concoction of rum, water, lemon juice, and sugar. (Hmmm, I wonder where the inspiration for our rum punch came from?)

Even though eczema is not an allergic reaction, it can become worse when certain environmental factors are present. Knowing what sets off your specific condition can help you avoid flare-ups in the future.

The tropical regions of Africa, Madagascar, and some areas of Asia are where the snake plant originated. The plant is significant to African culture because it represents fertility and good fortune. Others think the plant offers spiritual defence and can ward off malevolent spirits. It also serves as a representation of African deities like the deity of battle.

The world-famous energy drink Red Bull was made in Bangkok by Chaleo Yoovidhya in 1976. He had moved from central Thailand to Bangkok with very little formal education but managed to build a multimillion empire with the help of his Australian business partner Dietrich Mateschitz. At the time of his death in 2012, Yoovidhya was the third richest man in Thailand with an estimated wealth of USD 5 billion. 

However, the syrupy drink he made is quite different from the carbonated version enjoyed across the globe. At some shops in Bangkok, you can find both versions, and decide which one you prefer for yourself.
