Charlotte's book, Jane Eyre, was the first to be published even though she was the last to find a publisher. A few months later, Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights were published. There was a persistent rumor that Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights were written by the same person:

Don't be concerned if your apartment building lacks the fourth level. The number four is frequently omitted because it sounds like the word 'death' in Chinese, making it an unlucky number. The lucky number eight, on the other hand, indicates wealth.

Nitrocellulose, also known as guncotton, is the main ingredient in regular nail polish. It's made of plant fibre and is what causes TNT to explode. (Don't worry; it's also found in ping pong balls.) Ethyl acetate is used to dissolve the nitrocellulose. When you apply the nail polish to your nail, the solvent evaporates, leaving the nitrocellulose to dry into a solid (and pretty!) film.

Malta is quickly becoming one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, thanks to its warm climate, diverse adventure zones, architectural and historical landmarks - including three UNESCO World Heritage Sites and seven megalithic temples.

A food allergen is a kiwi. A sore throat, runny nose, and itchy eyes are possible side effects for people allergic to kiwis. People who experience severe allergic reactions may have trouble breathing or develop hives. People allergic to latex or pollen are more likely to react allergically to kiwis.

"We don't really know who first came up with the idea for looking at things in nature and divining influences on humans," NASA astronomer Sten Odenwald told Time. "There's some indication that cave art shows this idea that animals and things can be imbued with some spirit form that then influences you, and if you appease that spirit form, then you will have a successful hunt. That was taken over by the idea of divination, where you can actually look at things in nature and study them carefully, such as tea-leaf reading."

This seed is encased in a poisonous, kidney-shaped shell. Anacardic Acid, the poison, is identical to the toxin found in poison ivy. This oily substance irritates the skin, generating an allergic reaction. Because of the poisonous chemical on the shell, cashew nuts are not sold in their shells like peanuts.

The Secret History of the Mongols claims that because Mongolian dogs were vicious and notorious for attacking common people, Khan was terrified of them.

One of the lesser-known statistics is that Mexicans are the hardest working people on the planet, with the average resident working 2,148 hours each year, or 41.3 hours per week!

In a country that’s famous for its windmills, it’s no surprise there are over 1,000 windmills spread across the Netherlands. 

The windmills traditionally harnessed the wind for a variety of purposes, such as grinding grain and draining wetlands, but there are only a few still in commercial operation. 

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kinderdijk is the best place to see Dutch windmills, with 19 traditional windmills.

The Dussehra celebration is known as Golu in Tamil Nadu. The idols are designed to portray a variety of scenes from their culture and heritage. Legend has it that all other Gods and Goddesses gave their powers to Goddess Durga because she needed them so much. As a result, they became motionless like statues.

Glassblowing is a disappearing art form. There is just no demand for blown glass today due to the rise of mass production. Really, it's a shame because blown glass is so exquisite and distinctive. No two pieces are exactly the same because each is entirely handmade. Only a few glass-blowing studios are in existence, and even fewer artists are skilled at blowing glass. 

Amaltas is used to ease pain in those who have trouble passing urine and can only do it with effort. It makes it easier for them to urinate. The root of the cassia fistula tree should be made into a paste by soaking it in water overnight. Every morning, combine this with ghee and eat it. Your anxiety will subside as a result. This is a powerful cassia fistula medicinal use.

Consider speeding to 100 mph and returning to zero in less than four seconds. If you have a cardiac issue, you may not live. The sensation is similar to being pressed by an invisible force. In such a circumstance, breath control is critical, and F1 drivers must go through many drills to prepare for G-Force. Formula 1 vehicles are capable of such a feat because they must sharply stop while approaching curves and then accelerate swiftly, as it is a race against time. When the drivers are subjected to force, their stamina and overall physical condition are tested.

Sweden has a population of around 10.3 million people. That is nearly double the population of Norway! It is also significantly larger than Denmark, the other Scandinavian nation, which has a population of about 5.8 million people.

People used to eat arsenic to improve their skin. You've probably heard about how arsenic was found in many of the Victorians' favourite cosmetics, but it gets worse. There were also edible products on the market in the late 1800s, such as Dr. James P. Campbell's Safe Arsenic Complexion Wafers. They advertised that they could remove freckles, blackheads, and other "facial disfigurements." That has to be one of the most intriguing facts you've learned in a long time.

Astronauts who return from space are 3% taller than when they left. Because of the lack of gravity, they are taller, and their cartilage discs expand in microgravity. You stand higher in the morning because your spine has been free of gravity's downward pull for 8 hours. The rest also allows your spinal disc cartilage to plump up, making you taller!

College basketball is still one of the most popular sports, but many remember the 1979 NCAA tournament game between Michigan State and Indiana State as one of the best-rated events in the sport's history. This game marked the beginning of having basketball greats and NBA stars as a clash between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, who had never played each other before to this tournament.

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.

Lions prefer hunting at night as they have eyes that are adapted to the dark. And these features give them a great advantage over their prey. Lions also prefer hunting during the storms as the noise and wind make it harder for the prey to hear or see them, and hence they can easily attack them. A great strategy, isn't it?

Making seven wishes while jumping seven waves is considered good luck, so you can bet on a good old New Year's beach celebration in Rio de Janeiro!

Since nails are not naturally alive, they do not require breathing. However, it's advised to give your nail paint breaks in order to prevent some of the negative side effects of leaving acrylics or nail polish on for an extended period of time.

When you find your dog eating on something he shouldn't, he averts his gaze and assumes a submissive stance. That indicates he recognizes his error and expresses regret, correct? Scientists believe it's unlikely. It's more likely that the behaviors that owners identify with a dog's remorse are a reaction to being reprimanded. They just do not consider their violation as thoroughly as you do.

Women make up about half of the labor force, but they continue to earn much less than men in comparable jobs. That roughly 20% salary disparity has scarcely changed in years. According to the Institute for Women's Policy Research, women earn less than men in practically every occupation where there is enough data to calculate a gender ratio. Even the fact that women are better educated than at any other moment in history, with more women obtaining undergrad and advanced degrees than men, hasn't made a difference. Moreover three-quarters of UK companies pay their male employees more than their female employees, and males earn at least 10% more than women in nine of seventeen industries.
