The Journal of Experimental Psychology published a study in January 2014 that found babies as young as nine months old recognise that their friends have similar interests.

Lyndon B. Johnson, ever the joker, would surprise guests at his Texas ranch by driving them down the hill in his Amphicar, pretending the brakes had failed. When it struck the lake, their fear would dissipate as they learned the automobile was built to work in water.

The R2-D2 that we all know and love only talks in beeps and whistles, a mechanical language that most of his companions comprehend. However, in the first draught of Star Wars, written in 1974, R2-D2 talked in whole words. Even more concerning, he was not the endearing wuss he would eventually become. He was a bit of a bully, berating his friend C-3PO with taunts such as, "You're a stupid, useless philosopher," and "You're nothing more than a dimwitted, emotion-filled academic." My reasoning systems cannot explain why you were formed." Sheesh, can you please tone it down a notch?

Finding previously unknown organisms in the depths of the ocean may sound like something out of a science fiction horror film, but a 2020 study of a deep-sea volcano near New Zealand, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, uncovered "over 90 putative bacterial and archaeal genomic families and nearly 300 previously unknown genera." Hydrothermal vents, like deep-sea volcanoes, have been connected to the "beginning of life" in certain studies. So, are we seeing the beginnings of future land-dwellers? We'll have to wait and see what happens.

The infamous Taj Mahal in Agra, built by Emperor Shah Jahan, is known to change colour every morning, noon, and midnight.

Persian rugs are beautiful because they resemble works of art. The intricate patterns and designs are one-of-a-kind works of art that are frequently regarded as being undervalued. It is believed that the patterns and colors used are a reflection of ancient Persian culture. Each rug is rich with history.

Here's a great advantage you can point out to make the "breast is best" zealots jealous: researchers at the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge discovered that formula-fed babies cried less, smiled and laughed more, and were easier to calm than breastfeeding babies. The ostensible reason? Breastfeeding is difficult for newborns, and some may not feel up to the endeavour and will fuss. Formula feeders have an easier difficulty filling their stomachs, so it's no surprise they're happier!

We have always heard that life is only possible on the planet Earth. But of all the planets in our solar system except Earth, Mars is most likely to hospitable to life on earth.

It wasn't until the 1920s that the statue was fully unearthed again.
