While Bali is the name of the island, it is also the name of a province that encompasses a group of smaller islands off the southeast coast of the main island. These include Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan, a group of much smaller islands about a 20-minute boat trip from Sanur. They are still relatively unknown, and tourism is just just getting started, so it is well worth a visit.

Kimchi did not contain chilli prior to the 17th century because chilli had not yet arrived in Korea! The Americas are where hot chilies originated. In the early 1600s, they were brought to Korea by western merchants. Koreans embraced them and included them into their kimchis. Indeed, gochugaru (or chilli powder pepper) and its vibrant red hue are now required ingredients in kimchi. This pepper has a delicious, smokey, and rich flavour.

The first McDonald's drive-thru was erected in a restaurant in Sierra Vista, Arizona, near the military post of Fort Huachuca. Military regulations prohibited soldiers from wearing their uniforms in public, and they weren't about to change into civilian clothes just to grab a burger and rush back to base, so restaurant manager David Rich devised a solution: cut a hole in the wall so that military personnel could pick up their orders without having to exit their vehicle. The idea soon gained popularity due to its ease and simplicity.

Because they are so tiny, it is difficult to estimate the population of fairyflies (Mymaridae). One can only speculate on a species' population because new species are still being discovered.

Sound waves can be recorded and transmitted to a digital signal, which has a specific pattern of the required sound waves in a digital series that can be stored on a digital tape, CD, or computer system. When you play the signal, the digital pattern is converted back into sound waves. Although analogue sound recordings produce an exact copy of the desired sound wave pattern, making many copies of the original records can introduce extra noise and distort the unique pattern. However, digital records only have a pattern of numbers that you may replicate and correct as needed without any distortion. As a result, digital sound recording is always preferable to analogue recording.

Some lizards, such as the Chameleon and the Anole, can change colors. It is unknown what causes this color shift, although it is thought to be significantly impacted by their surroundings or the presence of other lizards!

He did not write about relativity in the same way that Einstein did. But Galileo realised that motion is relative—that your impression of motion is affected by both your own movement and the movement of the thing you're looking at. Indeed, if you were imprisoned inside a windowless cabin aboard a ship, you would have no means of knowing whether the ship was immobile or travelling at a constant speed. These concepts would be food for thought for the youthful Einstein more than 250 years later.

Lincoln was a certified bartender in addition to being a wrestling champion. In 1833, the 16th President opened Berry and Lincoln, a saloon in New Salem, Illinois, with his friend William F. Berry. Berry, an alcoholic, eventually forced the shop's closure after consuming the majority of its stock.

Consistently on the late spring solstice, a special ball game is played at the Growden Remembrance Park known as the 12 PM Sun Game. The game took place in Fairbanks, Alaska, and because the Sun was out for almost 24 hours on the solstice, there was no artificial lighting from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The custom started in 1906 and has been played consistently beginning around 1960 by The Frozen North Goldpanners.

If you already knew everything about butterflies up to this point, this information may come as a surprise. However, from the perspective of the butterfly, it isn't all that unusual. A butterfly's everyday duties include eating and mating, both of which necessitate landing, even if only temporarily. When food is a priority, those taste receptors assist the butterfly in locating the appropriate plants and vital nutrients for survival. Many people wonder what it means when a butterfly lands on them, but the truth is that it is most likely just hungry.

Ella Slack is of comparable height and size as the queen, thus she will perform a rehearsal before major events to eliminate royal annoyances such as the sun getting in Her Majesty's eyes.

Beggars' Night was held the night before Halloween in Des Moines for young children. According to a Des Moines Register article, the event began around 1938 as a way to prevent vandalism and provide a safer way for younger children to celebrate Halloween. Beggars' Night is similar to trick-or-treating in that children are required to tell a joke, read a poem, or perform a "trick" in exchange for a treat.

This one might not come as much of a surprise as Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t known for his drawing abilities. What might raise an eyebrow is a stand-in who drew the picture was the actual director of Titanic, James Cameron. Well known for his artistic side, Cameron is the one who drew Kate Winslet. The only problem is he and Leo write with different hands, so they had to use a mirror image of the actual shot in the movie to keep the continuity.

Walt Disney may have been the first to put gloves on his characters, as shown in Mickey Mouse's 1929 film The Opry House. Aside from being simpler to animate, Disney chose gloves for another reason: “We didn't want Mickey to have mouse hands because he was meant to be more human,” Disney told his biographer in 1957.

If you or someone you know has ever quit smoking with nicotine gum, you can thank Sweden. Nicorette, the first product, was created by Leo AB in Helsingborg. It was inspired by the fact that while on duty, smoking Swedish submariners would switch from tobacco to chewing tobacco or snus to get their nicotine fix. Nicorette wasn't the first time nicotine was placed in chewing gum, but they did design a polymer that regulated the flow of nicotine into the bloodstream, allowing for a continuous release and a gradual withdrawal, allowing millions of people to stop for good.

Most people have heard of and are familiar with the Venus flytrap. However, few people are aware that Venus flytraps may produce flowers. Venus flytrap traps are not flowers; they have merely modified leaves that adapt to catch bugs. Venus flytraps develop multiple bloom stalks in the spring. Flower stems develop into flower bunches. The blooms are white with green veins that run across the petals. The blooms are unimpressive. Growers of Venus flytraps may still fertilise them and harvest their seeds.
