Did you know that "serendipity," one of the British's favorite words, is derived from "Serendip," the Arab and Persian names for Sri Lanka? The English writer Horace Walpole coined the term in 1754, based on the title of a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip, in which the princes "were perpetually making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in pursuit of." Sri Lanka is known as the "Land of Serendipity" for a reason: it has unspoiled beaches, timeless ruins, wonderful wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes.

Your digestive tract contains many beneficial bacteria, but taking a probiotic supplement (live or dried bacteria) is unlikely to give them a boost.

The reason is that these beneficial bacteria are mostly in your large intestine or bowel. Probiotic supplements will rarely survive the acid and churning of the stomach or the detergents and enzymes of the small intestine.

The legend of the Chupacabra began in Puerto Rico in 1995 after a series of attacks on livestock occurred. The animals appeared to be drained of blood with puncture wounds around the neck, but the deaths were never explained.

The tale of the Chupacabra eventually spread to other parts of Latin America and even to the United States. It is still widely believed to be true.

The Korean alphabet is known as Hangul. King Sejong the Great designed it in the 15th century. Koreans have previously employed the Chinese alphabet and characters (called Hanja).

This equates to 533.76 lipsticks. Of course, for some women, this number is far too high (or far too low), which is why it is only an average — it varies by country and culture.

Quantum mechanics explains how atoms, molecules, and other fundamental particles interact. Einstein's theory of general relativity, on the other hand, helps to explain how things work on a large scale. But there's a problem: these two branches of physics don't seem to fit together. While much work has been done to address this issue, it remains one of the most difficult problems in modern physics.

The head, neck, body, and tail are the four main sections of the pancreas. The head, also referred to as the duodenum, is the part of the small intestine that is the widest. The head is typically the area that is affected when a pancreatic tumour is present.

An intriguing truth about the spine is that when you feel significant pain, such as banging your palm against a door, your body will remember it as well as your brain. For a few days, the neurons in your spinal cord send pain signals to the nerves in your wounded hand. As a result, your hand will be more sensitive, and even little touches will elicit an uncomfortable and unwanted sensation. This occurs because your spine stores a memory of pain. Furthermore, because your spine has a long memory, you should treat and care for it from an early age. Control your posture, exercise, and stretch your back muscles to ensure your spinal cord's long-term health.

Doctors frequently misdiagnosed sick patients, which was common in 17th century England. Alice Blunden is one such example. After she drank sedatives, a doctor mistakenly declared her dead, and she was buried alive. This terrifying ordeal occurred not once, but twice. After exhuming her and discovering she was near death, they buried her again, only for her to struggle in the casket, still alive, until she died.

Long before renowned Muppeteer Frank Oz used animatronics and puppetry to create Yoda, the goal was to recruit an actual actor... a simian actor, that is. They planned to put up a real monkey in a Yoda suit and mask, according to The Making of Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back. There are pictures of the monkey in training as well as a rather awful Yoda mask prototype. Fortunately, a crew member who had previously worked on 2001: A Space Odyssey pointed out that the monkeys used in that film's introduction were a major pain, which convinced Empire's creators to dismiss their Yoda monkey.

Halloween evolved from the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the Celtic calendar year in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man.

Wiccans continue to celebrate Samhain as a New Year's Eve celebration today.
