People found this extremely frustrating because round pencils frequently rolled off surfaces. As a result, the popular hexagonal pencil shape was introduced. People used to use breadcrumbs to erase their mistakes before erasers were invented.

Marie Curie made history in 1903 when she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband, Pierre, and physicist Henri Becquerel for their work on radioactivity, being the first woman to do so. Her second Nobel Prize in chemistry, which she received in 1911, was even more historic: she became the first person to win the prize twice. She is also the first person in history to have received Nobel Prizes in two distinct fields.

Because they generate sound through lip vibration, instruments like conch shells and shofars (made of hollowed-out animal horns) are still regarded as brass. Since they haven't undergone much modification from their original state and don't have valves or slides to regulate pitch, they are frequently referred to as "natural trumpets." Despite being primarily made of brass, other traditional brass instruments like trumpets and trombones may also contain some copper or other metals.

We’re seeing a lower incidence of gastric cancer these days, partly because our diet contains fewer foods that cause cancer (as refrigeration became widespread, we ate fewer smoked and cured meats).

We now also know that H. pylori can cause stomach cancer, but H. pylori are relatively easy to diagnose and treat.

The roots of your teeth are the first to form. They then push the visible part of the tooth, known as the bud, through your gums. Wisdom teeth typically have two to three roots, but they can have more. As a result, if your wisdom teeth need to be extracted, it is easier to do so before the roots take hold. When removing teeth, surgeons prefer to leave some of the roots in place. A root provides them with something to grasp because removing a tiny tooth bud can be difficult.

When the cashew apples mature, they are taken from the tree limb with the seeds still attached. Then the one-of-a-kind harvesting procedure begins. The seed is manually twisted and picked out while still in its shell, then dried and steamed. It must be frozen and cooked after drying before it can be extracted from its shell. Cashews are dried and roasted after harvesting in a long process that removes harmful oils and makes the shell brittle and simple to remove.

Defectors from North Korea sent the nation thousands of USB flash sticks between 2016 and 2017. These flash drives contained a sizable amount of prohibited items, such as Hollywood movies, South Korean soap operas, and world news articles.

Shintoism, unlike Christianity, does not have a distinct sacred scripture written down since it evolved from folk religion and nature worship in tiny communities. Instead, model literature includes "Kojiki," "Nihon Shoki," "Kogo Shuui," and "Senmyou." These manuscripts are known as Shinten. 

According to research. However, scientists will be unable to determine how long lobsters live because traps are not designed to catch the largest lobsters. "When we get a 20-30 pounder, it's because a claw got hooked in the trap's entry, not inside," explains Robert C. Bayer, executive director of The Lobster Institute at the University of Maine.

It's probably pretty simple for you to picture what you think of as an igloo, yet this is not the true definition of the word. The word "igloo" refers to any sort of dwelling, even though some Inuit currently do or have lived in the dome-shaped structures made almost entirely of snow and ice. Consequently, your home, whether it be a chateau in Europe or a studio apartment, is an igloo.

Dr. Bill Keevil revealed that an antibiotic-resistant strain of bacterial aureus could not survive on copper surfaces. They do, however, thrive on platinum metals. This is a common material used in hospital beds, doorknobs, and railings. This study forced hospitals worldwide to adopt copper-touch surfaces. This is an attempt to reduce the spread of bacterial diseases in medical settings.

According to studies, beets' high concentrations of certain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds lower the risk of a variety of malignancies.

As you may have heard, Starbucks offers a generous benefits package to their employees, including providing healthcare to employees who work 20 hours a week or more. In fact, according to Howard Schultz, CEO of the company in 2008, Starbucks spends $300 million annually on healthcare, which is more than what they spend on coffee beans.

The first girls' school was established by Savitribai Phule and her friend Fatima Begum in 1848 at Bhide-Wada in Pune.

The moon used to be a hotspot of volcanic activity. As molten lava from the volcanoes solidified billions of years ago on the lunar surface, it contributed to the formation of distinct craters. NASA stated in 2014 that an Arizona State University team detected "irregular patches" on the moon caused by volcanic eruptions as recently as 50 million years ago. Fortunately, the moon's volcanoes have been dormant since then, so we won't be seeing any eruptions anytime soon.

The 14th Dalai Lama has served as a monk in the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism. He is supposed to be the current incarnation of Tibet's last 13 Dalai Lamas. In 1937, the Tibetan government dispatched a search expedition to find the Dalai Lama. They discovered the current Dalai Lama as a toddler, living with his family in a small agricultural hamlet, based on indications and visions. In 1940, he was appointed as Tibet's official spiritual head. He is now renowned as a spiritual rock star as well as a religious figure, and he is famed for his inspirational words of wisdom.

A fog bow, as the name implies, is a rainbow that appears in fog rather than during rainfall. They are slightly fainter and more difficult to see than rainbows, but you are more likely to see the entire circle of the optical effect. Because fog is made up of smaller water droplets than raindrops, the full spectrum of colours in a fog bow is difficult to distinguish and appears as a bow of faint red and blue.
