Despite the look of these primates in films like King Kong, they are not nearly as fearsome as their appearance suggests. Gorillas are highly gentle and live in groups. They just consume plants. Despite their benign demeanor, humans must exercise caution around gorillas because they are considerably stronger than humans and could endanger a person's life if the gorilla feels threatened.

The official language of Vatican City is Italian, which is used for all official issues. Although Italian is the lingua franca, the Holy See utilises Latin as its official language. The Vatican is also regarded as the de facto keeper of the Latin language. So it may not come as a surprise that the Vatican Bank's ATM provides instructions in Latin.

Ancient trumpets made of silver and bronze have been discovered in Egyptian graves, and similar instruments have also been discovered in Scandinavia, Asia, and South America. The earliest trumpets, however, were used for military and religious purposes rather than for musical performance, so this does not imply that King Tut was playing in a jazz band.

Stuart Sutcliffe, a Scottish painter and bassist, was a founding member of the Beatles when they were only a club act in Hamburg, Germany. He met his fiancée, Astrid Kirchherr, there and decided to stay to be with her. Only a year later, he died of a cerebral haemorrhage at the age of 21. Meanwhile, his former comrades went on to become some of the most famous artists in history. Many others, including producer George Martin, public relations manager Derek Taylor, and road manager Neil Aspinall, have been dubbed the "Fifth Beatle" throughout the years.

The English parliament was so outraged by lipstick, of all things, that they attempted to outlaw it in 1650, citing the compulsion of painting, wearing black patches, and women's immodest attire. That endeavor was a failure. However, Britain did effectively outlaw lipstick in 1770. According to the legislature, women were duping men into marriage by using lipstick and other cosmetics. Parliament successfully linked lipstick to witchcraft and promised to annul any marriages caused by lipstick. Let's be real. You wouldn't have to apply lipstick as frequently if it were a type of witchcraft.

A fun fact is that Galileo and Shakespeare were both born in the same year (1564). The English dramatist was reaching the end of his career when Galileo pointed his telescope to the night sky. But he wasn't quite ready to lay down his pen: his late drama Cymbeline contains what might be a reference to one of Galileo's most important discoveries—the four moons around Jupiter. The deity Jupiter descends from the skies in the last act, and four ghosts dance in a circle around him. It may be a coincidence, or, as I argue in my book The Science of Shakespeare, it could be intentional.

During the four days of the Chhath puja, the body's functioning is enhanced, and a shift occurs in the entire bodily system. The Puja celebration also aids in the development of strong intuition and telepathy.

Catnip causes enthusiasm in the majority of cats. Your cat may appear agitated, racing about and pouncing on objects. Cats' eyes dilate in numerous conditions. Of course, your cat may react differently, but many cats become more talkative and lively.

Speaking of wings, we may have purposefully saved the most fascinating butterfly information for last! Butterflies have four distinct wings, regardless of how they appear in motion or in drawings or paintings. The wings closest to its head are known as the forewings, while those farther back are known as the hindwings. During the flight, all four wings move up and down in a figure-eight pattern due to the strong muscles in the butterfly's thorax.

Humans and slugs have a lot more in common than you may assume at first appearance. Our DNA is 70 percent identical to slug DNA. All creatures, like plants, have a common ancestor a long time ago: the DNA of a person and a banana is 50 percent same. As a result, a human is half a banana or 40% cucumber. To some extent, all living organisms on Earth are related — this just means that our evolution took a different course at some point in time.

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.
