Barbie's official birthday commemorates her first public appearance at the American International Toy Fair in New York in 1959. In her black and white striped one-piece, she stood 11 inches tall and was dressed for a pool party. Barbie was instantly recognizable as the only toy in the doll aisle that wasn't modelled after a baby or a small child—having an adult woman as a plaything for children was a novel concept. One thing she lacked at first? A navel button. That was added to her design in 2000, more than 40 years later.

Several studios rejected A New Hope (Episode IV), which was released as Star Wars before 20th Century Fox consented to create it. Despite being intrigued by Lucas' ideas, United Artists rejected him.

In 2012, however, Disney paid $4 billion for the property.

Instead, their anxiety shows up in complaints such as stomach aches, headaches, or behavioral issues like temper tantrums. Other common anxiety symptoms in children include restlessness, inattention, avoidance, and frequent meltdowns. Sadly, these symptoms often get misdiagnosed as ADHD – and then medicated.

"I didn't like the guitar," Lisa Kudrow admitted of Phoebe Buffay's musical instrument of choice. "It wasn't sinking in with me. So I'm pretty sure I asked, 'What if she plays the bongos?'" They eventually brought in a guitar teacher, but that didn't last long. Kudrow learned a couple of chords before declaring that she was finished with the lessons. She reasoned that Phoebe would only know a few chords anyway. And thank goodness, because "Smelly Cat" is perfect as is.

As the adage goes, opposites attract. And research shows that this is partially correct. Couples who are too similar or too different do not last long. Apparently, there must always be a foundation of similarities, but there must also be things that the two of you learn from each other.

Bob Kane created Batman, but it was collaborator Bill Finger who added numerous essential elements that helped him become the iconic hero we know today, such as naming Gotham City, naming him Bruce Wayne, and completely revamping the original costume (a red bodystocking with a domino mask) with pointed ears, a black colour scheme, and a scalloped cape. Yet it wasn't until recently that DC Comics began crediting Finger as a co-creator.

Of course, you adore your nice boy or girl. They, on the other hand, despise it when you give them enormous bear embraces. "How people exhibit love is not the same way a dog shows or wants to receive love," explains Russell Hartstein, CEO of the Los Angeles puppy training firm Fun Paw Care. "It can, in fact, be really stressful." He claims that dogs may adapt and grow comfortable with close ones hugging them, but he advises caution when hugging a dog you don't know well or allowing strangers to embrace yours.

This is one truth that has enraged many fans due to its unsettling implications. J.K. Rowling declared it canon in Fantastic Beasts 2 that Nagini was a person all along. She was a "Maledictus," which is a human with a blood curse that causes them to transform into an animal. It's similar to an Animagi, only they didn't choose to transform. Nagini would eventually become permanently trapped in that shape, which happened when she was with Voldemort. This came perceived as a significant retcon, and it made Voldemort's bond with his serpent servant much more despised in the eyes of fans.

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.

Your eye also has some unusual characteristics that you probably aren't aware of.
