Don't be fooled by the name—not it's a spider or a bird. It's a wasp, not a bee. However, this insect produces one of the most excruciating bug bites. According to entomologist Justin Schmidt, who developed the "Schmidt sting pain index" to assess the intensity of bug bites, the tarantula hawk is one of only two insects to receive a 4 on a scale of 1 to 4.

In the United Kingdom, nearly £368 million is spent on whole cakes each year, which includes birthday cakes! That's nearly £1 million worth of cake per day, which is a lot of cake (and even more candles). When you extrapolate this to the entire world, you'll discover that people eat between 50 and 100 million birthday cakes every single day, not just once a year.

We'll look through cricket in further detail. A century is an innings in which one batter runs a hundred runs without being hit. That is really difficult for me to achieve. Alastair Cook is the oldest player to reach the age of 38. But that is not the all-time record held by Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar retired in 2013 at the age of 100. Tendulkar is known as the "God of Cricket."

There isn't a breed of teacup Chihuahuas, which may disappoint you if you've been looking for one. This is not a canine classification; it is a marketing gimmick. When searching for a puppy, it's crucial to keep in mind that all Chihuahuas are teacup-sized. Despite the fact that some people are smaller than average

Nepal, on the other hand, is a peaceful country because it is the birthplace of Buddha. In 623 B.C., Siddhartha Guatama, also known as Lord Budhha, was born in Kapilavastu, Lumbini. Lumbini was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

Mirrors are creepy because research has shown that they can cause hallucinations. Many people have claimed that if you sit in a darkened room about 3ft away from a mirror and stare at your reflection for about 10 minutes, you may begin hallucinating. This is due to the small distortions that are forming within your reflection. Others have reported seeing other human faces as well as animal faces.

Though you might think there is a standard procedure to follow if a passenger dies in flight, what happens to your dearly departed cabin-mate varies greatly depending on the airline and type of plane. While some planes, such as Singapore Airlines' Airbus A340-500 planes, were designed with a special place to store bodies, according to one flight attendant, on many flights, the body is simply moved to a back row and covered—except for the head—until medical professionals on the ground can attend to the deceased.

Psychology majors study many elements of human behavior. Studies on cognition (how we think), development (how we grow and change through time), behaviour (how we act), and neurological processes are all included (how the brain works).

In 1999, NASA’s Deep Space 1 probe flew past an asteroid while on its way to photograph the Borrelly comet. NASA named the asteroid “9969 Braille” in honor of Louis Braille.

Have you ever heard of sharing the DNA with Gorillas? But yes, we do. We share 98% of our DNA with Gorillas. This means that exposure to human illnesses, even a cold, can negatively impact the Gorillas as they are so much similar to us, genetically. Still, they haven't developed the necessary immunities. Interesting, isn't it?

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.

Many Buddhists, believe it or not, possess cars, houses, jewelry, and other items. "Because so many vocal Buddhists in America are practicing monks or wealthy individuals shunning consumerism to go meditate," says Wasserman, "we assume all Buddhists are like that."

People who do the Rorschach test typically process each image on three planes: shape, movement, and color. They look at the form, or shape, of the blot. Some may see a bear, while others may see a bat. People will also give the forms varied degrees of movement. If they notice someone, he or she may be dancing. Finally, in five of the ten cards, Rorschach watched how individuals reacted to the introduction of colour. The reaction of a person to the abrupt infusion of colour into the black and white forms may suggest more intense emotional responses.

Countless species, including fireflies, are bioluminescent, or able to generate their own light.

If your kid begins on a certain brand-name formula, don't be surprised if you begin to consider the less expensive store-brand alternatives.
