None of the fairyfly species exhibit any signs of courtship. A female is reportedly fertilized by just one male, according to observations. Different species have displayed minor mating peculiarities. It is typical for the female fairyfly to outnumber the male in a brood by a ratio of about 20 to 1 in species like Prestwichia Aquatica, Anaphes nipponicus, and Anagrus armatus. Additionally, some species have an inversed sex ratio, as is the case with Polynema striation.

Every country has a few outdated laws which didn't quite catch up with the times, but some of the laws in Bangkok will really leave you scratching your head as to the reason they were formulated in the first place. You might inadvertently commit a crime if you:

-Leave the house without wearing underwear 
-Drive a motorized vehicle bare-chested
-Use a durian fruit as a weapon; the fine levied will be determined according to the number of thorns that strike the victim
-Step on the currency, as it contains the image of the King and must not be disrespected

Most people are familiar with Volkswagen's classic range of campervans, the Kombi, or even the Beetle. Currywurst sausages are a lesser-known food produced by Volkswagen's facilities. Why on earth would Volkswagen create sausages? VW constructed a facility in a secluded place and chose to prepare their own meals for the industrial workers. Volkswagen ended up selling its sausages commercially because they were so popular. Volkswagen's sausages are so popular that they generate more income than the company's automobiles!!

The ideal time to see butterflies is during the summer, as anyone who likes to take walks through flower-filled fields or spend time gardening in their backyard is sure to know. With their orange and black wings, monarch butterflies spend the summer in North America before making their annual migration south (or occasionally west) for the winter. To find out if they are going by your neighborhood, you can even follow their route!

Although you should apply moisturizer all the time, you need also to know when to change it up. In warmer weather, use a thinner moisturizer that won't clog pores and create breakouts, and in colder winter, use a thicker cream recipe.

Popcorn has long been linked with the cinema, or more recently, the microwave, but while many of us may have questioned why popcorn pops, few of us have inquired where popcorn comes from. Thousands of years ago, the ancient peoples of the Americas cultivated the variety of maize that produces popcorn. Popcorn relics going back 6.700 years have been unearthed in Peru. So, the next time you grab a handful of your favourite food, remember to thank someone other than Orville Redenbacher.

The Chinatown in Bangkok is the largest in the world, home to over a million people of Chinese origin, usually second or third generation. Known locally as Yaowarat, the crisscrossing alleyways and bylanes transform into a buzzing street food hub at night and a thrift shopping center during the daytime. At the end of Yaowarat Road, near Hua Lamphong railway station, is the Temple of Wat Traimit which houses the largest gold Buddha in the world. The statue is officially titled Phra Phuttha Maha Suwana Patimakon and weighs a staggering five-and-a-half ton.

The Earth is not a perfectly symmetrical sphere. It also has many lumps and bumps in the shape of mountains and deep gorges. The Earth's composition is also not consistent around the world. Different types of rock, mineral concentrations, and geography all work together to create pockets of varying average density all over the place. This has an immediate impact on gravity at various locations on the Earth's surface.

One quiet little secret exists in Grand Central. The whispering gallery, also known as the whispering wall, is a modest secret that stands apart from the surrounding turmoil of city life. It is located on the less frenetic lower level and has no great fanfare to indicate its presence. Four arched entryways make a square shape in the whispering gallery. And if you whisper something into the arch and someone else stands 30 feet away with their ear to the arch diagonal from yours, they'll be able to clearly hear what you said — despite the distance and the acoustic deafening noise that is typical of Grand Central.

Your friendships are affected directly by love. When you get a boyfriend or girlfriend, you usually have to let go of two other important people in your life (such as a bestie or a family member...not cool!).

In his Poor Richard's Almanac, founding father Benjamin Franklin got one over on rival Titan Leeds, also an almanac writer, by "predicting" the exact date and time of his death.

In the last 300 million years or so, several types of plants have evolved a tree form, or "arborescence." It's a tricky stage in plant evolution, requiring innovations like sturdy trunks to keep plants upright and strong vascular systems to pump water and nutrients up from the soil. The extra sunlight, on the other hand, is worth it, causing trees to evolve multiple times throughout history, a phenomenon known as convergent evolution.

It's interesting how they classify game violence — World War II brutality is mild enough to be labelled T, yet modern-day nukes are clearly rated M.

Someone who has a fear of heights may avoid bridges and even upper building floors. Symptoms include dizziness, perspiration, and vertigo, as well as a feeling like they're going to pass out.
