In 2002, a man who believes the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was staged by the government contacted astronaut Buzz Aldrin about it. As Aldrin walked outside a Beverly Hills hotel, a man thrust a Bible at him and demanded that the septuagenarian spaceman swear on it that he had gone to the moon. Aldrin was reasonably irritated after risking his life and making significant sacrifices to complete his mission. He was doing fine until the stranger labelled him a coward, a liar, and a thief. At that time, Aldrin, then 72, punched his sidewalk interrogator in the face. The District Attorney's Office in Los Angeles declined to file charges against Aldrin.

Pat Welsh, an elderly California citizen, was E.T's principal voice. Welsh smoked two packs of cigarettes every day to give E.T.'s voice the raspy roughness required by the character. For other features of E.T.'s voice, 16 other individuals and animals, including raccoons, sea otters, and horses, were also utilized.

We don't even know how many stars there are in the cosmos. We now use our best estimate of the number of stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Then we increase that figure by our best estimation for the number of galaxies in the cosmos. After all of that calculation, NASA can confidently state that there are zillions upon zillions of uncountable stars. A billion is an endless number.

Thyme flavor is one of the benefits of using it in cooking. Many people enjoy the savoury, warm flavour of thyme. But thyme has advantages beyond its delicious flavour. While many spices contribute minerals and antioxidants, other herbs, like thyme, also have antiseptic or disinfection properties. This may assist in halting the spread of dangerous microorganisms. Thyme's antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant qualities are another incentive to use it in cooking. All of these will enhance the flavour of your food and keep you healthy.

Sand is combined with lime and soda ash and heated to extremely high temperatures to create glass. Glass is produced when the liquid combination is allowed to cool again.

The most dramatic stock market meltdown in US history happened on Black Tuesday, October 24th, 1929. It is often assumed that the financial crisis resulted in innumerable suicides, however this was not the case. There were two of them.

Under black lights, bananas glow blue. Ripe bananas appear yellow to the naked eye under normal conditions due to organic pigments known as carotenoids. Chlorophyll begins to degrade as bananas ripen. This pigment is what causes bananas to glow, or fluoresce, under UV light and appear blue. While this is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating facts about bananas, there is another that will make you want to eat a banana every day.

With all that land, there has got to be a couple of libraries, right? Harvard has some of the world’s most famous university libraries that boast a collection that is the oldest in America. There are 79 libraries, the main and largest one is known as the Widener Memorial Library. It houses about 3.5 million works in over 100 languages and 92 kilometers of shelves across ten levels. Four of the floors are underground because they needed to expand and could not go anywhere but down.

Here’s a fact that we can expect from Harvard. We all know that the process of getting into Harvard University is super rigorous and unbelievably hard. But did you know that the selection rate is just 4.6%? Meaning that for every 100 applications that Harvard receives yearly, around 95 are tossed out.

This tree's pulp, commonly known as cassia pulp, is renowned for its laxative properties. 50 grams of cassia pulp should be strained after an overnight soak in water. It can cure constipation if you add 25 grams of sugar to it. The pulp of the Cassia fistula acts as a gentle and risk-free purgative.

This expression wasn't influenced by drowsy, hot puppies. According to National Geographic, the "dog" in question is Sirius, the Dog Star, which emerges in the sky in late July as a member of the Greater Dog constellation. The term "dog days" was used by the Greeks and Romans to describe the hottest part of the year, which was also thought to bring catastrophes like fever.

This is also according to Professor Idzikowski, suggesting that those who sleep in the foetal position “may appear tough but are actually sensitive souls right to their core.” See what the Professor says about the other sleep positions.

 

Over the years, the term "butterscotch" has been used to designate a range of different culinary products, although it most commonly refers to a sort of confectionery or dessert. The name itself is considered to be a mix of the words butter and burn, and it most likely relates to the candy-making process. Sugar and butter are cooked together until they create a thick, sticky slurry to make butterscotch. After that, the fluid is poured into moulds or onto a surface to cool and harden. Butterscotch candies have a smooth, creamy taste that is gently sweet and somewhat salty.

Walt was the literal man behind the mouse from 1928 to 1947. Walt kept doing Mickey's voice for shorts on The Mickey Mouse Club even after the voice work was formally given to Jimmy MacDonald in 1947.

This study complements the previous one. While formula is helpful for helping newborns gain weight, this propensity may be dangerous. According to one research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, formula-fed babies are more likely to become obese later in life. Researchers believe this is because bottles are simpler to guzzle than breasts, resulting in overeating and a bigger appetite that children retain into adulthood.

Almond flour is a wonderful and versatile gluten-free baking ingredient. Our almond flour is a completely different product from ground almonds. It is a lower-fat alternative to wheat flour that is also gluten-free and low in carbs. This unblanched almond flour is an excellent addition to cakes, puddings, pastries, and, of course, marzipan.

Every year, the Selçuk Efes Camel Wrestling Festival, founded more than 2,000 years ago by Turkic tribes, takes place on Turkey's southern Aegean coast. Fighting camels with ornate rugs, bells, and saddles are frequently imported from Iran and Afghanistan.

Who can forget the moment Gwyneth Paltrow sobbed her way through her Best Actress acceptance in 1999 for 'Shakespeare in Love'? Or Julia Roberts, who got the giggles and forgot to thank her movie namesake, 'Erin Brockovich'. The longer speech however goes to Actress Greer Garson who rambled on for seven minutes when she won the award for Best Supporting Actress in 1934.

When Perseus took Medusa’s head, we are told that something extraordinary happened. When Medusa was raped by Poseidon, it seems that she got pregnant but for some reason, never gave birth. Consequently, when her head was removed, two children sprang from the opening. These were Chrysaor and Pegasus. Chrysaor became the father of the three-headed (or three-bodied) giant Geryon who is mainly known for his fight with Hercules. Pegasus was a winged horse and one of the most famous mythological beings. So why did Gorgon Medusa give birth to a horse? This must have to do with the fact that Poseidon was, amongst others, the god of horses.

They can tell the difference between warm-blooded and cold-blooded creatures and exclusively hunt the latter. In fact, in the natural, they would aggressively shun humans. As a result, they have never and will never kill a human. The sea lamprey's natural nature is to cling to things, such as the glass wall of its tank, the pebbles on the sea (or lake) floor, and so on. As a result, if one is put up to a human, it will most likely latch on like a leech. Its suction is quite forceful and can be extremely painful, putting intense pressure on the area of contact. While the bite is eventually unpleasant, no one has to be concerned unless they intentionally introduce the sea lamprey.

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."

Some of the most futuristic items in the Star Wars films were made from strange materials. Like Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, which was actually the handle of an old camera flash, or the medical droid's mouthpiece in Empire Strikes Back, which was simply an old-school microphone. But our favorite piece of prop deception comes from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. You probably didn't think twice about the communicators used by Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). However, if you did, you may have noticed that they are designed just like a Gillette razor.
