The Russian term belukha, which means "white," is where the English name "beluga" is derived. White whales are another name for belugas. Beluga calves are often dark grey upon birth. As they become older, they gradually become lighter, and when they're fully grown, they develop the white colouring that adult belugas have. Because of their white colouring, belugas may hide from predators in the icebergs and ice floes of northern seas.

One of our favourite amusing facts about Poland is that it is home to the world's first upside down house. The topsy-turvy wooden home was erected upside down in a forest and appears to be something out of a storybook. Visitors must enter the home through the attic windows and may walk around the furnished interior, which is evocative of Communist Poland in the 1970s, to symbolise how Communist control turned life in Poland upside down. Hundreds of interested visitors have visited the home since its unveiling in 2007, and it is located in the little Polish town of Szymbark, which has a population of roughly 500 people.

Sherman recalled that the man "loved that song and knew it was the heartbeat of the whole movie."

Chile has one of the world's longest coastlines, stretching for around 6500 kilometres. It is, nevertheless, one of the world's narrowest, having a width of little over 200 kilometres.

Meat-inspired perfumes are more common than you might guess. While definitely not gourmands, these scents are still weirdly food-like. Que Cologne from Pork Barrel BBQ is described by the brand as a mix of smoke, meat, spices, and "sweet summer sweat", and there is a perfume called Bacon Classic that smells exactly like fried and salty pig mixed with cedar, orange, and pepper.
Wild, right?

Part of our propensity for believing in conspiracy theories may be due to a social psychological bias that coincides with our distaste for random events. The propensity to think that the actions of others are intentional rather than the result of external events is known as Fundamental Attribution Error. As a result, when things happen randomly or unintentionally, we may feel compelled to seek a purposeful explanation. This might conceivably contribute to the development of conspiracy ideas.

Brazil produces roughly 40% of the world's coffee, far outpacing other coffee-producing countries. They've managed to keep the top spot for the last 150 years, and their coffee plantations cover approximately 27,000 km2. I don't think any other country will be able to dethrone them any time soon!

Cashews are dried and roasted after harvesting in a long process that removes harmful oils and makes the shell brittle and simple to remove.

King Tut is probably the most famous of all the ancient Egyptians, but very little was known about the boy king who died at the young age of 19 until British archaeologist Howard Carter found the tomb in 1922. King Tuts Tomb is the smallest of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings but it was filled with great wealth.

It was believed that Hieroglyphs on the wall of King Tut’s tomb had the curse of death. I’m glad I didn’t know about this curse before entering King Tut’s tomb during our visit or I may not have entered this unassuming tomb.

Consider how long it would take you to change all of your car's tyres and refuel it. Approximately 2 hours? According to Motorsports.com, the typical F1 crew changes tyres in roughly 3.0 seconds. This period is critical since builders are also evaluated at the conclusion of the season. For the driver, this implies he'll be more concerned about finishing the race on time. The record for the quickest tyre change was set in 2016 by Massa's pit crew, who replaced the tyres in 1.92 seconds. They beat Red Bull's previous record of 2.05 seconds. Look for the video on YouTube. To the naked eye, it does not appear to take even a second.
