Your carpet, curtains, bed, and upholstered furniture's inner layers are a dust mite's paradise. Dust, or should I say your dead skin, tends to gather there. Be not ashamed; it is nearly impossible to completely eradicate dust mites from most homes. According to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, at least one bed in about 80% of American homes had detectable levels of dust mites.

Toby Gard, the creator of Lara Croft, joked that it became clear that Tomb Raider needed a female protagonist when he realised that third-person games require a lot of staring at the main character's butt, so he should probably make that butt a lady's butt to keep him sane during the long hours. In reality, Core was probably afraid of being sued by Lucasfilm for their obvious Indiana Jones rip-off, so they needed a new character who couldn't be confused with Harrison Ford. The simplest way to accomplish this was to switch genders.

For devotees, it sometimes seems like Starbucks can do no wrong, especially when it comes to new and creative drinks. But they have had a big flop, and it's called the Chantico. The Chantico came out in 2005 and was described as a "drinkable dessert."

Most ancient Greek women were discouraged from wearing lipstick. Harlots, on the other hand, were encouraged to apply lip color in order to be clearly identifiable. In fact, the original lipstick legislation condemned harlots who appeared in public without lipstick to jail time. The Greeks believed that by wearing a bare lip, harlots might fool men into thinking they were ladies, demonstrating that even thousands of years ago, lipstick was associated with sensuality and was used as a justification to separate and subjugate women. Crocodile dung, sheep sweat, and red dye were among the materials in the Greek light paint recipe. Were they forced to use crocodile dung? Evidently, yeah.

The moon used to be a hotspot of volcanic activity. As molten lava from the volcanoes solidified billions of years ago on the lunar surface, it contributed to the formation of distinct craters. NASA stated in 2014 that an Arizona State University team detected "irregular patches" on the moon caused by volcanic eruptions as recently as 50 million years ago. Fortunately, the moon's volcanoes have been dormant since then, so we won't be seeing any eruptions anytime soon.

Mehendi can help to relieve mental stress, cure fevers, and alleviate headaches. So now you understand why we lavish the bride with Mehendi! Henna flowers are used to treat sunburned headaches.

Historians have traced the Banshee story back to the 8th century when it was customary for women to sing sad songs to lament a death. There are a few variations as to how the Banshee appears: some depict her as a beautiful, young woman with flowing white hair, while others describe an old woman with dirty, rotting teeth and long fingernails.

The Nabataeans, like many other ancient peoples, revered the sun as a source of light and life, and Petra's design reflects that reverence. Many of the city's most sacred spaces are designed to correspond to solar patterns, such as solstices.

Crystals are not like other rocks you might come across. Despite their origins in minerals or rocks, crystals exist in a'vegetative' condition, which means they have some type of dormant life. They develop deep within clusters as well. As a result, they are said to have some kind of healing energy or ability that links with the energy points in living organisms, including humans. As a result, you should use caution while engaging with these chemicals, just as you would with other living organisms. It may be frightening for some to consider, but some believe crystals carry much-needed healing power.
