A command entered in the "master machine" where the animation for Toy Story 2 was stored deleted 90 percent of the work the Pixar team had done on it. As Mental Floss describes, "A plan was quickly hatched to restore the data from a regular backup, which meant that only half a day of work would have been lost. But the backup system had failed. Pixar, incredibly, did not have a copy of the Toy Story 2 files on its servers." Fortunately, the film's technical director had a copy she had been working on from home, and much of it was restored.

Wonder Woman is one of the most powerful DC superheroes, possessing superhuman strength that puts her on par with Superman. She has even surpassed Supergirl, who is frequently seen as more powerful than Superman, however Wonder Woman's Amazonian warrior training does help her. It was long assumed that her silver bracelets, made from the fragments of Zeus' shield, enhanced her abilities because they are indestructible and may be used offensively. In the New 52, Wonder Woman removes her bracelets to battle a God, stating that the bracelets are what protect her opponents from her great strength.

Emanating from Stockholm's Ericsson Dome, the world's biggest hemispherical building, the model travels 950 kilometers to Kiruna, where the notion of Termination Shock - the end of the solar system - is commemorated.

Did you know that certain NASA scientists have shown that a flame would be spherical under microgravity (like on a space station)? The absence of gravity is what causes this phenomenon.

The Vieng Xai Caves, located deep in thick forests and amid limestone cliffs, were once home to almost 20,000 Laotians who hid from American bombs for more than a decade during the Vietnam War. Kaysone Phomvihane, the leader of Laos' communist movement, created this intricate network of over 450 limestone caves known as 'The City of Victory.' Homes, schools, marketplaces, a bakery, a bank, a theatre, an elephant enclosure, and even hospitals were built into the subterranean caves for its people. Today, the caves are a museum that captivates all who visit.

The Earth has seen a number of mass extinctions. When the previous one occurred 66 million years ago, dinosaurs were extinct. The scientific community agrees that it occurred as a result of the effects of a 10-kilometer asteroid hitting the Yucatan Peninsula. Upon impact, a 180 km crater was left. Due to the chemical makeup of the soil, it is thought that an asteroid, not a comet, killed the dinosaurs.

The Rorschach test has been transferred between the shared file drawers of psychology throughout the years, praised by certain therapists and scorned by others. According to critics, the scoring system and parsing replies are as subjective to the psychologist as they are to the patient, and it is pseudoscience. A meta-analysis of available data conducted in 2000 revealed that "the vast majority of [Rorschach] indices are not empirically validated." Others see objective evidence in a more refined scoring system for answers originally used in the 1970s and regard the exam as useful in understanding how individuals communicate their impressions—while not diagnostic, it may be helpful.
