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.

It's incredible to consider how a tiny magnet can defy the gravity of an entire planet. Gravity, on the other hand, is the weakest of physics' so-called fundamental forces. It is also insignificant in comparison to the electromagnetic force that holds the magnet to the fridge.

In an interview with The Guardian, Teletubbies co-creator Anne Wood explained that the show's adorable and fluffy rabbits are not your typical pet bunnies. "They have to be enormous to match the scale," Wood explained. There was also an issue with their health. "The only ones we could discover that were acceptable had been bred on the continent to be eaten," Wood explained. "We provided them wonderful circumstances, ranging free across the Teletubby grasslands, but their breeding had given them enlarged hearts, and the animal trainer would greet me in grief practically weekly, telling me another had died."

While humidity levels in the Western United States' Mojave Desert can reach up to 50%, you'll only get a fraction of that moisture aboard a plane. According to the World Health Organization, the average aircraft has a humidity level of less than 20%.

In contrast to the 10 trillion cells in our body, a healthy person has between 100 and 300 trillion probiotic bacteria and yeast.

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.

Kit Kats are the most popular confectionary (‘Kit Kat’ sounds similar to ‘kitto katsu’, a Japanese saying meaning ‘good luck.’) You can try edamame, wasabi and ginger ale flavoured Kit Kats, too.

Back in the 1970s, Paul and David Merage came up with the idea for microwavable "sandwiches." The product initially appeared on grocery store shelves in 1983.

Despite the fact that it's become commonplace to call the Inuit "Eskimos," this is neither their preference nor a representation of their cultural history. The term "Eskimo," which is thought to have been initially created by either the French or the Danes, probably meant either "snow-shoe netter" or "meat eater." In any case, the majority of contemporary Inuit see the term "Eskimo" as derogatory against their race. So be sure to avoid using the offensive term when speaking with anything from an Inuit community. It's also critical to be aware that Inuk is singular and Inuit is for plural usage.

Ancient trumpets made of silver and bronze have been discovered in Egyptian graves, and similar instruments have also been discovered in Scandinavia, Asia, and South America. The earliest trumpets, however, were used for military and religious purposes rather than for musical performance, so this does not imply that King Tut was playing in a jazz band.

On August 15, 1947, India gained independence from British rule, but the Portuguese refused to relinquish control of Goa. Goa's independence struggle was fought both within and outside the state, and on December 17, 1961, the Indian Army, air force, and naval forces invaded Goa and overpowered the under-prepared Portuguese army. The Portuguese governor officially surrendered on December 18th, and Goa became a part of India the next day! Every year on December 19th, Goa commemorates its second independence day.

Melanism can be an advantageous evolutionary process. Panther facts reveal that darker members of a species are frequently more disguised and so more likely to survive and reproduce. This is especially true in some environmental environments, such as deep woodland areas with minimal light, where melanism is more widespread. Melanism is thus passed on by a dominant gene in Panthera onca, the kind of panther derived from the jaguar species. This implies that although black jaguars can have either black or spotted offspring, normal jaguars can only have spotted cubs.

Many people assume that slaves built the pyramids, however this is not the truth. They were hired workmen who constructed with great respect for the Pharaoh, and those who died were interred in tombs near the holy pyramids.

The Alipore Zoo is literally something to be proud of, from the Royal Bengal to the greatest species of animals. However, few Kolkatans are aware that it is also the country's oldest zoo. Alipore's tagline as a brand could be - entertaining everyone since 1875!

Because relics of the clay oven called a Tandoor, which was used to cook the chicken, were found during an excavation, historians and archaeologists now think that the genesis of the Tandoori Chicken occurred during the Harappa Civilization. Tandoori chicken's origins can thus be traced to the Harappan Civilization, though the Punjabi people of Pakistan are responsible for its redistribution. Who would have thought that our ancestors would have had as much luck as to have what we are having now when eating the Tandoori chicken with green chutney from your favourite restaurant.
