Throughout his run as British Secret Service agent James Bond, actor Sean Connery wore a toupe. Despite being just 31 years of age, the Scottish legend was balding. Not wanting the suave and sophisticated Bond to have a bald patch, Connery was given a toupe to wear. To be fair, it actually looks pretty good considering the time the films were made. Plus, the Bond franchise probably wouldn’t have been as successful if sex symbol Connery didn’t have a full head of hair. 

First Impressions was the working title for Pride and Prejudice. Yes, the title was chosen as part of a branding strategy designed to increase sales, with publishers opting for a "if-you-liked-that-you'll-love-this" approach. By sticking to the noun-and-noun formula to ca$h in those book sales, Jane Austen's blockbuster sales of Sense and Sensibility encouraged this name change.

Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker is seen in the 2002 Spider-Man film coming to the aid of his love interest Mary Jane after she sneaks into their school cafeteria. Her lunch flies through the air, but Peter (aka Spider-Man) swoops in, stops her fall, and catches all of her lunch items on her tray. The scene was not created with CGI, nor was it pieced together from multiple takes. On the DVD commentary, visual effects supervisor John Dykstra can be heard saying, "This next gag here, where he catches all this stuff, [Maguire] actually did that." That's pretty good. "Take156."

Shimla's name is gotten from the Goddess Shyamala Devi, a manifestation of Hindu Goddess Kali.

Even though your body is sleeping, your mind is more active than when you are awake. During dreams, your mind is learning, problem solving, and filing, sorting, and making sense of all the information you absorbed during the day.

The average snowflake can be as small as a penny or as large as a human hair. However, some unconfirmed sources claim they can grow much larger. Witnesses to a snowstorm in Fort Keogh, Montana in 1887 reported seeing milk-pan-sized crystals fall from the sky. If this is correct, they would be the largest snowflakes ever seen, measuring about 15 inches across.

Researchers are chipping away at new meds to treat migraines, alongside different methodologies. These incorporate invigorating nerves close to the mind, botulinum poison infusions, month-to-month or quarterly self-infusions of CGRP blockers, and craniosacral treatment (delicate kneading of the neck, head, and spine). A portion of these methodologies might make the future more brilliant for individuals with constant, handicapping migraines.

It may sound absurd, but soap production was once strictly regulated to prevent illegal production. According to the Telegraph, the soap tax, which was implemented in 1712, was once a major source of revenue for the Exchequer, raising roughly the same proportion of income as alcohol duty does today. The imposed levies were so high that the tax collector decided to lock the lids on soap boiling pans every night to prevent illegal soap production after hours.

Those who believe they are the most intelligent in the DC universe appear to be doomed to miss the more obvious secrets. Lex Luthor finds it absurd that Clark Kent, a mild-mannered reporter, could be his arch-nemesis in this case. Because of his hatred for Metahumans, he finds it difficult to believe that one can live a normal life.

The most well-known mantra among Hindus is the Gayatri Mantra. It has 24 letters and 24,000 verses in the Valmiki Ramayan. The Gayatri Mantra is formed from the first letter that appears after every 1000 verses of the Ramayan. This mantra represents the core of the ancient epic Ramayana. The Gayatri Mantra is mentioned for the first time in the Rigveda, the earliest of the Vedas.

We've all been caught jaywalking. You will NOT see jaywalking during your vacation here, even though it is rather widespread in other world areas. This is one of the fascinating facts about South Korea that may take some getting accustomed to. South Koreans are extremely conscientious about traffic and pedestrian restrictions, therefore they will always wait for visual confirmation that they are permitted to cross the street, even if the crossing is clear! Fortunately, in a densely populated city such as Seoul, this results in safer streets and fewer traffic accidents.

We could sit here and argue that a massive asteroid is to blame for this enormous crater, but it isn't. The fact is that when trees are removed from soft, sandy ground, the earth practically collapses and continues to slide away from natural reasons every so often.

The 'Most Twisted Love Story Award' goes to Boney and Sridevi Kapoor without a doubt. Sridevi reportedly paid a visit to Boney Kapoor and his then-wife, Mona, and attached a Rakhi to Boney...before she fell in love with him and married him.

Iztuzu Beach, near the tourist hotspot Fethiye, is one of the most important loggerhead turtle breeding areas. Every year, between May and October, endangered turtles arrive to lay their eggs on the protected shore.

If you want to be extremely successful and live your dream life, you must be crystal clear about your goals. Most people live in mediocrity because their hopes and goals are hazy. When you ask someone what they want, they will most likely say that they want more money, that they want to be happier, or that they simply want to live a healthy life. These are nebulous wishes rather than specific ambitions. When you are unsure of what you desire, your mind is unable to mimic tactics to obtain it. On the other side, if you are crystal clear about what you want to achieve in life, you will be able to devise particular plans and strategies.

The Carolingian Empire was a European empire that included what is now France, Italy, and the Netherlands. It also covered sections of Austria, Spain, and the majority of Germany. The name derives from its founder, Charles the Great, or Charlemagne as he is more popularly known. Charlemagne destroyed the Frisians in what is now the Netherlands and the Saxons in Northern Germany throughout his conquests. Both the Frisians and the Saxons were Viking adversaries who had previously kept them in check. As the Carolingian Empire fell following Charlemagne's death, the now-unchecked Vikings exploited Europe's vulnerability.

It might come to you as a matter of surprise, but kakapo, the world’s largest parrot, can not fly. Kakapo can grow up to two feet and can weigh up to nine pounds. Kakapo is the only flightless parrot in the world. But that’s not the only interesting fact about the world’s largest parrot. Kakapo is also the only parrot that is active at night.

International Asteroid Day was established in 2016 by the UN General Assembly. The time was not picked at random. The Tunguska meteorite was created when a celestial body exploded above Siberia on June 30, 1908.

Consider speeding to 100 mph and returning to zero in less than four seconds. If you have a cardiac issue, you may not live. The sensation is similar to being pressed by an invisible force. In such a circumstance, breath control is critical, and F1 drivers must go through many drills to prepare for G-Force. Formula 1 vehicles are capable of such a feat because they must sharply stop while approaching curves and then accelerate swiftly, as it is a race against time. When the drivers are subjected to force, their stamina and overall physical condition are tested.

There are three of them: English, Maltese, and Maltese Sign Language. However, Italian is commonly spoken among Maltese residents. Maltese is said to sound like a blend between Italian and Arabic.

The risk of heart disease and stroke can rise when one breathes in contaminated air. It aggravates asthma symptoms and even has been linked to lung cancer. We are urging the government to phase out diesel vehicles by 2025 as a starting step in addressing this. The human costs of both indoor and outdoor air pollution are horrendous; air pollution is a factor in millions of preventable deaths each year.
