We all praise the Goods along with the Devtas and Devis, as mentioned in the Aranyakas and Upanishads. But it is also believed that Brahma was the re-creator of the Universe and the actual creator was Shiva, Vishnu Or Shakti, and Brahma is the current creator.

Calvin Coolidge, the former president of the United States, owned a variety of pets, including a donkey and a bobcat. Oh, and a few of lions. They were given to them as cubs by the South African government. Tax Reduction and Budget Bureau are their names.

When the king queried his companions about the wonder of the idol and how it stayed in the air without a prop or support, some said that it was kept up by some secret support. The monarch asked someone to walk around with a spear and feel all around, above and below it, which he did but encountered no obstacles.

In 2016, Starbucks announced a plan to donate 100% of its leftover food to feed the hungry. The plan was going to affect all 7,000 US locations. They partnered with Feeding America to donate unsold meals, like sandwiches and salads, and it was all due to their baristas speaking up. 

A piece of porcelain requires many processes beginning with the gathering of raw materials and ending with the final firing. These processes include crushing the raw materials, cleaning and mixing them, forming the shape, bisque-firing (first-firing), glazing, and final firing.

A black and white film or photograph is often more difficult to recall than a colour image. Color, according to scientists, has a stronger appeal to the senses and thus leaves a more lasting impression on the memory.

Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at the Institute of Neurology in London showed that people who see a better future are more likely to be able to make that future a reality. Of course, this is exactly what the Law of Attraction says. It claims that vivid mental representations of a better life serve to attract that life to us on a daily basis. The neurologists said in their paper that "the ability to construct a hypothetical scenario in one's imagination prior to it really occurring may give more accuracy in anticipating its final consequence."

A list of Jupiter facts would be incomplete without mentioning the planet's rings. Unlike Saturn's more well-known rings, Jupiter's are faint and composed of dust rather than ice. These rings were too faint for astronomers to notice for centuries. Imagine how surprised everyone was when NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft returned images of Jupiter's rings in 1979. The three-ring system begins 92,000 kilometres above Jupiter's cloud tops and extends more than 225,000 kilometres away from the planet. They range in thickness from 2,000 to 12,500 kilometres.

With its Mediterranean environment of hot, dry summers and moderate, rainy winters, you may be tempted to undress when in Spain. There are few better places to top up your tan with 3,000 hours of sunshine every year. And any aspiring naturists will be glad to hear that nudity is permitted in Spain. Still, it is deemed undesirable in many locations.

Even though many people play golf to unwind, Disney was unable to handle it. Walt took up golf after quitting polo at his doctor's advice and got up at 4:30 a.m. to squeeze in nine holes before work. He quit the game because it was so frustrating and started playing lawn bowling, which is a more laid-back activity.

One thing breast milk lacks that formula makes up for: vitamin D. Because many mothers are weak in this substance, their breast milk is insufficient as well, and their kids suffer as a result. According to one research, formula-fed babies had better bone mineralization (stronger bones) than breastfed babies, which is why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfed kids take vitamin D supplements to compensate (ideally getting 400 IU per day in the first two months of life). Formula-fed newborns, on the other hand, are in good health as long as they consume 1 litre of infant formula every day.

Known as ambergris, the excrement of sperm whales, which is rumoured to be a by-product of the whale trying to digest indigestible items, used to be very popular in perfumes. It has a sweet smell once it ages, which is why it is used in perfumes even now. But since it led to the hunting of sperm whales, it is now made synthetically.

When perfumers try to derive the scent of a flower, many of its aspects are lost once it’s dried and pressed into oils. So perfumers try to add those characteristics back by adding notes which make it smell more realistic. One weird way that’s done in the case of white florals, is by using Indole. Derived from coal tar, this smells like camphor and mothballs when pure, and gives a fecal scent to enhance the intensity and depth of jasmine perfumes to make these fragrances smell more like the real flower.

Transnistria claimed independence from Moldova in 1990, sparking the War of Transnistria, which cemented the territory's de facto independence. The territory, which maintains its own currency and border restrictions, is not formally recognised by any United Nations member.

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

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius was described by a Roman author named Pliny the Younger, who recorded the day as August 24. However, researchers have speculated that this date might not be entirely accurate based on the food and clothing that were preserved beneath the ash. This is frequently contested!

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.

In 2018, USA Today debunked a report making the rounds on the internet. This ranking of the "most dangerous signs" is purported to be sourced from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Still, the agency denies doing any astrological analysis of the criminals it investigates. Whoever generated the false report, though, was clearly distrustful of Cancers.

Ferrari is no longer a family-owned company. Enzo Ferrari sold half of the firm he controlled outright to rival Italian carmaker Fiat Group in 1969. The transaction provided Ferrari with much-needed capital. Just before his death in 1988, Enzo Ferrari and his son Piero Ferrari sold even more of the firm, leaving the Ferrari family with only 10% control. The parent company of Ferrari is now known as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, according to a recent filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Today, the Ferrari family earns just a small portion of the earnings from Ferrari sales and branded items, which are worth billions of dollars each year.

In 1999, NASA’s Deep Space 1 probe flew past an asteroid while on its way to photograph the Borrelly comet. NASA named the asteroid “9969 Braille” in honor of Louis Braille.

Disneyland employees were not permitted to grow moustaches until the year 2000. Beards, coloured hair, and certain piercings are still prohibited, according to the LA Times.

Going through a list of America's most notorious serial killers, two signs stand out above all the rest: Pisces and Gemini. Pisces are known for being loners, and Geminis are known for their charm—two characteristics commonly found in serial murderers.

Being selected to have your own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a big deal. It’s the ultimate sign of respect from the Academy and proof that you have truly made it. It’s also an expensive process. One of the many interesting facts about the Walk of Fame is that it costs money to have a star on the Walk of Fame. When a person is nominated, a benefactor must also pay for the star. How much does it cost you ask? Just a cool $40,000.

Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft to traverse the Main Asteroid Belt. It took place in 1972. The apparatus disproved the idea that the belt contained dust that could harm the technological components aboard. Eight additional Earth representatives have safely traversed the area since that time, and the Dawn spacecraft has actually travelled there. It first entered a stable orbit around the asteroid Vesta before moving on to Ceres.

Thousands of people's wishes are inscribed on the confetti in Times Square. "Wishfetti" became a part of the ritual in 2015. People write their New Year's resolutions and submit them to the Wish Wall in Times Square (or online), where they are transformed into the confetti that falls over the throng at midnight.
