This well-known oil painting by Johannes Vermeer was completed in 1665. It shows a European girl in an exotic dress, an oriental turban, and what appears to be a large pearl earring. The beautiful girl in the painting is thought to be his eldest child Maria, who was also said to be his muse. She appears in other paintings by Johannes and bears an uncanny resemblance to the painting, though this theory has never been proven.

While Lamborghinis are commonly associated with affluent and famous individuals who purchase such a vehicle as a sign of prestige, Lamborghinis also serve some extremely beneficial reasons. One application for these vehicles among Italians is the transfer of donated blood and organs. Because there are time limits between collecting donated blood and organs and delivering them to a suitable storage facility, it seems to reason that they would chose a quick automobile for this duty. Lamborghinis are also used as police cars in Italy and the United Arab Emirates. Because of the speed of the autos, this is another reason that makes sense.

Beggars' Night was held the night before Halloween in Des Moines for young children. According to a Des Moines Register article, the event began around 1938 as a way to prevent vandalism and provide a safer way for younger children to celebrate Halloween.

Some fun facts about the Pyramids are that they were built to house the rulers of ancient Egypt and ferry them and their families into the afterlife. The pyramids were made as tombs for the Pharaohs and their families.

Ancient Egyptians believed that they had to follow strict rules to have a good afterlife. They also believed that it was up to the living to help them get to the afterlife. Great care was taken in the mummification process because the ancient Egyptians believed that the body needed to be preserved to be reborn and be ferried to the afterlife. They even mummified animals.

Sound waves provide considerably lower levels of energy than other types of energy. Because any sound creates low energy levels, you don't want to use it to generate electricity, which demands a lot of energy.

After the 1914–15 season, the Football League ceased its schedule, and amateur competitions were tough to organise with so many men in the war, so women stepped in. Munitions workers, or'munitionettes,' organised football teams and competed against other plants. Munitionette football had a large fan base, and many matches were held on the grounds of professional teams. When the conflict ended, the female players were forced to hang up their boots and return to the domestic life they had been leading before to the war. However, the sport continued to thrive until 1921, when women were barred from playing on Football League fields.

However, in real life, witchcraft has a very negative connotation, so much so that witches were sentenced to death in order to cleanse society. However, white magic practitioners have existed throughout history. Witchcraft is not the same as black magic. It is an umbrella term for both white and black magic.

While most of us have had a shattered bone at some time in our lives, the truth is that bone is a very tough substance. So powerful, in fact, that "ounce for ounce, human bones are stronger than steel," as Discover Magazine puts it. A bone has a higher pressure tolerance and bearing strength than a steel rod of equal width. The femur is the strongest bone in the body, capable of supporting 30 times the weight of an ordinary adult. We all are men or women of steel...

Many of us prefer to eat ice cream in dishes and many of us want to eat with a crunch of a cone. But the invention of the cone was actually an accident. It was in the year 1904 World's Fair, an ice cream maker was struggling to keep up the demands and eventually ran out of the bowls to serve ice cream. And luckily his stall was just beside the waffle maker and seeing his condition the waffle maker jumped in to help him out and he began to roll his waffles into the shape of horns to serve the ice cream and this is how we got cones.
