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.

Candle wax used to be mostly derived from animal sources like beeswax or calf fat. It was common for candles to be stolen during famines and consumed by the starving.

The inaugural race was held at Valentino Park in Turin, Italy, and was won by a driver in an Alfa Romeo 158. This event was part of Achille Varzi's spectacular recovery from a drug-fueled past.

Although wheeled office chairs were already in existence, they were not as comfy or ergonomic as what we have today. So Darwin did something daring with his opulent couch. The man was a well-known workaholic, and when he wasn't gathering or devouring specimens, he was researching them and taking notes. He discovered that in his study or lab area, he would have to move around the workplace from bench to bench, desk to desk. So, in order to increase his productivity and save crucial study time, he decided to add wheels to his beautiful recliner.

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."

Glassblowing is a disappearing art form. There is just no demand for blown glass today due to the rise of mass production. Really, it's a shame because blown glass is so exquisite and distinctive. No two pieces are exactly the same because each is entirely handmade. Only a few glass-blowing studios are in existence, and even fewer artists are skilled at blowing glass.

According to research at Harvard, anxiety has been indicated in several chronic physical illnesses, including heart disease, chronic respiratory disorders like COPD, gastrointestinal conditions such as IBS, and substance abuse. There is still a lot to learn about the way our body experiences anxiety and how it affects our physical health. However, what is certain is that long-term exposure to increased cortisol levels (i.e., anxiety) leads to decreased immunity and damage to the heart and lungs.

Monkeypox is uncommon. However, the number of cases is increasing in Africa, as well as in formerly uninfected areas.
