The Earth is not a perfectly symmetrical sphere. It also has many lumps and bumps in the shape of mountains and deep gorges. The Earth's composition is also not consistent around the world. Different types of rock, mineral concentrations, and geography all work together to create pockets of varying average density all over the place. This has an immediate impact on gravity at various locations on the Earth's surface.

Butterscotch candy is thought to have originated in the early 1800s in Yorkshire, England. The term "butterscotch" is supposed to be a combination of the terms "butter" and "scotch," both of which signify to cut or score.

A fascinating part of Balinese society is that there are just four names: Wayan, Made, Nyoman, and Ketut, and people know the names of their children before they are born.

If there is a fifth child, they are renamed Wayan, and the cycle continues.

When we throw away our clothes, we accept that we will never see them again. However, just because our old clothes are no longer in our possession doesn't mean they've vanished.

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."

Most Star Wars fans are already aware that Yoda's full name, at least in the original draught, was "Minch Yoda," before being condensed to something simpler to say. But here's an interesting statistic that may surprise you: Yoda's original name was—wait for it—Buffy in the very early phases of The Empire Strikes Back. Yes, Buffy, the name we associate with great young vampire slayers. If Yoda had been given this extremely un-Yoda-like name, the world would have been a very different place.

Yes, that's right! Some desert lizards are supposed to be capable of living their entire lives without drinking water. This is a hotly discussed topic among reptile enthusiasts, as there is evidence both for and against it. Most lizard species, especially those from swampy or marshy locations, will require fresh drinking water. If you want to keep a lizard as a pet, you should do a lot of research before buying one to make sure you set up your vivarium properly!

Bob Kane created Batman, but it was collaborator Bill Finger who added numerous essential elements that helped him become the iconic hero we know today, such as naming Gotham City, naming him Bruce Wayne, and completely revamping the original costume (a red bodystocking with a domino mask) with pointed ears, a black colour scheme, and a scalloped cape. Yet it wasn't until recently that DC Comics began crediting Finger as a co-creator.
