In China, stories of an undead creature known as Jiangshi have existed since the Qing Dynasty. Though the word literally translates to “stiff corpse,” these reanimated bodies are often referred to as “hopping vampires” because they move by hopping with arms outstretched and hide in coffins or unlit areas during the day.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation grew preoccupied with inviting Lionel Messi to join the Spanish Football Team a few years after he arrived in Barcelona. But Messi had a different plan; he wanted to follow in the footsteps of former Argentina great Diego Maradona and play for his country, so he turned down the opportunity.

The Banshee is Ireland’s best-known spirit. This female figure roams the countryside and is said to wail as a warning that death is near. Though she does not cause death, her presence is believed to foreshadow death’s arrival. Historians have traced the Banshee story back to the 8th century when it was customary for women to sing sad songs to lament a death. There are a few variations as to how the Banshee appears: some depict her as a beautiful, young woman with flowing white hair, while others describe an old woman with dirty, rotting teeth and long fingernails.

Except for one character, it appears that one of the most intriguing parts of the program is that the people go by the names of major cities throughout the world. The Professor is a completely separate and distinct persona, yet many fans are unaware that he, too, has an unofficial city name - Vatican City. Vatican City, a well-protected, secretive, and knowledge-filled city, is the ideal name for the figure played by Alvaro Morte. Another intriguing detail about this actor is that he has great eyesight in real life and it took him a long time to get used to wearing glasses, but the appearance was preserved in the program.

Since the 15th century, fashion designers have represented a new clothing line by creating a small version or doll cloth version to be worn by small dolls. Did you know the significance of this fashion fun fact? It's fascinating, believe me, because there were no real human fashion models until the mid-eighteenth century.

Over the centuries, a few false words have appeared in dictionaries due to human error. Some words, such as phantomnation, which appeared in a Webster's edition in 1864, are the result of missing hyphens. Others are typographical mistakes. Dord was defined as density in a 1934 edition of Webster's New International Dictionary as a result of spacing confusion. To protect their copyright, some dictionary editors have purposefully included fake words, such as equivalence in The New Oxford American Dictionary.

Lionel Messi is live proof that Argentinians are goal-scoring machines. But an incredible football fact is that on December 26, 1998, one day after Christmas, Ricardo Olivera created history by scoring a goal in 2.8 seconds. To put it in context, a regular human can speak 7.5 words in 3 seconds. "We just had the kick-off," the commentators must have exclaimed, as the scoreboard read 1-0. Olivera beat the mark set by English footballer Colin Cowperthwaite in 1979, when he scored in 3.5 seconds against Kettering.

There are eye drops available that advertise themselves as "dissolving cataracts." Millions of people worldwide would have healthy eyes if such drops actually functioned. In truth, the development of cataract eye drops is still highly active. Lanosterol, a natural steroid that has demonstrated the capacity to lessen cataracts, is being studied by scientists. However, their study is still under progress, and there isn't yet a cataract-curing eye drop on the market.

It’s true, cats were considered sacred animals in ancient Egypt. And from what I could see from our visits to Egypt they are still cared for and revered. Our guesthouse in Cairo had plenty of cats hanging out on its rooftop terrace that we enjoyed cuddling with. Cats were thought to bring good luck and they were so revered that when a cat died, the pharaohs had them mummified. As a cat lover, I can relate.

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.

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.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a furious rock anthem that exploded out of the speakers, making everything else on MTV seem puny and insignificant in comparison. The author of the song heard it differently. "It's such a perfect combination of cleanliness and nice, candy-ass production," Cobain said in an interview with biographer Michael Azerrad. "It may seem extreme to those who aren't used to it, but I think it's kind of lame."

Before taking on the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the famous actor Sir Alec Guinness had experience acting in Shakespeare. And, by all accounts, he despised it. Guinness lamented in a letter to pals acquired by Mashable that "new crap speech arrives me every other day on bits of pink paper—and none of it makes my persona apparent or even palatable." Furthermore, Guinness recounts meeting a teenage admirer who begged for an autograph and stated he'd seen Star Wars a hundred times in an account revealed in his autobiography, A Positively Final Appearance. He consented to sign the child's autograph on the condition that he never watch the movie again.
