Too many comic book enthusiasts believe that Marc Spector was developed by Marvel as a deliberate retaliation to Bruce Wayne. For those who wish to connect the dots, the parallels are there. While they are both monsters of the night who terrorize villains, there are some significant distinctions. The most noticeable change is Moon Knight's outfit. Batman usually wears an all-black outfit with a few yellow or gold accents. Moon Knight's all-white attire appears to be a near-identical negative of Batman's black costume.

Pink or green crystals, for example, including the famed rose quartz, are utilized for emotional healing, although other colors are effective and applied elsewhere.

The man responsible for the creation of arguably the most well-known cartoon character in the world, Mickey Mouse, was afraid of mice! Does it get any more ironic?

It turned out to be a solid decision from Disney. Mickey Mouse helped turn Disney into one of the world’s biggest entertainment companies.

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.

 According to the study, nearly 58 percent of all tree species are single-country endemics, meaning they only occur naturally within the borders of a single country. The highest totals for endemic tree species are found in Brazil, Colombia, and Indonesia, which makes sense given the overall biodiversity found in their native forests. The study's authors write, "The countries with the most country-endemic tree species reflect broader plant diversity trends (Brazil, Australia, China) or islands where isolation has resulted in speciation (Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia)."

Apart from the normal male and female washrooms, you might come across a third-gender washroom in this liberal country. Thailand is one of the first countries to introduce these to transgender men and is known to be very accepting of the sexual identity and expression of its people. 

Taste receptor cells in the pancreas enable it to detect the presence of sugar. Artificial sweeteners are also "tasted" by it. But unlike our tongue's taste buds, it doesn't send these sensations back to the brain. Instead, the pancreas uses this sensory data to maintain a healthy hormonal balance and blood glucose levels.

Austen's family worked hard in 1817 to get Northanger Abbey and Persuasion sold as a set. Henry Austen, Austen's brother, wrote a "biographical note" identifying Austen as the author. The books were well received. Richard Bentley, a publisher, purchased the copyrights to Austen's novels in 1832 and published an omnibus edition of her work in October 1833. Since Bentley's publication, Austen's books have remained in print indefinitely.
