Jelly donut is referred to as a Berliner, but not in Berlin. Pfannkuchen is the term used in Berlin. He did in fact give a speech that day. Kennedy was also known to struggle with learning foreign languages. However, he was conscious of his words while he gave that speech. Kennedy made the right statement. In reality, he deviated from his prepared remarks and gave a moving speech to the nervous Berliners.

The young queen was a wedding trendsetter. In 1840, it wasn’t normal to see a bride wearing white. The color was considered boring and conservative, but Victoria didn’t care. She chose simplicity over opulence, and her lacy silk-satin grown—crafted from the finest British textiles—gave a much-needed boost to the struggling lace trade. Several years later, a women’s publication stated that white was the “most fitting hue” for brides, and a tradition was born.

The growth rate of toenails is around half that of fingernails. They usually expand by 1.6 millimeters each month.

Agoraphobia occurs when a person is afraid of open places or situations from which they cannot flee. Someone suffering from agoraphobia may be afraid of being stranded outside their home or in a huge crowd. Some persons who suffer from agoraphobia are afraid that they may have a panic attack or a medical emergency and will be unable to receive treatment or flee.

Consistently on the late spring solstice, a special ball game is played at the Growden Remembrance Park known as the 12 PM Sun Game. The game took place in Fairbanks, Alaska, and because the Sun was out for almost 24 hours on the solstice, there was no artificial lighting from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The custom started in 1906 and has been played consistently beginning around 1960 by The Frozen North Goldpanners.

Taz became a popular cartoon character thanks to Looney Tunes. In reality, though, the devil is anything but. According to one research, it possesses the most powerful bite in the planet. Despite weighing just 20 pounds on average, these creatures can apply up to 94 pounds of pressure, giving them a "Bite Force Quotient" of 181. That's about twice as powerful as a hyena and 60 points stronger than a lion.

The waters surrounding Malta and Gozo are a stunning combination of blue and green. The most popular site on the Maltese islands is the Blue Lagoon on Comino Island.

Although the '90s Disney princesses are thought to be more feminist than the older ones, a surprising study found that this is not entirely true. Despite being bolder, more independent, and less reliant on men, princesses still speak 40% less than their male counterparts. More recent Disney princesses, such as Rapunzel from Tangled and Merida from Brave, are more equal, but even Frozen, a film about two sisters, had 59 percent male dialogue.

Now for a positive fact about Taiwan. Compared to its neighboring countries like Japan, Korea, and China where LGBT people face discrimination, Taiwan is forward-thinking and progressive.

A line of trombone players performs the routine by bending and standing in time to a drumbeat until one player's trombone is where the head of a neighboring player was just moments earlier. Players who mistime the routine in practice frequently suffer from broken noses or black eyes, earning the routine the moniker "trombone suicide." Another name for it is a "head chop" for obvious reasons.

"We don't really know who first came up with the idea for looking at things in nature and divining influences on humans," NASA astronomer Sten Odenwald told Time. "There's some indication that cave art shows this idea that animals and things can be imbued with some spirit form that then influences you, and if you appease that spirit form, then you will have a successful hunt. That was taken over by the idea of divination, where you can actually look at things in nature and study them carefully, such as tea-leaf reading."

In 1901, Annie Edson Taylor, a 63-year-old teacher, was the first to take this spectacular voyage down the surging waters of Niagara Falls in a self-designed barrel constructed of iron and oak and padded with a mattress. While she survived, such a trip is not recommended for obvious safety reasons, and individuals who try a reckless act over Niagara Falls face a hefty fine as well as the expense of rescue. Over a dozen additional individuals have gone over the falls since Taylor.

Taman Negara is the world's oldest tropical rainforest, believed to be more than 130 million years old. Taman Negara translates to "national park" in Malay. To enter the park, you must obtain special authorization from the government, but it is definitely worth it if you have the time. Rare creatures like as the Malayan tiger, crab-eating macaques, Sumatran rhinos, and even the Asian elephant call this jungle home.

For years, I had heard about the Canadian cuisine Poutine but had never eaten it. Despite having seen it on menus in the United States, I wanted to sample this Canadian cuisine for the first time in Canada. Poutine originates in the province of Quebec. It's made out of French fries, gravy, and cheese curds. I realize that doesn't sound very tasty (or perhaps it does). We were able to taste it at the first eatery that offered it in the area-Chez Ashton-during my Saint-Roch walking food tour in Quebec City. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it!

Have you heard that formula feeding, maybe with a little of rice cereal in the bottle, fills babies' tummies for longer periods of time, allowing them to sleep longer? While it is true that formula takes longer to digest and hence stays in a baby's stomach longer, this unfortunately does not translate into more sleep for the mother. A research published in Pediatrics by West Virginia University discovered that whether mothers gave their newborns breast milk, formula, or a combination of the two, they all received the same amount of sleep and felt similarly pooped.

The temple's Shiva linga was thought to safely house the famed Syamantak Mani, the Philosopher's stone linked with Lord Krishna, within its hollowness. It was a miraculous stone that could turn into gold. This stone was thought to have alchemical and radioactive qualities. It had the ability to generate a magnetic field around itself, keeping the linga afloat above earth.

This species has a name that reflects its proportions, with wingspreads ranging from four to seven inches. If you've ever encountered one on a hike or in your yard, you may have been taken aback by its beauty. Because of the lengthy tails on this butterfly's hindwings, their swallowtail description is drawn from birds of the same name.

Lions prefer hunting at night as they have eyes that are adapted to the dark. And these features give them a great advantage over their prey. Lions also prefer hunting during the storms as the noise and wind make it harder for the prey to hear or see them, and hence they can easily attack them. A great strategy, isn't it?

Some of the rocks date back more than 540 million years. The rocks along the Russian Platform date back to the Precambrian epoch, the earth's first aeon. This epoch spanned from the birth of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago through the emergence of the first multicellular creatures. To put it into perspective, the ancient rocks in the Black Sea existed for about 300 years before dinosaurs were on the scene.

Maxwell Lappe, a dentist, invented Nu Nails, an artificial nail designed specifically for nail biters, in 1934. Dentists must be obsessed with nail care, because dentist Fred Slack invented the first modern acrylic nails.

Your skin's trouble spots could appear to be an annoyance, but they might be there for a reason. Your thicker skin on the bottoms of your feet and heels, which you desperately want to remove with a pedicure, is actually evolution at work, protecting you as you walk, according to Anolik. The elbows, for example, are a different matter.

We’re seeing a lower incidence of gastric cancer these days, partly because our diet contains fewer foods that cause cancer (as refrigeration became widespread, we ate fewer smoked and cured meats).

We now also know that H. pylori can cause stomach cancer, but H. pylori are relatively easy to diagnose and treat.

 Raw cashew seeds have a natural greenish-grey color before being roasted. They take on the light brown color we all know and love after roasting.

Only 9-35 adults remain in the wild at Ball’s Pyramid, Lord Howe Island.
