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."

British lieutenant-colonel Charles Howard-Bury discovered enormous footprints that were roughly "three times" the size of a typical human's while hiking around Mount Everest in 1921. His story was quickly picked up by Henry Newman of the Calcutta Statesman, who printed the description as metch kangmi, which he mistranslated as "abominable snowman." His guide claimed they had been left by a met-teh kangmi or "man-sized wild creature."

Have you ever wondered where your broccoli comes from?

In fact, it's nearly 2 BILLION POUNDS of broccoli!

Although you might consider it a vegetable, it's a fruit. B vitamins, beta carotene, and 52 mg of vitamin C, almost twice as much as you need each day, are all present in one medium pepper.

The text's vocabulary consists of only 50 different words, the result of a bet between Seuss and Bennett Cerf (Dr. Seuss's publisher) that Seuss could not complete an entire book without exceeding that limit (after completing The Cat in the Hat with 236 words).

San Marino's history predates the Middle Ages and is analogous to that of other micronations such as Luxembourg, Andorra, Lichtenstein, and Monaco.

People visit Lavender Town to bury their departed Pokemon. The town was deemed one of the creepiest areas in the mainstream games due to its vibe. According to legend, Japanese youngsters committed suicide as a result of the music's hypnotic and devastating effects.

Since the 13th century, passports have been in use. This concept was introduced by King Henry V to make it easier to prove his nationality and identity when traveling to foreign lands. However, they were not given the name 'passport' at the time.

As they develop, centipedes moult. Every time they moult, they grow another set of legs naturally, so the older they get, the more legs they have. The fact that they can actually grow new legs after being amputated by predators is truly bizarre. Centipedes have the ability to detach some of their legs in order to escape from a predator's grasp. Then, when they moult, they simply regenerate their lost legs!

In the film "Pulp Fiction," John Travolta pulls a needle from Uma Thurman's chest after she overdoses. The actual shot was filmed backwards, giving the impression that the needle made contact with Thurman's skin. This made the shot much safer because Travolta was less likely to puncture his co-star.

If you're telling yourself that you don't need to worry because you haven't noticed any dust mites in your house, think again. Dust mites are incredibly tiny creatures. They only reach a size of one-quarter to one-third of a millimetre, and your eyes cannot see them. You could see that dust mites resemble white spiders under a microscope. They are arthropods because they have eight legs (not insects).

One of the most fascinating aspects of psychology is that the human brain can hold an estimated 2,500,000 terabytes of data. Given that the typical adult human brain weighs just three pounds, this is an astounding quantity of information. Furthermore, memories are retained for both short-term and long-term usage at the same time, allowing us to access a great quantity of knowledge anytime we need it.

In Paris, there are more than 300,000 dogs. Dogs are unquestionably man's best friend, but Parisians take it to a whole new level. In Paris, people sincerely care about their pets, spending nearly half a million dollars to ensure their dogs receive the greatest care; it's not uncommon to see their owners giving their pups to a doggie spa session. We adore dogs here at MEININGER, so bring them along when you travel; they are more than welcome to stay in our hotels.

Glass is one of the most durable and resilient man-made materials.

In the United Kingdom, nearly £368 million is spent on whole cakes each year, which includes birthday cakes! That's nearly £1 million worth of cake per day, which is a lot of cake (and even more candles). When you extrapolate this to the entire world, you'll discover that people eat between 50 and 100 million birthday cakes every single day, not just once a year.

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.
