Walt's personal favorite song was a ballad called "Feed the Birds," which is from the Mary Poppins movie and is one of the many upbeat hits from Disney films over the years.

Is anyone familiar with British expressions like "excellent" innings? How many innings does he have? Cricket was the inspiration behind it. The expression refers to someone who made a decent attempt or lasted a long time, as a result of cricket's "innings," which allow the player to achieve a large number of runs. Remember the origins of cricket the next time someone uses the phrase "good innings"!

Fatal familial insomnia is a rare hereditary condition caused by a protein produced as a result of a genetic defect.

When most people hear the word "hypnosis," they immediately think of stage hypnosis. This is the popular show in which a hypnotist selects seemingly random people, puts them to sleep, and then forces them to perform hilarious (and somewhat mean) tricks for laughs.

The latter is a recognised form of therapy that assists people in overcoming various ailments through a relaxed mind and strategic suggestion.

Do you believe The Walking Dead is a work of fiction? It is, but the government wants to be ready for a real-life version in any case. In 2011, the 31-page Counter-Zombie Dominance Plan, or CONPLAN 8888-11, was created. And, lest you think it's strange bureaucratic humour, the first sentence says, "This plan was not truly created as a joke."

More than 40% of new cars sold in the UK now are diesel, up from 13% or so a little more than ten years ago. In the UK, there are currently 12 million diesel vehicles on the road. Government incentives based on the lower carbon emissions and higher fuel economy of diesel compared to gasoline are mostly to blame for this. Diesel vehicles produce significantly more dangerous NOx than their petrol-powered counterparts.

At first, the iPhone was not going to be a smartphone. Steve Jobs actually told his engineers to explore the idea of touchscreen and tablets. Because there were no touchscreen gadgets at the moment. Later, the engineers came with some prototype to Steve Jobs of their touchscreen tablet. However, he liked the design and told the engineers to make a smartphone instead. Because at that time, there were no tablets in the market, and Steve Jobs thought that a new type of device might not be successful. However, later, they obviously made the iPad.

When the city was in the hands of the Portuguese, they saw it was a natural water bay. Hence, they called it ‘Bom Bhaia,’ the Portuguese term for ‘good bay.’ Later, Bombay was given to the British as dowry when a Portuguese princess married an English prince. They renamed the city, Bombay. And that’s how the city got its name!

The Korean alphabet is known as Hangul. King Sejong the Great designed it in the 15th century. Koreans have previously employed the Chinese alphabet and characters (called Hanja).

Centipede is a Latin word that means "hundred legs," but that name is actually quite deceptive. Since centipedes only have one set of legs per body segment and they are always oddly shaped, they can never have exactly 100 legs. Each species of centipede has a different number of legs. Some species only have 15 pairs, while others have 177 pairs!

The Spaniards celebrate Christmas, the New Year, and the Three Wise Men feast during the winter holidays. This time of the year is very special and they live it intensely. A fun fact about Spain is that it is traditional to eat twelve grapes at a time to receive the new year. It is more difficult than it seems, but the Spaniards swear that achieving that gives good luck for the rest of the year.
