The American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the Canadian Falls, collectively known as Horseshoe Falls, straddle the boundary between Canada and the United States. The Niagara River, from which all three falls flow, gets water from four Great Lakes — Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie — before emptying into Lake Ontario.

It was HIGHLY SECRET work! Even the factory workers who put the vehicles together were kept in the dark. They were informed that they were developing mobile water tanks for desert warfare. Tanks were originally referred to as "landships," but this was changed to "tanks" in order to confuse the enemy.

You wouldn't anticipate centipedes to be perfect mothers given how brutal they are. Though it may come as a surprise, some species are actually fiercely protective of their young. In order to shield their eggs from predators until they hatch, females of the aforementioned species will encircle them. Some mothers will stay with their babies until they are old enough to leave the nest on their own, and these mothers will also clean the eggs to stop them from growing fungi.

In Tunisia, Islam is a major religion. The majority of residents are Sunni Muslims, with minority of Christianity and Judaism. It is easy to observe how Islam has made a presence in Tunisia. One of the most obvious features is a call to prayer that may be heard five times a day: at dawn, lunchtime, mid-afternoon, sunset, and evening. In Tunisia, there are around 5000 mosques. The way people dress differs greatly depending on where you are. It is normal to see more western style attire in tourist locations, however in traditional places such as southern Tunisia and smaller villages, a more respectable form of dressed is recommended.

The term "Eskimo kiss" is well known, and it is not unusual to see non-Inuit couples express their love in this way. The Inuit do, nonetheless, employ a slightly different version of this gesture to greet their significant others, children, and parents. In fact, however, they do not rub their noses together in order to kiss. The Inuit are genuinely smelling each other's cheeks and hair, as opposed to what you have likely experienced while participating in a so-called Eskimo kiss. This behaviour is called kunik.

There was another film before we saw Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. There was a television film version of Doctor Strange in 1978, intended to set the ground for a TV series that never materialized. Even though it was unpopular, few recognise it as a part of the series, owing to the fact that the tale focuses on his employment as a doctor and his desire to earn his powers, rather than using them.

An English writer named Frank Beringer established the popular meal of millennials in 1895, when he wrote an essay titled "Brunch: a Plea" in Hunter's Weekly newspaper. In his piece, he presented a "brunch" alternative to the usual Sunday supper.

The blue whale is the world's largest living creature, dwarfing even the largest dinosaurs. Blue whales can grow to be over 100 feet long and weigh more than 100 tonnes. Their hearts are the size of a small car and can weigh up to 1,300 pounds. Blue whales have massive arteries that pump blood through their massive hearts and into their vital organs, which is unsurprising. These arteries are so large that a fully grown human could swim through them; however, you should not attempt this.

Another interesting Egyptian football fact. There are two clubs that are great rivals yet share the same venue, similar to how A.C Milan and Inter Milan share the same stadium while being rivals in Italy!
