Despite having fewer than 1,000 recognized citizens, the Vatican has the highest crime rate of any country in the world. However, this is not because it has a higher crime rate than other countries, but because it has a higher crime rate per population. These crimes are typically committed by the millions of visitors that pass through the region. Shoplifting, purse snatching, and pickpocketing are the most prevalent crimes, and the official Vatican tourism website advises guests to remain vigilant at all times.

The Incas were skilled engineers who were able to construct the complete fortress of Machu Picchu without the use of cement. Instead, they adopted a method known as ashlar, which involves carefully cutting stones such that they lay on top of one another with no gap between them.

There is no clear link between a full moon and howling wolves. Wolves communicate by howling, and they elevate their heads to make the sound go further. Wolves may also howl in full darkness.

Driving may be a pleasant and freeing experience—until you get trapped at a red light. According to the National Association of City Transportation Officials, the average time spent waiting at a red light is 75 seconds, accounting for around 20% of total travel time. That's a lot of time spent doing nothing, and yet another reason to use public transportation.

Insomniacs are frequently prescribed sleeping medications. According to the National Sleep Foundation, one in every four Americans takes sleeping medication each year.

He did not write about relativity in the same way that Einstein did. But Galileo realised that motion is relative—that your impression of motion is affected by both your own movement and the movement of the thing you're looking at. Indeed, if you were imprisoned inside a windowless cabin aboard a ship, you would have no means of knowing whether the ship was immobile or travelling at a constant speed. These concepts would be food for thought for the youthful Einstein more than 250 years later.

Instead of feeling bad about your limiting ideas, seek to recognize and change them. Cutting-edge genetic research demonstrates why you should not blame yourself for bad attitudes that prevent you from manifesting properly. Scientists in Atlanta discovered that when mice link the aroma of cherry blossom with an electric shock, they become so sensitive to the scent that they transmit their fear to their offspring via genetic coding. This means that even mice that did not receive a shock will be terrified of the aroma of cherry blossom. Furthermore, brain imaging studies demonstrate that this anxiety is represented by the presence of certain neurological receptors.

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!

Archaeological discoveries suggest that this dog existed around 4500 years ago. A Pariah dog skull from 2500 BCE was discovered during excavations at the Mohenjo-Daro site in the Sindh region of Pakistan (home to the Indus Valley civilization). Pariah dogs may be among the world's oldest canine breeds, according to numerous cave drawings found throughout the Indian subcontinent.

People used typewriters to deliver their messages professionally before computers existed. The first Hindi-language typewriter was introduced in the 1930s. It is primarily utilized for government purposes.

The films remain ambiguous on Natasha Romanov's age, simply implying that she is old enough to have been nurtured by the KGB. In the comics, though, she has been able to survive for decades thanks to different medical operations and pieces of biotechnology. As the KGB fades from memory, it's increasingly likely that the youthful Natasha is considerably older than she appears. She's reported to be 70 years old in the comics!
