For many years, artist Bob Kane was credited as the sole creator of Batman, one of the most well-known superheroes of all time. However, writer Bill Finger was also instrumental in the character's development; according to Marc Tyler Nobleman's comic biography, Finger designed Batman's costume, wrote many of his early appearances, and devised his tragic origin story. Nonetheless, Finger, who died in 1974, was never properly recognised or compensated. Kane, on the other hand, negotiated a deal in which he would be credited as Batman's creator on every issue in which the character appeared, regardless of whether or not he worked on it.

The Roman Empire was created in 27 BC, while Rome was founded in 753 BC. Until 395 AD, the Empire governed Europe and parts of North Africa.

Elephants are extremely clever and simple to teach, making them ideal for use as executioners and torturers. They may be taught to use enormous blades connected to their tusks to slowly destroy bones, crush skulls, twist off limbs, or even execute people.

Can you imagine how irresistible it would be if it covered your walls? Engineer Al Fielding and Swiss inventor Marc Chavannes certainly didn't think about it when they created bubble wrap in 1957 while attempting to produce textured wallpaper by gluing two shower curtains together to capture air bubbles.

This well-known oil painting by Johannes Vermeer was completed in 1665. It shows a European girl in an exotic dress, an oriental turban, and what appears to be a large pearl earring. The beautiful girl in the painting is thought to be his eldest child Maria, who was also said to be his muse. She appears in other paintings by Johannes and bears an uncanny resemblance to the painting, though this theory has never been proven.

In a way. After Tobey Maguire was injured on the set of Seabiscuit, Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays the duplicitous and theatrical Quentin Beck/Mysterio, was rumoured to be taking over for him in 2004's Spider-Man 2. Maguire recovered in time to reprise his role as Peter Parker, so the point was moot. However, Gyllenhaal has admitted that he was one of several actors considered for the emergency fill-in role.

The Vent Haven Museum has a collection of vintage ventriloquist dummies.
Ventriloquist dolls can be quite creepy, and a museum containing hundreds of ventriloquist dolls is almost certainly a horror movie destination for many. The Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, houses over 900 ventriloquist dolls and other related items such as photographs and replicas.

Broccoli is classified as Brassica oleracea when it comes to seeds. Many other vegetables, including collard greens, kale, kohlrabi, and cauliflower, are also high in antioxidants. In fact, these plants are so closely related that pollinating insects can naturally cross-pollinate each other. When this happens, we occasionally get interesting new varieties like broccolini.

Known as ambergris, the excrement of sperm whales, which is rumoured to be a by-product of the whale trying to digest indigestible items, used to be very popular in perfumes. It has a sweet smell once it ages, which is why it is used in perfumes even now. But since it led to the hunting of sperm whales, it is now made synthetically.

The paralysis of voluntary muscles is characteristic of REM sleep. REM atonia is a condition that prevents you from acting out your dreams while you are sleeping.

Hypnotherapists are sought after for a variety of reasons. These include seeking help for overcoming fears and phobias, losing weight, dealing with negative and traumatising memories, insomnia, and quitting smoking. It has even been discovered that hypnotherapy can help labouring mothers by reducing pain during childbirth.

The Exorcist, based on William Peter Blatty's novel of the same name, was produced in 1973 and sparked quite an amount of controversy in the years preceding its release. For instance, when a bird flew into a circuit box, the set used as Regan MacNeil's home burnt to the ground. The only room that remained standing was the one where the exorcism took place. Even creepier, not only did actors get various injuries while making the film, but two of them died shortly after production ended—actors who played characters who perished onscreen. To make matters worse, when the film aired in Rome, lightning damaged a 400-year-old crucifix atop a local church, according to CBS News.
