If the Bible contains the earliest reference to the passport, the origin of the two French words 'passer' + 'port' meaning "to pass through a port" dates from the 15th century.

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!

There was a television film version of Doctor Strange in 1978, intended to set the ground for a TV series that never materialized.

Consider space to be a stretched rubber sheet with intersecting grid lines. When you set something on the sheet, it sinks somewhat. The larger the thing on the sheet, the deeper it sinks. The sinking effect alters the grid lines, causing them to become curved rather than straight. The farther you drill into space, the more space bends and curves. And black holes create the deepest wells. Nothing, not even light, has enough energy to climb back out of a black hole, which creates such a deep abyss in space.

When railway tracks were being laid during the 18th century, oil traces were found in Digboi, which led to the first oil well being dug in the city.

According to Formula1, the most common type of injury is head and neck injuries. Formula One has attempted to reduce this type of damage by requiring very high standards for the drivers' helmets. The first need is that a Formula One helmet be exceedingly light. This advancement creates the problem of developing a product that is also as tough as it has to be. The helmets must pass a series of fragmentation and deformation tests to guarantee that they fulfill the stringent criteria. Because of its strength, carbon fibre is the principal material used to build Formula One helmets. The exterior shell is made up of two layers, the majority of which are made of carbon fibre.

 Rorschach invented the inkblot test, which consisted of ten splotchy cards, to detect mental disease. According to Damion Searls, author of The Inkblots, a history of Rorschach and his invention, no surviving memoranda or notes reveal Rorschach's technique for making the cards or what data or sources he may have utilized to create them. According to Searls, Rorschach subsequently stated simply that "empirical observations" guided the blots and that he had "no explanation for why the test functioned at all."
