Lao-Lao is a powerful rice whiskey produced in Laos that costs less than a dollar per liter! The spirit is the cheapest in the world and can be found in any corner store, a mom-and-pop business, or market across the country. However, before you get too thrilled, the extremely low price has its own set of consequences. It tastes like a bottle of Methylated Spirits, has caused blindness on extremely rare occasions, and is a sure bet that you won't recall the events of the previous night. Of course, this is all hearsay. Take this as a warning.

San Marino has never been invaded and has always maintained its independence. Cesare Borgia attempted unsuccessfully to seize it in the 1500s and 1700s, and it even resisted joining the Papal State. Fortunately, when the Napoleonic army came in the 18th century, San Marino was a political entity with a republican government. They retained its autonomy while also making economic concessions to it. The three distinctive towers of the old town, which are also featured on the flag, represent the tenacity of the Republic.

But remember to haggle the price before entering!

One of the few whale species with unfused cervical neck vertebrae is the beluga. They have highly flexible necks as a result of this, and their heads may move in all directions.

In any case, Athena had to avenge her house’s desecration. However, Poseidon was immortal and older than her. Therefore, Medusa had to take the punishment even though she was the victim. Athena turned Medusa from a beautiful maiden into a hideous beast, unable to stare someone in the eye without turning them into stone. The hair that once attracted compliments as the source of her beauty became venomous snakes. Medusa was now a Gorgon.

Jack Ryan started his career as an engineer, building missiles for the Pentagon, but was eventually hired away by Mattel for his "space-age savvy" and material knowledge (meaning he'd be able to make high-quality, well-functioning toys).

Although this was not the final version, the prototype is still available. It is presently safely stored someplace in Detroit.

If you think your current steering wheel is complex, wait till you see what Formula One drivers have to deal with. Their steering wheels can have up to 25 buttons. Every button and switch controls every part of the vehicle, giving the driver complete control. It is even stated that pressing the wrong button might lose a race. To put that into context, some buttons alter the way the brakes operate, allowing the balance to be adjusted in split seconds. These modifications might cause the automobile to behave differently from corner to corner. Talk about power!

Because cricket is a noncontact activity, injuries and deaths are exceedingly uncommon when compared to motorsports and boxing, among other sports. Despite this, there have been tragic incidents.
