When you're waiting in line for the Indiana Jones ride, take a moment to peek into Indiana's office. The props in the office are genuine Indiana Jones memorabilia.

The Brahmaputra is considered to be among the most majestic rivers in the world. The Brahmaputra enters India in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, where it is called Siang. It makes a very rapid descent from its original height in Tibet, and finally appears in the plains, where it is called Dihang. It flows for about 35 km (22 mi) and is joined by the Dibang River and the Lohit River at the head of the Assam Valley. Below the Lohit, the river is called Brahmaputra, enters the state of Assam, and becomes very wide—as wide as 10 km (6 mi) in parts of Assam.

Most ancient Greek women were discouraged from wearing lipstick. Harlots, on the other hand, were encouraged to apply lip color in order to be clearly identifiable. In fact, the original lipstick legislation condemned harlots who appeared in public without lipstick to jail time. The Greeks believed that by wearing a bare lip, harlots might fool men into thinking they were ladies, demonstrating that even thousands of years ago, lipstick was associated with sensuality and was used as a justification to separate and subjugate women. Crocodile dung, sheep sweat, and red dye were among the materials in the Greek light paint recipe. Were they forced to use crocodile dung? Evidently, yeah.

First Impressions was the working title for Pride and Prejudice. Yes, the title was chosen as part of a branding strategy designed to increase sales, with publishers opting for a "if-you-liked-that-you'll-love-this" approach. By sticking to the noun-and-noun formula to ca$h in those book sales, Jane Austen's blockbuster sales of Sense and Sensibility encouraged this name change.

Stringed instruments, such as the violin, have a series of stretched strings on them. When you press down on one of the strings, its length changes and it vibrates at different frequencies, producing varied sounds. A brief stroke on a metallic string produces a loud sound, whereas a long stroke produces mellow music. The thickness of the string is also important, as it controls the strength of the sound.

Fog is composed of tiny water droplets suspended in a cloud on the ground that contains up to 0.5 ml of water per cubic metre. To illustrate, if you filled an Olympic-sized swimming pool with fog and then condensed it, you would be left with approximately 1.25 litres of water (or just over 2 pints).

Because of 150 years of British colonial control, Chinese cultural traditions combine nicely with Western cultural values in Hong Kong. Feng-shui traditions are extensively practiced, as are other spiritual beliefs such as the belief that the numbers 3, 5, and 8 are auspicious and bring good fortune.

Blue eyes and red hair are the most unusual combination on the planet. The majority of (natural) redheads have brown eyes, followed by hazel or green.

While the core games' stories span around 821 years, from the first Assassin's Creed in 1191 to around 2012 and Desmond Miles' modern-day plot, Ubisoft has constructed a large, Star Wars Expanded Universe-style backstory loaded with mythology and intertwined with historical events. According to the publisher, the first known assassin was Xerxes, who assassinated King Darius of Persia, according to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, indicating that the custom dates back millennia.

In 1970, Pope Benedict XVI was given an organ donor card. The card became invalid when he was elected Pope in 2005, according to the Telegraph. The Pope's entire body, according to the Vatican, must be buried intact because his body belongs to the universal Catholic Church.

In any case, it's not a conventional sphinx. Although greatly influenced by Egyptian and later Mesopotamian legend, the ancient Greek representation of the Sphinx consisted of a lion's body, a woman's head, and a bird's wings. Technically, Giza's male-identifying landmark is an androsphinx. The absence of wings further complicates its recognised classification.

Lipstick is more ancient than you would imagine. It actually dates back to Queen Shubad of ancient Sumeria. The queen wore lip paint consisting of crushed red pebbles and white lead. The queen's stylish crimson lip was not her only historical contribution. When Shubad's tomb was unearthed in Ur in the 1920s, experts were astounded at the wealth on show. The tomb also housed the remains of 23 female servants who were executed for the sole purpose of being buried close to the queen so that they may serve her in the afterlife.

It’s true, cats were considered sacred animals in ancient Egypt. And from what I could see from our visits to Egypt they are still cared for and revered. Our guesthouse in Cairo had plenty of cats hanging out on its rooftop terrace that we enjoyed cuddling with. Cats were thought to bring good luck and they were so revered that when a cat died, the pharaohs had them mummified. As a cat lover, I can relate.

Work and friendship can coexist. Having friends helps you find work and be more happy, creative, productive, and competitive at work, according to various studies. Some people in India and Indonesia claim that their coworkers understand them better than their other friends or even their spouse. However, you must exercise caution because not everyone at work is treated equally.

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.

Have you ever heard of sharing the DNA with Gorillas? But yes, we do. We share 98% of our DNA with Gorillas. This means that exposure to human illnesses, even a cold, can negatively impact the Gorillas as they are so much similar to us, genetically. Still, they haven't developed the necessary immunities. Interesting, isn't it?

If you add salt to your milk, it will last longer. Adding a pinch of salt or baking soda to each carton as soon as you open it will keep milk fresh for more than a week after it has expired. The active ingredients preserve the milk, preventing it from spoiling as quickly as it would otherwise. You could also put it in the freezer!

Books are an interesting market in part because they offer a 100% return policy. So, if a publisher sells 50 copies of a fresh new book to, say, Target or a local independent bookshop, that company has the option of returning all 50 copies to the publishing house if they don't sell. Isn't that crazy? 50 copies aren't much, but when you get into the hundreds, you can see how this can be a difficult market to predict.

UNESCO designated kimchi and its traditional practices as intangible cultural heritage of Korea in 2015. Every year, just before winter, families, and communities meet to make kimchi from copious harvests. Kimjang is the name given to this grand event. This is a chance for the community to come together. Participants use this opportunity to discuss, exchange, and establish relationships in addition to joining forces to prepare for winter. Even though many families have switched to commercial kimchis, kimjang festivities remain significant in some locations.

Around 1904, a little child called Robert Eugene Otto, sometimes known as "Gene," had a strange-looking boy doll named Robert. Robert the Doll is supposed to be haunted, aware of his surroundings, and even responsible for a number of violent catastrophes. The film Child's Play was based on Robert's storey.

The first Jane Austen fan fiction was written in an 1823 letter to the editor of The Lady's Magazine, in which Austen appeared as a character. The letter writer claims to want to know more about being a successful writer and consults Jane Austen's ghost for advice. Harvard University owns the first Austen dissertation, "Jane Austen's Novels," which was published in 1883 by George Pellew.

Tulsi leaf extract has been demonstrated to reduce blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes patients.

People with type 1 diabetes have immune systems that attack the insulin-producing cells in their pancreas for reasons that remain a scientific mystery. As a result, the cells are unable to produce insulin, which is necessary for other cells to access the bloodstream's glucose for energy. The bloodstream then becomes unhealthyly high in sugar. Conversely, those who have type 2 diabetes can still produce some insulin, but not enough. As a result of their cells developing insulin resistance (often as a result of obesity), glucose builds up in the bloodstream.

Eczema is not a contagious condition, despite how unpleasant it may appear when it flares up. Both of you and the other person cannot contract eczema from the other.
