What you conceive of as a wonderful city today has a lengthy and little-known past. Some long-held hypotheses hold that London was founded by Romans around the year 50 AD. The origin of its name is likewise a mystery. London was known by several names throughout history, including Londonium, Ludenwic, and Ludenberg. The most widely accepted explanation is that the name London is derived from the old Celtic word "Londinous," which meaning "brave."

London is a significant cultural and historical centre, and museums could not be overlooked in this regard. If you get the opportunity to visit this great city, you will undoubtedly miss out on a lot if you do not stop by one of them. Among these are the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Imperial War Museum, the British Library, and the Wallace Collection.

The lone resident of Monowi, Nebraska, is 83 years old. She is the mayor, librarian, and bartender of the city. Elsie Eiler is her name, she pays her own taxes, and she considers individuals who live 40 miles away to be her neighbours.

There are more British actors in Lagaan than in the primary cast: Lagaan, the highest-grossing film of 2001, contains several unknown facts, one of which is that it included the most British actors ever cast in a single film in the history of Bollywood cinema.

Waheeda Rahman has played both Amitabh Bachchan's mother and lover. In 'Adalat,' she played his love interest, and in 'Trishul,' she played his mother (1978).

Did you realise that the word "Pennsylvania" is misspelt on the Liberty Bell? Actually, worded incorrectly is perhaps a bit harsh: when the bell was constructed in 1752, it was one of several permissible spellings. The ancestors of the United States also committed several obvious language errors in the Constitution.

Wilbur and Orville Wright, popularly known as the Wright Brothers, are famed for inventing the aeroplane, which may lead you to assume they were a well-educated couple, however none of them graduated from college. The discovery gained the brothers fame and money, and thankfully for them, they did not live to become one of those innovators who regretted their creations.

Alaska, the biggest state in the United States, was sold for a total of $7.2 million, or roughly 2 cents per acre. In 1867, the state was bought. America made its $7.2 million investment back more than 100 times over in the 50 years that followed. Talk about a good investment.

USA's present 50-star flag was created by 17-year-old Robert Heff as part of a high school project. It was 1958, and there were only 48 states at the moment, but Heft had a feeling Hawaii and Alaska would get statehood shortly. His teacher gave him a B- but later raised the mark to an A after Heft submitted his design to the White House, resulting in a call from President Eisenhower announcing that it had been chosen as the official U.S. flag.

Leonardo da Vinci, the ideal of the Renaissance man, was a talented musician as well as a skilled painter. In addition to playing the lyre and the flute, he sang regularly at noble meetings and at the palaces of his benefactors. Some of his musical creations are also included in his surviving manuscripts.

At the time of his birth, Leonardo's full name was Lionardo di ser Piero da Vinci, which translates as "Leonardo, (son) of ser Piero from Vinci." To his contemporaries, he was simply known as Leonardo or "Il Florentine" — since he resided close to Florence.

Leonardo was born on 14/15 April 1452 at a farmhouse outside the hamlet of Anchiano in Tuscany, the son of Ser Piero, a rich Florentine notary, and Caterina, an unmarried peasant woman. They had 12 other children with other partners, but Leonardo was their sole kid together. Because of his illegitimacy, he was not expected to follow in his father's footsteps and become a notary. He was instead free to pursue his own interests and enter the creative arts.

A palindromic number is just a number that is the same reverse as it is forwards, for example, 23432.
So, if we multiply 1 by 1, we get 1. Okay, that was a lazy palindrome; let's move on.
11x11 = 121, 111x111 = 12321, 1111x1111 = 1234321, and so on.

Multiplying 111111111 by 111111111 yields 12345678987654321.
Furthermore, the two integers you are multiplying do not have to have the same amount of ones. For instance, 11x1111 = 12221 and

Various people have told me that this has been used as an interview question by many firms to assess "out-of-the-box thinking." The "secret" here is to think of a cake as a three-dimensional cylinder rather than a two-dimensional circle, as most people do. This enables us to not only perform vertical cuts, but also horizontal cuts. So, if you use two of your cuts to make a cross on the top of the cake, effectively dividing it into four equal parts, and your third cut as a horizontal cut across the centre of the cake, thereby dividing each of the four equal portions in half, you'll have eight equal pieces.

Because the moon lacks an atmosphere, there is no wind or water to erode or wash away the Apollo astronauts' imprint. That implies their footprints, roverprints, spacecraft prints, and waste stuff will be maintained for a very long period on the moon. They will not, however, remain there indefinitely. The moon is still a changing environment. It is regularly pummelling with "micrometeorites," which indicates that erosion is still occurring on the moon, although slowly.

In the good ol' USA, around 300 billion pizzas are sold each year. Not only that, but 93 percent of Americans have eaten pizza in the last month, according to a recent survey. Around the Super Bowl, there is a significant increase in pizza delivery sales. It doesn't get any more American than that! Unfortunately, there is no official statistics on how many of those pies were devoured as a result of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos' "Two Pizza Rule."

Area 51 is a government-owned piece of property in the United States that is considered to be the site of intense extraterrestrial activity. But did you know that in the Marvel reality, Iron Man really owns Area 51? Iron Man bought Area 51 from the government and used it as a safe haven for the reality jewel.

It's Mulligatawny soup, to be exact. This is seen in Batman #701, as Alfred serves a fatigued Batman his favourite comfort meal. This dish is famous in British India and originates in South Indian cuisine.

In the 1970s and later series, Batman firmly adhered to this guideline, and he frowns on other superheroes who do the same. This, however, was not always the case. Batman had previously slain countless villains in prior incarnations of the comics, including the iconic Joker in Batman 1.

Kratos is a video game character, although he is also based on literary works from Ancient Greek mythology. Cratus is Pallas and Styx's son. Pallus and Styx are respective war gods and underworld goddesses, while the name "Kratos" is also related with things like "strong" and "power." Although Kratos is inspired by his Ancient Greek counterpart, the two are not identical. Kratos despises the other gods and has an insatiable drive for power, whereas Cratus is an enforcer of the celestial throne.

Lex Luthor is the polar opposite of Superman. Instead of a living deity with limitless might, he is a normal mortal who ascended to power by his immense knowledge. That same intelligence convinces him that Superman is a menace to humanity who must be revealed and eliminated at all costs. In non-canon realities such as Injustice and the "Batman/Superman: Absolute Power" narrative, Superman becomes an absolute dictator of Earth, destroying anybody who resists his dictatorship. Even in official continuity, he has periodically succumbed to grandiose illusions that threaten to bring the entire globe under his despotic domination.

Wonder Woman is one of the most powerful DC superheroes, possessing superhuman strength that puts her on par with Superman. She has even surpassed Supergirl, who is frequently seen as more powerful than Superman, however Wonder Woman's Amazonian warrior training does help her. It was long assumed that her silver bracelets, made from the fragments of Zeus' shield, enhanced her abilities because they are indestructible and may be used offensively. In the New 52, Wonder Woman removes her bracelets to battle a God, stating that the bracelets are what protect her opponents from her great strength.

We've already discussed Marvel and DC's relationship, but did you know about this fascinating crossover fact? Mjolnir can be wielded by Wonder Woman! Being able to handle Thor's renowned difficult-to-use divine weapon is a symbol of immense power and worth, a test that Diana has easily conquered in the comics. Who is taken aback?
