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."

If you like crunching ice after finishing your Coke, you may be anaemic. The persistent chewing of ice, also known as "pagophagia," may be more than simply a nervous tick, but a technique of cooling inflammation in the mouth caused by a shortage of iron. So, if you enjoy nibbling on those cubes, get yourself to a doctor as soon as possible.

In the 13th century, Pope Gregory IV waged war against cats. He said that black cats were Satan's tools. He commanded the annihilation of these felines throughout Europe as a result of this notion. This strategy, however, backfired, resulting in a rise in the number of plague-carrying rats.

It may be difficult to believe, but we have roughly the same number of hairs on our bodies as chimps; the difference is that our hairs are useless, being so fine that they are almost invisible. We're not sure why we lost our furry protection. It has been proposed that this was done to help early humans sweat more easily, to make life more difficult for parasites like lice and ticks, or even because our ancestors were partially aquatic.

When people meet for the first time, colour recognition accounts for the vast majority of their first impressions. According to studies, those who consistently wear neutral or black make fewer positive first impressions, whereas those who wear brighter colours are more likely to form friendly bonds. Wearing hints of red (for women) or blue (for men) on a first date may result in stronger feelings and a definite second date, whereas those who wear black to a job interview are more likely to be hired.

Apple has various devices like iPad, iPod, Mac, watch, and more. However, the most popular of them all is the iPhone. They reported that they have got revenue of about 25.99 billion USD for Q3 2019 from the sales of the iPhone.

Unfortunately, Apple has officially announced that they will not share the iPhone sales figure anymore back on November 1, 2018. So, we actually don’t the current sales figures of the iPhone. However, we can tell you the number from 2007 to 2018, though. Reports say that Apple has sold over 2.3 billion units of iPhone in this period. And, they sold about 220 million iPhones in 2018 alone.

A translator rewrote the story in the 1600s. When the prince attempted to follow Cinderella, Aschenputtel (Cinderella) lost her left shoe at the stairwell.

Another fascinating Russian truth is that Russians learn not to grin as they get older. While many cultures consider smiling to be a sign of happiness and friendliness, Russians do not. Smiling, according to Russians, is a sign of weakness and not expressing one's actual sentiments. Russians grin when they see individuals they know and care about, but not when they see strangers, as many other cultures do. If you smile at a Russian on the street, don't expect them to reciprocate the favour; nevertheless, while driving around Russia, we noticed that many Russians smiled and waved back.

Women, believe it or not, are more vulnerable to liver disease such as hepatitis (an inflammation of the liver) and are more likely to die from liver cirrhosis (a chronic disease). Women are also more likely to suffer from alcohol-related brain damage, such as loss of mental functions and reduced brain size.

Scientists from Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research discovered that shivering in the cold for 10 minutes burns more fat than a one-hour workout. These new discoveries build on a past study into brown fat, a kind of fat tissue that consumes energy rather than storing it. So Start shivering...

Russia, you never cease to astonish me. A diner whose sole employees are identical twins, you may add, and they will respond, "Yes, we have that too." You read that correctly, this café in Russia's lovely city, Moscow, is a must-see for any visitor who arrives since both the cost and the cuisine are excellent. In addition, only twins take, prepare, and serve your order. That is unusual since it is the only restaurant in the world that hires only twins. Another fantastic guideline is that the twins must wear absolutely similar clothing. The owner is reported to have had the idea after seeing the film "Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors."

Apple actually approached Verizon to collaborate in the making of the iPhone. However, Verizon had some conditions that were not liked by Apple. Thus they reached out to ‘Cingular Wireless’(AT&T Mobility)with the proposal. And, both parties agreed to all the terms and conditions and started to work on the project secretively. After working for over 2 and a half years, Apple unveiled the iPhone. The estimated development cost of the iPhone was about 150 million USD.

Life is a difficult and dirty affair. If you don't want to lose brain cells, you might want to skip this calorie-burning tip. A 45-minute stroll with your dog would be a safer method to burn 150 calories.

The "Pygmalion effect" or "Rosenthal effect" refers to the phenomenon that higher expectations can increase performance. Professor Robert Rosenthal was the first to demonstrate it. In a California elementary school, he conducted an experiment and discovered that when teachers are made aware of students who have a high chance of success, their expectations rise. As a result, they paid special attention to those students and sometimes treated them differently. Essentially, the teachers subconsciously acted differently toward those students, which promotes their success. This has a positive impact on the student, and their performance improves as a result.

iPhone was released in the USA on 29 June 2007. At that time, 2 models of the iPhone were released. The difference between the two models was in the internal storage and the price. The 4 GB model was priced at $499 and the 8 GB model was priced at $599. Tens of thousands of people waited days before the launch for the iPhone in front of the AT&T and Apple retail stores for buying the iPhone. Matter of fact, lots of stores reported stock shortage within half an hour of the release.

Scientists from the University of Birmingham investigated bikers aged 55 to 79 who ride their bikes for many hours each day. These researchers discovered that cycling in old age keeps muscle mass and strength from deteriorating. And the fat and cholesterol levels remained constant. However, the most incredible discovery is that cyclists' systems generate immunological T-cells in equal numbers to 20-year-olds. It's incredible since T-cell production begins to decline around the age of 20. This demonstrates that riding a bicycle makes the immune system younger.

This occurred while he was shooting "127 Hours." According to legend, Franco enrolled in an NYU acting class where the teacher gave him a "D." He was working 127 hours at the time. Another aspect of this incident is that the professor was eventually sacked for assigning a "D" grade to Franco's paper.

To obey authority figures, people will go to great, and sometimes dangerous, lengths. Stanley Milgram, a psychologist, discovered in his famous obedience experiments that people would be willing to deliver a potentially fatal electrical shock to another person if the experimenters ordered them to.

You may or may not be aware that love can result in strong infatuation. The same serotonin levels reported in persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder, an anxiety disorder, are found in those with infatuation. This is most likely why you can't seem to think of anyone else while you're in love.

When you burp on Earth, gravity keeps the solids and liquids from the food you just ate at bay, allowing only the gas to leave your mouth. Because the gas cannot separate from the liquids and particles in the absence of gravity, burping effectively becomes vomit.

John Duns Scotus, a thirteenth-century philosopher, believed that wearing a pointed cap would help spread knowledge from the tip to the brain, and his "Dunsmen" followers wore them as a badge of honour. However, his ideas became less popular in the 1500s, and the meaning of the Duns cap was turned on its head, becoming something of a joke.

Stubbs, an orange cat, was named honorary mayor of the Alaskan town of Talkeetna in 1997. With a population of 772 in 2000, it would not have taken many votes to win the position (and the small town didn't have a real, human mayor anyway), but Stubbs proved adept at the role, gaining fans from all over the world and "serving" in the position for years, greeting tourists and becoming a beloved symbol of the town until his death in 2017.

Guns and tiny toddlers are the ideal mix for having fun. A terrific location to take your kids, ages 12 to 18, that is completely safe. Simply purchase a ticket for them and they are set to enjoy their time at the military "Disney" camp. Despite the fact that this location is officially affiliated with Disney, the character of this "amusement park" is everything from childlike. Professionals teach children how to handle assault and sniper rifles and even introduce them to bare-handed fighting. Every day that they stay there, they practise their survival abilities, as the campers typically take on an obstacle course and form teams for sporting contests after breakfast.

This study was inspired by evidence obtained from wrongful conviction cases. The study involved interviewing adult suspects in a comfortable setting and employing poor memory retrieval techniques. Within three hours, the suspects had been interrogated in ways that led them to believe in and confess to crimes they had not committed. They were even able to vividly describe the events, and some of them believed they had committed a crime as serious as assault with a weapon as teenagers. Are you willing to be persuaded?
