It's extremely unusual, yet it has happened. The event known as "coffin birth" happens when a pregnant woman dies and her kid is born spontaneously owing to gases that build up in the abdominal area, placing pressure on the mother's uterus and driving the baby through the birth pathway. According to Smithsonian, one example of this was discovered in the grave of a mediaeval woman who was buried in Italy in 2010.

Seattle residents Peter Cicero and Richard Sclafani are credited with inventing the number-themed eyeglasses that are now seen at New Year's Eve parties around the world. According to the Wall Street Journal, their first set, which read "1991," sold 500 pairs. The following year, approximately 3000 sets were purchased.

According to research, the average attention span has shrunk by 12 minutes in the last decade. Human attention spans are now shorter than those of goldfish. Some research has even found a link between device multitasking — such as scrolling through social media while watching TV — and declining attention spans.

According to the National Library of Medicine in the United States, 12% of people only dream in black and white. People under the age of 25 say they almost never dream in black and white, whereas people over the age of 55 say they dream in colour about 75% of the time.

Fetuses with short protuberances have been observed as early as 16 weeks of gestation. While there haven't been enough studies to determine why this happens, some point to the age-old "use it or lose it" theory—the Los Angeles Times reported that periodic movements are required to keep the penile tissue oxygenated and healthy.

Traditionally, Russia was Moldova's largest export market, consuming up to 90% of its wine. However, a diplomatic conflict in 2006 resulted in a Russian ban on Moldovan and Georgian products, which has proved disastrous to the economies of both countries. Nonetheless, it is the world's 20th largest wine-producing country (as of 2014).

Why doesn't your stomach digest itself if it has so many enzymes and acids that it can digest a piece of meat? It turns out that it sort of does. The cells that line your stomach proliferate fast in order to replace the cells that are killed in the course of their everyday tasks. Every three days, we develop a new gut lining.

Despite having one of Europe's oldest histories, Italy has only been a country since 1861. Italy was a unified entity throughout the Roman era. It was thereafter separated into independent states, which it remained until 1861. Because of this lengthy history of individualism, the country now has such a diverse spectrum of cultural variants.

In terms of the most educated population, Ukraine ranks fourth in the world. 99.4% of Ukrainians aged 15 and up can read and write. 70% of adult Ukrainians have a secondary or higher level of education. Even Ukraine's current heavyweight champions, Vitali and Wladimir, have doctorates.

During the first year of being in a romance, a protein in our cells called Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) that is vital for the functions of particular sympathetic and sensory nerve cells, appears to thrive. During youthful love, our senses are heightened, and our fight or flight reaction system is activated.

In another University of Pennsylvania research, one group learnt about a starving small child, another about millions dying of hunger, and a third about both conditions. People gave more than twice as much money when they heard about the little girl as when they heard the statistics—and even those who heard her tale in the context of the larger tragedy gave less. Psychologists believe that we are predisposed to help the person in front of us, but when the situation feels too vast, we believe that our small contribution is insignificant.

If you don't like grapes, wearing crimson underwear on New Year's Eve is also said to bring good luck. The custom of wearing red underwear on December 31 is widespread, spanning Italy, Spain, Bolivia, and beyond. Everyone is welcome to take part; men and women alike follow the tradition. Participants also have a variety of clothing options as an added bonus. Others wear socks, bras, and garters, while some wear red boxers, briefs, or panties.

In the second millennium BC, ancient Egyptians described hysteria for the first time. The term 'hysteria' was coined by Hippocrates from the Greek adjective hysterikos, which means "from the womb." He blamed hysteria on the womb wandering within the female body, which caused anxiety, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, and a sense of suffocation. Hysteria was first associated with the brain in the 18th century, rather than the uterus. According to Sigmund Freud, it is caused by trauma and can affect both sexes. The DSM did not remove the concept of hysterical neurosis until 1980. Dissociative disorders are now thought to cause hysterical symptoms.

Examine the yellow block above for a long time. Is it dizzying after a while? Perhaps even nauseous? If this is the case, you are not alone. A number of studies have found that the colour yellow can make people feel dizzy and nauseated. As a result, it is frequently used sparingly (or very strategically) by those in advertising and is almost never used in the interiors of various modes of transportation, most notably aeroplanes.

Queen Elizabeth I used to use ceruse, a combination of white lead and vinegar, to paint her face. Despite how appealing these two components appear, you'll be surprised to learn that they are incredibly corrosive and ageing. "Those ladies that use it on their faces, do rapidly become withered and grey haired, for this doth so terribly dry up the naturall moisture of their flesh," one of her contemporaries observed of women who used ceruse. That sounds like a fantastic concept!

Robin Dunbar, a psychologist and the director of Oxford University's Social and Evolutionary Neuroscience research department, believes that every guy should spend at least two hours a week with 4-5 buddies. They can use this time any way they choose, from sports to going to bars. According to Dunbar, guys with faithful friends are less likely to be sad and have a better immune system.

The notion that Einstein struggled at school is a fiction. A pre-teen Einstein would study mathematics and physics for fun over the summers, finally mastering differential and integral calculus by the age of 15. But it doesn't mean he was a model student. Einstein despised rote learning and refused to study things that bore him. As a result, when the stubborn number-lover took the polytechnic school admission exam in Zurich, he flunked the language, zoology, and botany parts.

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.

People tend to seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs while ignoring information that contradicts their existing beliefs. This is referred to as confirmation of expectations. It contributes significantly to confirmation bias, a type of cognitive bias. This desire for confirmation causes us to avoid information that challenges our worldview.

Start counting those sheep, since sleep is crucial. Many of history's worst tragedies, such as Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, the Challenger explosion, and the Exxon Valdez oil leak, were caused by a lack of sleep.

People who have a full bladder are more convincing liars. A strong urge to use the restroom causes a person to focus on self-control, making lying more plausible. Furthermore, they attempt to prevent unnecessary movement. That's why scientists conducting a scientific experiment believed liars who needed to go to the bathroom.

Archaeologists uncovered a tablet in Iraq in 1976, which has since been lost. Researchers, on the other hand, were able to interpret and decipher the writing from an image of the tablet. What were the outcomes? We know the tablet contains jokes, but the complete context has been lost in translation. The world's oldest your mother joke is "...of your mother is by the one who has relations with her." "What or who is it?" Do we comprehend it? No way, but we know a "your mom" joke when we see one!

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.

Boys, more than girls, are more likely than girls to learn many lessons through experience rather than being told. This can make parenting them difficult, especially if you don't enjoy taking risks yourself. The most difficult challenge may be keeping them safe, so some risks must be avoided. It can also be difficult to be a support person as a parent when the lessons that boys learn bring hardship and tears.

During the Victorian era, there was a significant change in the way people dressed. The Victorian dress reform, also known as the rational dress movement, occurred between the 1860s and 1890s, during the middle and late Victorian eras. Reformers proposed, wore, and even designed clothing that was more practical and comfortable than what was available at the time.
