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!

When Chaim Weizmann, Israel's first president, died in 1952, the Prime Minister invited Einstein to fill the (mostly ceremonial) office. The scientist said no, writing: "I am extremely affected by our State of Israel's offer, and I am both heartbroken and humiliated that I cannot accept it.

Another fascinating truth about Russia is that Russians, in general, have a lot of superstitions and customs. One of the most prevalent customs is to gift flowers only in odd numbers.

The Russians think that if you put your clothing on inside out, you will be defeated.

When Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone, the local time was 9:42 at that time in San Francisco, California.

Psychologists have examined a phenomena known as reactance, which states that when individuals think that particular liberties are being taken away, they not only break the law, but break it significantly more than they would normally in order to reclaim their freedom.

When explaining behaviour, we often attribute positive outcomes to internal factors and negative outcomes to external forces. When it comes to other people's actions, however, we usually attribute them to internal characteristics. For example, if we receive a poor grade on a paper, it is the fault of the teacher; if a classmate receives a poor grade, it is because he did not study diligently enough. The actor-observer bias refers to this tendency.

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.

First and foremost, we're not debating whether ham and pineapple belong on a pizza. Sam Panopoulos immigrated to Canada from Greece in 1954. In Chatham, Ontario, he worked as a cook at the Satellite Restaurant. Panopoulos came up with the notion of using canned pineapple on pizza in 1962. His inspiration for this unusual combo came from Chinese Sweet and Sour style food. Because of the odd fruity component, the Hawaiian pizza was first disliked. However, as people tried it, the new topping quickly became a popular option all around the world! Hawaiian pizza has nothing to do with the Hawaiian Islands. It was called after the brand of canned pineapples that they first used.

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.

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.

If you like crunching ice after finishing your Coke, you may be anaemic.
