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."

Scientists can detect whether a gene has been effectively inserted into an animal's DNA by adding some type of clearly recognised marker to it. When testing an anti-FIV gene in 2011, scientists at the Mayo Clinic employed a fluorescent protein from a particular jellyfish. The tests were successful, however the cats did glow in the dark. In fact, these cats' offspring sparkle in the dark! Nonetheless, their accomplishment is only one step toward an ultimate solution for AIDS.

The mythical hero existed in real life. His given name was John Chapman, and he was from Leominster, Massachusetts. He also has a street named after him, however city planners believed that using his fabled name would be more poetic: Johnny Appleseed Lane.

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.

Being an astronaut is a serious profession, but they do allow for little fun every now and again. In space, "fun" activities, like as imbibing alcohol, are absolutely outlawed. However, astronauts have occasionally attempted to defy this regulation. Bottles of cognac have been "smuggled" into spacesuits by a few Russian cosmonauts. Smuggle because they couldn't lawfully transport the forbidden drug into space. They have acknowledged to mislabeling them as "juice bottles" or concealing them inside hollowed-out books. One determined astronaut concealed a little bottle in their blood pressure measurement device's wristband.

There is a lot of evidence that following a pattern for 66 days will make it habitual. If you want to be better at cleaning your house or going to the gym, make a concerted effort to do so for 66 days, after which it will become a habit and be easier to maintain (this also works for breaking habits).

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.

Apart from  butter-fingers, crossfire, dustbin, fairy story, slow-coach and whoosh, Charles Dickens is also credited with coining the term "boredom" in the Oxford English Dictionary, which he used in his novel Bleak House (1852-3), but this has since been traced back even further, to 1830.

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.

In the winter, street sellers offer ice cream from paper boxes on the street. At -30 degrees Celsius, there's no need for a freezer (-22 degrees Fahrenheit).

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.

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.

Men have selective hearing, it's a fact! They can only listen to their female partners for 6 minutes, but this time is more than doubled to 15 minutes when they talk to their male friends. Before you start blaming men for their lack of attention, keep in mind that women pay more attention to conversations with their friends than to conversations with their romantic partners.

Those enormous Stetsons you associate with cowboys like John Wayne, Billy the Kid, and Wyatt Earp? Yeah. Those were not worn by cowboys. In reality, the headgear of choice for nineteenth-century cowboys was a bowler hat.

The ability to forget is a sign of high intelligence. According to scientists, forgetting is equally important as remembering. "Bad memory" is a mechanism in your brain that allows you to make more room in your brain for more relevant information. It also prevents your brain from squandering space and energy.

You may hear people claim to be natural multitaskers, and you've probably even seen it in job descriptions, but humans simply cannot multitask. You can listen to music while working, but your brain can only handle one higher-functioning task at a time. That means you'll either be working and ignoring the music, or you'll be working and ignoring the music. People are incapable of thinking about two things at the same time.

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.

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!

Austrians celebrated their victory over Hungary during the 1848 revolution by clinking their drinks during a toast. Since then, Hungarians have avoided clinking their glasses while toasting since it reminds them of their loss. Instead, if you're drinking a beer in Hungary, say "Egészségedre" while looking your drinking companions in the eyes.

Walter Arnold of the English town of Paddock Wood, Kent, was the first person to be charged for speeding, according to Guinness World Records. On January 28, 1896, Arnold was caught driving four times the speed limit in his 19th-century Benz—but because the speed limit at the time was only two miles per hour, he wasn't travelling too fast by today's standards. The officer had to track him down on his bike, issuing a £4 7s penalty and earning Arnold the swift distinction.
