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."

Einstein was leaving a ceremony in his honour on his 72nd birthday. Photographers begged him to grin for the camera as he was getting into his car. Einstein, on the other hand, was weary of smiling for photos—he'd be doing it all evening—so he stuck his tongue out instead. Einstein was so taken with the photograph that he had it printed as greeting cards.

The Salem witch trials took place between February 1692 and May 1693 in Salem, Massachusetts. Nearly 200 individuals, including the destitute, the elderly, and a four-year-old kid, were accused of witchcraft. The vast majority were imprisoned, and some were executed by hanging. However, none of these people were ever burned alive.

Do you consider all of your decisions, weighing all of your options and calculating the impact of each outcome? You may believe you are, but you are incorrect. The majority of your decisions are made subconsciously because your conscious mind would be overwhelmed with information and you would likely become mentally frozen. This is because your brain receives over 11 million bits of information every second, and there simply isn't enough "brainpower" to process it all consciously.

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.

Many Koreans were forced to fight for the Japanese cause, but one soldier is said to have fought for almost everyone. According to folklore, after fighting for the Imperial Japanese Army, Korean soldier Yang Kyoungjong was captured and forced to serve for the Soviet Red Army, and then the German Wehrmacht. During this period, the Allies arrived in France, and Yang was captured by the US Army.

Obviously, James Bond is a British legend, yet he is of Scottish heritage. This is particularly evident in films like Skyfall, in which Bond returns to his childhood home in Scotland. However, Bond's lineage was not revealed until later in the series. Following the popularity of Dr. No, which starred Sean Connery as the famous spy, Ian Fleming incorporated Bond's Scottish origin. Of course, Connery is Scottish. Fleming specifically included these Scottish facts in the 007 novel You Only Live Twice, eternally establishing Bond's background. Connery would subsequently feature in the cinematic version of the book, however it was hardly faithful to the source material.

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 recent study from the University of Bristol, just 0.006 percent of the Korean population carries the ABCC11 gene. This gene is responsible for armpit odour. In fact, the study discovered that most East Asians lack this gene, with Koreans having the lowest amounts. While this may come as a surprise to Americans, it isn't a significant deal in Korea because deodorant isn't widely available!

Official statistics show that over half of all persons up to the age of 64 have the equivalent of a high school graduation, significantly below the OECD average of nearly 75%. Younger generations, on the other hand, are defying the trend, with 65 percent of millennials obtaining the certificate — and the number is climbing.

Martin Lotze, a German researcher, studied the brains of both professional athletes and professional writers and discovered that their brain activity during athletic competition and the writing process was very similar. Lotze discovered an interesting difference between professional and amateur writers: professional writers used their speech-processing centres of the brain to develop their stories, whereas amateur writers relied on their vision centres to imagine the story first.

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.

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.

Granted, everyone dislikes certain colours, but is it really possible to be afraid of a specific colour? Apparently, yes. Chromophobia, also known as Chromatophobia, is an irrational fear or aversion to certain colours. Fortunately, chromophobia is an extremely rare diagnosis that is caused by a conditioned response or a previous negative experience.

Not everyone like frightening movies, but for those who do, there are a few hypotheses as to why, with the major one involving hormones. You receive all the adrenaline, endorphins, and dopamine from a fight-or-flight reaction when you watch a scary movie or go through a haunted house, but your brain knows that you're not truly in danger, so you get that natural high without the risk.

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.

You may have outgrown the hours-of-making-out-on-the-couch stage of your relationship, but you shouldn't dismiss kissing as a pleasurable pastime with your partner—and also a type of exercise! According to Woman's Day's sexologist, one hour of mild kissing burns 68 calories. "Oh my god, an hour?" you may be thinking. Yes, an entire hour. You've got this! You've always wanted to work out with your hubby, and now is your chance.

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.

Now, before you start freaking out, please hear us out! Sedentism is encouraged in today's environment. After all, we sit during our commutes, to eat, to watch TV, to work, to socialise with our friends, and so on. It turns out that even if you exercise regularly, it won't keep you safe from the risks of the "office lifestyle."

Though some historians think that Valentine's Day commemorates St. Valentine's death on February 14, others believe that the event derives from a Pagan fertility festival known as "Lupercalia," which was held on February 15 in ancient Rome. The day was dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, and the Roman founders Romulus and Remus, and was celebrated by sacrificing animals and slapping women with animal skins, a technique thought to increase fertility.

Asakusa is a must-see, with its charming streets (and even the metro station) adorned with these beautiful paintings depicting Japanese history. The thick but aesthetically unified murals exude a cultural vibe while fulfilling two functions: art and storytelling. In Asakusa, you can also buy unusual foods and souvenirs and watch cooks produce street delicacies via glass windows. Visit the iconic Kaminarimon temple, albeit you may have to compete with other eager tourists!

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.

We frequently predict how we will react to a future event, only to find out that we reacted completely differently than we anticipated. We put our faith in the ability of a single event to change everything, but we frequently discover that it has little effect on how we feel.

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.
