It's amazing how ancient some of Europe's structures and cities are. Pharmacies are no different. The Raeapteek on Town Hall Square, according to VisitTallinn, is one of Europe's oldest continually running pharmacies. This institution appears to have been in operation since 1422.

It's true: the fourth-smallest country in Europe has no airports. In fact, the Principality of Liechtenstein lacks both a harbour and a shoreline, making it a doubly landlocked country. That is, it is landlocked, and the nations bordering it are also landlocked. The nearest airport is St. Gallen–Altenrhein Airport in Switzerland, however there are other options for getting to Vaduz, including train, bus, and vehicle.

Although episodes of SuperFriends show him water-skiing with dolphins, Flash makes it clear in the comics that his ability to control sea life doesn't work as well with them as it does with simple fish. According to this Reddit user, Aquaman can't directly control dolphins because their brains are too developed; instead, he can "influence them and hope they follow his orders."

In the 1940s, everyone's favourite Amazonian was dubbed "Suprema, the Wonder Woman," but editor Sheldon Mayer later dropped the moniker because he thought it was too similar to "Superman." If that isn't shocking enough, consider this Wonder Woman fact: the Amazon Princess and Green Lantern were supposed to be a couple until a fan suggested the same pairing. To avoid legal wranglings, DC decided not to continue with the love story.

In Justice League #50, Batman discovered one of the Joker's darkest secrets. As he sat in the Mobius Chair, which can answer any question, Batman inquired, "what is the identity of the Joker?" To everyone's surprise, the answer was that the Joker had three different personalities. The most widely held belief among fans is that these three actors played the Joker during the Golden (Jack Nicholson), Silver (Caesar Romero), and Bronze (Heath Ledger) eras of comic book history.

When Joss Whedon took over production of Justice League after Zack Snyder abruptly left, he had to re-shoot portions of the film. However, for unknown reasons, Henry Cavill was not allowed to shave his moustache. It was part of his image for their Mission Impossible sequel, but was a false stubble really that difficult to create? Producers for the Justice League had to CGI Henry's face and magically remove his moustache. It's a funny time.

Today, it appears obvious that the first superhero was essentially Hercules in blue tights. However, one of the early Superman draught ideas was of a short, bald, mad scientist type who called himself "The Super Man." Perhaps this is why Lex Luthor has such a negative attitude toward super-powered individuals.

DC held a tele-vote in 1988, asking readers to vote on whether Jason Todd should live or die. Todd's abrasive, bratty, and headstrong demeanour made him so unpopular that fans voted "yes," sealing his fate by a razor-thin margin (5,343 – yes, to 5,271 – no). It turns out that The Joker beating him to a pulp with a crowbar and leaving him in an exploding warehouse was entirely up to the fans. Despite this shocking decision, DC continues to pay homage to the iconic character to this day. In fact, an Easter Egg in The Dark Knight featured a small nod to Robin!

Comic Sans, the infamous typeface that appears childish outside of a comic book, is despised by everyone. You'll be surprised to learn that the typeface was inspired primarily by the lettering for Alan Moore's Watchmen and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.

This breed is good for swimming because to its water-resistant hair and webbed feet. They were originally designed to assist fisherman and save people who were drowning. Some Newfoundland owners have even reported their dogs attempting to "rescue" them while swimming.

As previously stated in this article, dogs can hear numerous sounds that humans cannot, and The Beatles took use of this in their popular song "A Day in the Life." In an interview, Paul McCartney said that near the end of the song, a frequency that only dogs can hear was added. Play the music and keep an eye on your pooch near the finish. Music is just as good for dogs as it is for humans, and it may even aid with anxiety.

In 2012, Max the Golden Retriever became the first mayor of the municipality of Idyllwild, California. Mayor Max died in 2013, however he was succeeded by Mayor Max the II, who has been in command of the town ever since. Because Idyllwild is a non-incorporated municipality with no human mayor, Idyllwild Animal Rescue Friends (ARF) financed the first-ever election for Idyllwild. Any person may nominate their pet, which resulted in 14 dogs and two cats on the vote. All votes cost one $1, with the revenues benefiting ARF. These aren't the only creatures who made it onto a ballot.

It's no secret that dogs frequently consume their own excrement (and other faecal matter). Though it may appear nasty, the ASPCA claims it is totally natural, dating back to their pre-domestication days thousands of years ago. It is more prevalent in pups, and older dogs normally grow out of it, but some continue to do so throughout maturity.

Have you ever wondered why dogs prefer to whirl around before going to the bathroom? It's one of many puzzling canine habits, but the predominant hypothesis is that it has something to do with the Earth's magnetic field. Dogs like to defecate towards north or south, and whirling around helps them position their internal compasses appropriately.

When your dog lets out a big yawn, you probably just believe it signifies the same thing humans do when we yawn: he's tired. And while it might be a symptom of exhaustion, dogs yawn for a variety of reasons. Dogs can yawn to settle themselves down, thus frequent yawns could indicate that your pet is worried or agitated. It's similar to how a cat's purr may signify a variety of things, so examining the situation's context can typically help you figure out what's going on.

This is just another of the amusing facts about dogs that aren't quite accurate. You undoubtedly grew up believing that the old adage "reach out your hand to an unknown dog and let it smell you" was gospel. And it can work, but you must be careful how you go about it. Simply thrusting your hand in front of an unfamiliar dog's face might frighten or alienate her. Instead of presuming she wants to and waving your hand under her nose, you're better off letting the dog approach you first and then giving your hand for the dog to smell. And, if you must approach the dog, approach it from the side rather than straight on.

Although Santa Claus is a one-of-a-kind Christmas persona, many actors dress up as the festive figure each year to earn additional money. Mall Santas earn roughly $30 per hour during the holidays, but can earn up to $100 per hour for their services. However, Dan Greenleaf, a professional freelance Santa who owns his own booking agency, told CNBC that the "average hourly mid-range is roughly $150" when he's booked to attend parties, houses, or other events. And if you're very skilled at saying "ho, ho, ho," you might earn $500 per hour. Greenleaf even claims that one of his Santas was promised $1,200 by a Manhattan customer for only one hour on Christmas Day!

Santa's Village is a festive theme park in Canada that is open 365 days a year, so you may come in the winter or camp there in the summer. Many movies, including Hallmark's Christmas in Grand Valley and Netflix's The Knight Before Christmas, starring Vanessa Hudgens, have been shot in the seasonal locale.

It's difficult to conceive what you'd want to listen to if you could ever float among the stars. However, the crew of NASA's Gemini 6A space voyage got into the Christmas spirit and created history when they played "Jingle Bells" on December 16, 1965, setting a Guinness World Record for the first music ever played in space. At least, as far as we know...

If you live in Canada and want to become pen pals with Santa Claus, you may use the Canada Post postal system to send him a letter. What is the address? Canada, Santa Claus, North Pole, HOH OHO. And don't be shocked if you receive a letter in return! He has some assistants that keep track of his correspondence.

Most of us have nostalgic Christmas decorations, but the ornaments that grace the Christmas tree at the Kempinski Hotel Bahia in Marbella, Spain, have a different kind of worth. The tree is adorned with red, white, pink, and black diamonds, as well as jewellery from Bulgari, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Chanel, according to CNN. In addition, there are 3D-printed chocolate peacocks, feathers, ostrich eggs, and perfume bottles on the tree, which is valued a whopping $15 million!

Today, if you visit Rockefeller Center during the Christmas season, you will undoubtedly be taken aback by the sight of the gleaming tree. According to Time, the enormous tree is illuminated with approximately 25,000 lights each year. Can you picture having to check every light bulb to see if it works?!

There are genuine Christmas trees, artificial Christmas trees, and a 30-foot Christmas tree constructed of tumbleweeds in Chandler, Arizona. According to Fodor's Travel, it takes 1,200 tumbleweeds to build the edifice, which is then sprayed in glitter and 20 litres of flame retardant.

Santa Claus parades are held in a variety of places, and each one is unique in its own way. The parade in Peoria, Illinois, on the other hand, is the oldest of its sort in the United States. It's been going on every Christmas season since 1888—that's well over a century of festive pleasure!
