if you google search "recursion", you get "Did you mean recursion?", even though it's spelled correctly. That's because recursion means to do something again.

While trucks with four wheels on the back axle(duallys) have existed for a long time, they all had naked frames so owners could put whatever they wanted on the back until 1973, when first dually to come with an 8-foot truck bed was made by General Motors and Chevrolet.

If you want your bicycle to sound like an MX bike just put a smashed can in the tire. If you want your voice to sound funny with vibrato try saying something into a fan.

If tied end to end, the blood vessels of an adult human body are two and a half times the size of the earth.

Obscure facts huh, sure.

-Jinx in DC was originally an Indian(nation) bald lady, who was a pure sorceress. The Teen Titans cartoon totally rewrote her powers and made her a generic grey skinned meta human.

-Before Rogue from the X-Men got her tragic teen backstory she first appeared as a villain taking out Ms. Marvel(Danvers) off screen by stealing her powers then throwing her off a bridge. In the same Avengers comic of her first appearance, she kicks all the Avengers asses with said stolen powers.

science fact 1. a trapdoor fault is when a volcano with an active magma chamber erupts then the top collapses into the chamber. The collapsed rock resting on the magma chamber acts like a trapdoor spider's door. as it can move around as one piece from an earthquake.

science fact 2. trapdoor faults in the ocean can cause tsunamis a magnitude higher than the earthquake that caused them.

Earl(British Isle) and Count(Continental Europe) are equivalent ranks of the nobility. Earl originated from the word Jarl of the Viking's Nordic court culture. Interestingly, a female Jarl is also called a Jarl, thus there is no feminine form for the title Earl. Count and Countess, on the other hand, came from the Latin origin of comes, and then come, and then into the English Isle via William the Bastard.

You can purchase a fully articulated human skeleton for a cheap price of 7000USD, or a human skull for 2000USD. Legally.

Every chemical comes with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which details and lists every information that is to know about the chemical itself, and how to handle them, as well as treatment if exposed/inhaled/ingested/etc... It is officially recommended that, as a precautionary safety measure for handling H20, is that "Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving work."

In the Biblical story of David v. Goliath, it is Goliath who was at a disadvantage, not David. David was armed with a sling, and he was very good at it. A stone fling from a slingshot can fracture, or even destroy the skull at a high enough sufficient velocity. Goliath most likely suffered a fractured skull, or a broken orbital bone, as the bible directly stated that "[the stone] struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground." (1 Samuel 17, 49). Hell, that stone might as well scrambled Goliath's brain, killing him instantly.

There is actually a such thing as a whitesmith. Just like a blacksmith, they work with metal, except they do not form metal with any forges or heat (think origami with flat sheets of metal).
